or a counter example.


(a) A ⊆ ((A∩B)∪C).

(b) (A∪B)∩C = (A∩B)∪C.

(c) (A\B)∩C = (A∩C) \ (B∩C).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) and (b) are not true in general. Refer to the explanations below for counterexamples.

It can be shown that (c) is indeed true.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation will use a lot of empty sets [tex]\phi[/tex] just to keep the counterexamples simple.

(a)

Note that [tex]A \cap B[/tex] can well be smaller than [tex]A[/tex]. It should be alarming that the question is claiming [tex]A\![/tex] to be a subset of something that can be smaller than [tex]\! A[/tex]. Here's a counterexample that dramatize this observation:

Consider:

[tex]A = \left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace[/tex].[tex]B = \phi[/tex] (an empty set, same as [tex]\left\lbrace \right\rbrace[/tex].)[tex]C = \phi[/tex] (another empty set.)

The intersection of an empty set with another set should still be an empty set:

[tex]A \cap B = \left\lbrace 1\right\rbrace \cap \left\lbrace\right\rbrace = \left\lbrace\right\rbrace[/tex].

The union of two empty sets should also be an empty set:

[tex]((A \cap B) \cup C) = \left\lbrace\right\rbrace \cup \left\lbrace\right\rbrace = \left\lbrace\right\rbrace[/tex].

Apparently, the one-element set [tex]A = \left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace[/tex] isn't a subset of an empty set. [tex]A \not \subseteq ((A\cap B) \cup C)[/tex]. Contradiction.

(b)

Consider the same counterexample

[tex]A = \left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace[/tex].[tex]B = \phi[/tex] (an empty set, same as [tex]\left\lbrace \right\rbrace[/tex].)[tex]C = \left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace[/tex] (another empty set.)

Left-hand side:

[tex](A \cup B) \cap C = \left(\left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace \cup \left\lbrace \right\rbrace\right) \cap \left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace\right = \left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace \cap \left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace = \left\lbrace \right\rbrace[/tex].

Right-hand side:

[tex](A \cap B) \cup C = \left(\left\lbrace 1 \right\rbrace \cap \left\lbrace \right\rbrace\right) \cup \left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace\right = \left\lbrace \right\rbrace \cup \left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace = \left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace[/tex].

Apparently, the empty set on the left-hand side [tex]\left\lbrace \right\rbrace[/tex] is not the same as the [tex]\left\lbrace 2 \right\rbrace[/tex] on the right-hand side. Contradiction.

(c)

Part one: show that left-hand side is a subset of the right-hand side.

Let [tex]x[/tex] be a member of the set on the left-hand side.

[tex]x \in (A \backslash B) \cap C[/tex].

[tex]\implies x\in A \backslash B[/tex] and [tex]x \in C[/tex] (the right arrow here reads "implies".)

[tex]\implies x \in A[/tex] and [tex]x \not\in B[/tex] and [tex]x \in C[/tex].

[tex]\implies (x \in A\cap C)[/tex] and [tex]x \not\in B \cap C[/tex].

[tex]\implies x \in (A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C)[/tex].

Note that [tex]x \in (A \backslash B) \cap C[/tex] (set on the left-hand side) implies that [tex]x \in (A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C)[/tex] (set on the right-hand side.)

Therefore:

[tex](A \backslash B) \cap C \subseteq (A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C)[/tex].

Part two: show that the right-hand side is a subset of the left-hand side. This part is slightly more involved than the first part.

Let [tex]x[/tex] be a member of the set on the right-hand side.

[tex]x \in (A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C)[/tex].

[tex]\implies x \in A \cap C[/tex] and [tex]x \not\in B \cap C[/tex].

Note that [tex]x \not\in B \cap C[/tex] is equivalent to:

[tex]x \not \in B[/tex], OR[tex]x \not\in C[/tex], ORboth [tex]x \not\in B[/tex] AND [tex]x \not \in C[/tex].

However, [tex]x \in A \cap C[/tex] implies that [tex]x \in A[/tex] AND [tex]x \in C[/tex].

The fact that [tex]x \in C[/tex] means that the only possibility that [tex]x \not\in B \cap C[/tex] is [tex]x \not \in B[/tex].

To reiterate: if [tex]x \not \in C[/tex], then the assumption that [tex]x \in A \cap C[/tex] would not be true any more. Therefore, the only possibility is that [tex]x \not \in B[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]x \in (A \backslash B)\cap C[/tex].

