Answer:

W ⊂ Z: TRUE. As mentioned earlier, Z includes all whole numbers thus W is a subset of it.

R ⊂ W: FALSE. Not all real numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers must be rational and expressed without fractions. Some real numbers do not meet this criteria.

0 ∈ Z: TRUE. Zero is indeed an integer thus it is an element of Z.

∅ ⊂ R: TRUE. A null set is a subset of R, and in fact every set in general. There are no elements in a null set thus making it automatically a subset of any non-empty set by definition (since NONE of its elements are not an element of R).

{0,1,2,...} ⊆ W: TRUE. The set on the left is exactly what is defined on the problem statement for W. (The bar below the subset symbol just means that the subset is not strict, therefore the set on the left can be equal to the set on the right. Without it, the statement would be false since a strict subset requires that the two sets should not be equal).

-2 ∈ W: FALSE. W is just composed of whole numbers and not of its negated counterparts.

We can start solving this problem by first identifying what the elements of the sets really are.

R is composed of real numbers. This means that all numbers, whether rational or not, are included in this set.

Z is composed of integers. Integers include all negative and positive numbers as well as zero (it is essentially a set of whole numbers as well as their negated values).

W on the other hand has 0,1,2, and onward as its elements. These numbers are known as whole numbers.

W ⊂ Z: TRUE. As mentioned earlier, Z includes all whole numbers thus W is a subset of it.

R ⊂ W: FALSE. Not all real numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers must be rational and expressed without fractions. Some real numbers do not meet this criteria.

0 ∈ Z: TRUE. Zero is indeed an integer thus it is an element of Z.

∅ ⊂ R: TRUE. A null set is a subset of R, and in fact every set in general. There are no elements in a null set thus making it automatically a subset of any non-empty set by definition (since NONE of its elements are <u>not</u> an element of R).

{0,1,2,...} ⊆ W: TRUE. The set on the left is exactly what is defined on the problem statement for W. (The bar below the subset symbol just means that the subset is not strict, therefore the set on the left can be <u>equal</u> to the set on the right. Without it, the statement would be false since a strict subset requires that the two sets should not be equal).

-2 ∈ W: FALSE. W is just composed of whole numbers and not of its negated counterparts.

Which unit would probably be used to measure how long a cell phone is?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Mostly millimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

Length has several unit like m,cm, mm, feet, miles, inches, km etc

we measure the length in units which is more understandable or readable. like thickness of mobile is around 3mm to 1cm or we can even measure in inches like .5inch but if we measure it in meter or feet it will be difficult to understand, read and write similarly the unit of length most suitable for measuring the height of a backyard tree is meter or feet because the length of tree is around 10 feet to 25 feet or 2meter to 6meter if we measure the length in cm or mm or in inches then it will be difficult to understand, read and write.

Give a rule for finding the first of four consecutive odd integers if you know the sum of the four integers.

Artemon [7]

This ones a bit of a trick question, since whether the integers are even or odd doesn't really matter. What does matter, is that consecutive odd integers are 2 numbers apart (as are consecutive even integers).

So again, if the first of the odd integers is the variable n

the consecutive odd integers after it can be written as:

n+2 , n+4, etc...

So the sum of four consecutive odd integers can be written as:

sum = n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6)

Simplify:

sum = 4n + 12

And finally rearrange to solve for n:

$\frac{sum-12}{4}$ = n

This can also be written as:

$\frac{sum}{4}$ - 3 = n

Whichever way you prefer.

A person jogged 10 times along the perimeter of a rectangular field at the rate of 12 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes. If fie

balu736 [363]

Answer:

20,000m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If they jog 12 km/h for half an hour, they have covered.

12 X 0.5 = 6km in 10 circuits. Making 1 perimeter

6 / 10 =0.6 km (600 m).

To determine area we need to convert this perimeter to length and width. We know that it is a rectangle, with 2 equal widths and 2 equal lengths, and the length is twice the width.

So L = 2W

Perimeter = 2W + 2L

600 m = 2W + 2(2W)

600 m = 6W

W = 100 m

L = 200 m

Area = 100 X 200 = 20,000 m²

A farmer wants to build a rectangular garden 10ft long and 6ft wide. How many feet of fencing should he buy?

Lana71 [14]

He should buy 32 feet of fencing. I got 32 by just finding the perimeter or in other words adding 10+10+6+6 which equal 32. You would NOT do area or 10×6 because that would include that land within the fenced area and who wants 60 feet of fencing that you can't put anything in?

Good luck, hope that helped.
