### The hopf map in terms of quaternions is defined as$h:r↦{R}_{r}\left({P}_{0}\right)=ri\overline{r}$where r is a unit quaternion and ${P}_{0}=\left(1,0,0\right)$ is a fixed point. If a point $r\in {S}^{3}$ is sent by the Hopf map to the point $P\in {S}^{2}$ , a formula can be derived for a particular representation for the cosets. In my case, I want to derive a formula for the ${180}^{\circ }$ rotations around an axes through i and other points in ${S}^{3}$ .

### This may be a dumb question.The Poisson postulates are:1. $P\left(n=1,h\right)=\lambda h+o\left(h\right)$2. $\sum _{i=2}^{\mathrm{\infty }}P\left(n=i,h\right)=o\left(h\right)$3. Events in nonoverlapping intervals are independentWhat ensures that $\lambda h\in \left[0,1\right]$ irrespective of the value of $\lambda$ ?

### If a line L separates a parallelogram into two regions of equal areas, then L contains the point of intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram.The figure shows a line L horizontally through the sides of the parallelogram.This creates two trapezoids and I can intuitively show that if the bases of the trapezoids are not congruent then the areas can not be equal.I just can not currently see how to relate the intersection with the diagonals.Any help will be appreciated.

### I've been away from math far too long, and now my memory plays tricks on me when I try to recall simple facts.I know that $det\left({v}_{1},\dots ,{v}_{n}\right)$ is the oriented volume of the simplex determined by the origin and the vectors ${v}_{1},\dots ,{v}_{n}$ (up to a constant factor depending on the dimension $n$).But I fell into utter confusion when I tried to make up why, especially when I tried to prove that this formula works for a shifted simplex, too.What I'm sure is that det is an alternating bi-linear form that fits naturally with an oriented volume function.What I've found on the net is dependent on what definition is used, and prone to circular reasoning.Explicit question: how and why is the oriented volume of a simplex related to the determinant of its vectors?What I've tried: proved it for $n=1,n=2,n=3$, and I've seen that this is not the way to go.

### Consider the triangle $\mathrm{\Delta }ABC$ , which D is the midpoint of segment BC, and let the point G be defined such that $\left(GD\right)=\frac{1}{3}\left(AD\right)$ . Assuming that ${z}_{A},{z}_{B},{z}_{C}$ are the complex numbers representing the points (A, B, C):a. Find the complex number ${z}_{G}$ that represents the point Gb. Show that $\left(CG\right)=\frac{2}{3}\left(CF\right)$ and that F is the midpoint of the segment (AB)

### We have a $\mathrm{△}ABC$ and a $\mathrm{△}{A}_{1}{B}_{1}{C}_{1}$. The segments $CL$ and ${C}_{1}{L}_{1}$ are angle bisectors. If $\mathrm{△}ALC\sim \mathrm{△}{A}_{1}{L}_{1}{C}_{1}$, I should show that $\mathrm{△}ABC\sim \mathrm{△}{A}_{1}{B}_{1}{C}_{1}$.From the similarity, we have $\frac{AL}{{A}_{1}{L}_{1}}=\frac{CL}{{C}_{1}{L}_{1}}=\frac{AC}{{A}_{1}{C}_{1}}$. The only way I see from here is to show that $\mathrm{△}LBC\sim \mathrm{△}{L}_{1}{B}_{1}{C}_{1}$. Is this necessary for the solution?

### 1) I know that all inner product space is also a normed space with the norm induce by the scalar product, but is the reciprocal true ? I mean, is all normed space also a inner product space ?2) I know that all normed space is a metric space with the metric induced by the norm. Is the reciprocal true ? I mean, is all metric space also a normed space ?

### How do I prove that a triangle with sides a, b, c, has an angle bisector (bisecting angle A) is of length:$\frac{2\sqrt{bcs\left(s-a\right)}}{b+c}$I have tried using the sine and cosine rule but have largely failed. A few times I have found a way but they are way too messy to work with.

While elementary geometry is often encountered by college students as they are dealing with the basic design and modeling tasks, it is often necessary to implement equations or turn to Euclidean Geometry to determine the values of shapes and figures that are related to axioms and different theorems. When you are dealing with flat surfaces, it will help you to work with straight line segments. The same relates to those cases when you need to calculate formulas by using midpoint formula example problems that you can find below as you are dealing with the elementary problems in Geometry. If you find it ov