In other words, [tex]x \in (A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C) \implies x \in (A \backslash B)\cap C[/tex].

[tex](A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C) \subseteq (A \backslash B)\cap C[/tex].

Combine these two parts to obtain: [tex](A \backslash B) \cap C = (A \cap C) \backslash (B \cap C)[/tex].

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,-7) and has a slope of negative 1

Answers

Answer:

y = -x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use equation: y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y intercept. You are given a slope of -1 for the m. This is usually expressed as just a "-", as the 1 is inferred.

Since you are given a point, plug the x and y values in to the equation.

-7 = -(5) + b

Solve for b:

-7 = -5 + b

-2 = b

Knowing "m" and "b", plug these in to get your final equation

y = -x - 2

2. During typhoon Ambo, PAGASA tracks the amount of accumulating rainfall. For the first three hours of typhoon, the rain fell at a constant rate of 25mm per hour The typhoon slows down for an hour and started again at a constant rate of 20 mm per hour for the next two hours. Write a piecewise function that models the amount of rainfall as function of time.​

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information:

First three hours of typhoon: rate of Rainfall. = 25mm per hour

Typhoon slows down for an hour : then Rainfall began again at a constant rate of 20 mm per hour for the next 2 hours

Piecewise function which models Rainfall ad a function of time

Amount of Rainfall as a function of time = f(t)

f(t) = 25t ; if t≤ 3

When typhoon slowed down for an hour :

f(t) = 0;

f(t) = 25*3 ; for t ∈ (3, 4)

Then Rainfall at a constant rate of 20mm for another 2 hours

f(t) = (25 *3) + 20(t - 4) ; for t ∈ (5, 6)

Answer:

The answer is "2.2 h"

Step-by-step explanation:

Train B is then moving on:

[tex]= \frac{200 \ miles}{ 105 \ mph} \\\\= 1.905 \ h\\[/tex]

Then it takes Train A to the left:

Jefferson Middle School needs to see a 300% gain in PTO fundraiser
sales from last year. If they sold a total of $2,420 last year, how much do
they need to sell this year to meet their goal? *

Answers

Given parameters:

Percentage gain = 300%

Selling cost last year = $2420

Unknown:

Selling cost this year  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

     Profit percent  = [tex]\frac{Selling cost this year - Selling cost last year}{Selling cost last year} x 100[/tex]

      300 = [tex]\frac{S - 2420}{2420} x 100[/tex]

      3 = [tex]\frac{S - 2420}{2420}[/tex]

         S- 2420 = 7260

          S = $9680

To make a 300% gain, Jefferson Middle school needs a $9680 from fundraiser sales this year.

(b) Construct a box plot of the data.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The sample mean and sample standard deviation are 2.415 and 0.5342 respectively.

(a)

Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}{x_{i}} =\frac{1}{8}\times 19.32=2.415\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum\limits_{i}{(x_{i}-\bar x^{2})^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8-1}\times 1.9976}=0.5342[/tex]

SOLUTION:

Rate of change for the function is given as [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex].

Let,

[tex] (-3, 3.6) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (5, 2) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{2 - 3.6}{5 - (-3)} [/tex]

The rate of change of y with respect to x for this function is -0.2

Given :

The graph of a linear function is shown on the grid

To find the rate of change of y with respect to x , we need to pick two points from the graph

Two points are (-3,3.6)  and (5,2)

Latoya has a bookcaes with k shelves. There are 14 books on each shelf. Using k, write an expression for the total number of books

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pamela has 15 different books. In how many ways can she place her books on two selves so that there is at least one book on each shelf? (Consider the books in each arrangement to be stacked one next to the other, with the first book on each shelf at the left of the shelf.)

Initially, I thought that this would be fairly straight forward. There are two cases where either shelf could be empty and so we would subtract 2 from the total number of permutations which is obviously 15!. It is obvious now that both of these statements are false.

My previous thoughts didn't take into account the fact that there are two shelves and that the books could be stacked in such a way that 5 are on the top shelf and 10 are on the bottom, or 8 on top with 7 on bottom, or any number of other ways. I believe there are 214 ways the books can be distributed amongst the two shelves (keep in mind that each shelf has to have at least one book, 15−1=14) if the ordering of the books didn't matter, but it does. Is this correct?
