Barycenter Command
|
- Barycenter( <List of Points>, <List of Weights> )
-
Set the center of a system of points in the list, defined as the average of their positions, weighted by their value, using the proper formula.
-
Barycenter({(2, 0), (0, 2), (-2, 0), (0, -2)}, {1, 1, 1, 1})
yields point A(0, 0) -
Barycenter({(2, 0), (0, 2), (-2, 0), (0, -2)}, {2, 1, 1, 1})
yields point B(0.4, 0). The x-coordinate of this point was determined by 12+1+1+1∗(2∗2+1∗0+1∗(−2)+1∗0) = 15∗2 = 0.4
