The difference between the two rational numbers results in a rational number.

A rational number is a number that can be express as a fraction.

Hence the final is FALSE

\begin{gathered} Forexample2.5\text{ is a rational numner = }\frac{5}{2} \\ 3.1\text{ is a rational number = }\frac{31}{10} \\ Therefore,\text{   = }\frac{31}{10}\text{ - }\frac{5}{2} \\ =\text{ }\frac{31\text{ - 25}}{10} \\ =\text{ }\frac{6}{10} \end{gathered}

So, the difference between two rational numbers results in a rational number.

The cardinality of the set of positive integer is infinity. (True or False)
Bad White [126]

Answer:

It is false, because infinity is not a cardinality. The set  N  of positive integers is infinite and its cardinality is, if you wish,  ℵ0 , the smallest infinite cardinal number, at least in an axiomatic set theory. A set  S  is infinite if and only if there exists a bijection between  S  and a proper subset of  S , i.e. a subset of  S  different from  S . Now the successor function  s:N→N∗  is such a bijection; this follows from Peano’s axioms for arithmetic.

PLEASE HELP ASAP !!!!<br><br><br> Explain Larissa's mistake using 1-3 complete sentences.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Line 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph intersects at (-5, 16) and (2, 2)

Because she needs to plug the x's back into the equation

so  16 = -2(-5) + 6  or  16 = -5^{2} + -5 - 4

and  2 = -2(2) + 6  or  2 = 2^{2} + 2 - 4

Suppose U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} is the universal set and G = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. What is G?
Nesterboy [21]
Your posted question defines G, then asks what G is.
G is the set in the definition you gave.

G = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

_____
Perhaps you want to know the complement of G. That is all the elements of U that are not in G.

G' = {8, 9, 10}
