Define the set X = {(x,y)|x > 0,y ≤ √x}.
1 answer:
The set X is convex.
In geometry, a subset of an affine space over the real numbers, or more broadly a subset of a Euclidean space, is said to be convex if it contains the entire line segment connecting any two points in the subset. A solid cube is an example of a convex set, whereas anything hollow or with an indent, such as a crescent shape, is not. Alternatively, a convex region is a subset that crosses every line into a single line segment.
b)The set X is convex as any two points on the set X is included in the whole set as x>0. So a line joining any two points on the set X is completely inside the set x.
c)set X is not a closed set as the compliment of the set is not an open set.
d)Set X is not bounded. If a set S contains both upper and lower bounds, it is said to be bounded. A set of real numbers is therefore said to be bounded if it fits inside a defined range. hence set x is not bounded.

Simplify the ration expression
start by seeing if anything in the numerator or denominator can be factored,
you should notice that you can factor out a 3 from 3x-6 in the numerator
when you do so, the result is
now, since there is an x-2 in the numerator and denominator, they "cancel" out since
however, only when
since
when you cancel out the x-2, you're left with 3
hence, your answer is C
