Cost of Lightbulb = x

cost of switch is x-8

9x + 4(x-8) = 520.50

Use distributive property:

9x + 4x -32 = 520.50

Simplify:

13x -32 = 520.50

Add 32 to both sides:

13x = 552.50

Divide both sides by 13

X = 42.50

A lightbulb costs $42.50

A switch costs 42.50-8 = $34.50

When will n(A∩B)=0? Explain and give an example.

Answer:

Two sets are called disjoint if they have no elements in common. For example:

The sets S = { 2, 4, 6, 8 } and T = { 1, 3, 5, 7 } are disjoint.

Another way to define disjoint sets is to say that their intersection is the empty set,

Two sets A and B are disjoint if A ∩ B = 0.

In the example above,

S ∩ T = ∅ because no number lies in both sets.

$\bf S_{20}=\displaystyle\sum \limits_{n=1}^{\stackrel{\stackrel{n}{\downarrow }}{20}}~\stackrel{\stackrel{a_1}{\downarrow }}{3}(\stackrel{\stackrel{r}{\downarrow }}{1.5})^{n-1}\implies S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{1-1.5^{20}}{1-1.5} \right)\implies S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{1-\stackrel{\approx}{3325.3}}{-0.5} \right) \\\\\\ S_{20}=3\left(\cfrac{-3324.3}{-0.5} \right)\implies S_{20}=3(6648.6)\implies S_{20}=19945.8$
