465 -(-45) = x

This creates a double negative which becomes a positive and you solution would be 465+45 =X, X = 510

Find the number of elements in A 1 ∪ A 2 ∪ A 3 if there are 200 elements in A 1 , 1000 in A 2 , and 5, 000 in A 3 if (a) A 1 ⊆ A

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

a. 4600

b. 6200

c. 6193

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $n(A)$ the number of elements in A.

Remember, the number of elements in $A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3$ satisfies

$n(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3)=n(A_1)+n(A_2)+n(A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2)-n(A_1\cap A_3)-n(A_2\cap A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2 \cap A_3)$

Then,

a) If $A_1\subseteq A_2, n(A_1 \cap A_2)=n(A_1)=200$ , and if $A_2\subseteq A_3, n(A_2\cap A_3)=n(A_2)=1000$

Since $A_1\subseteq A_2\; and \; A_2\subseteq A_3, \; then \; A_1\cap A_2 \cap A_3= A_1$

So

$n(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3)=\\=n(A_1)+n(A_2)+n(A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2)-n(A_1\cap A_3)-n(A_2\cap A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2 \cap A_3)=\\=200+1000+5000-200-200-1000-200=4600$

b) Since the sets are pairwise disjoint

$n(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3)=\\n(A_1)+n(A_2)+n(A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2)-n(A_1\cap A_3)-n(A_2\cap A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2 \cap A_3)=\\200+1000+5000-0-0-0-0=6200$

c) Since there are two elements in common to each pair of sets and one element in all three sets, then

$n(A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3)=\\=n(A_1)+n(A_2)+n(A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2)-n(A_1\cap A_3)-n(A_2\cap A_3)-n(A_1\cap A_2 \cap A_3)=\\=200+1000+5000-2-2-2-1=6193$

Function 1
rate of change = (80-100)/(2-1) = -20
y = -20x + 120

function 2
y = -18x + 120
rate of change = -18

answer
function 2 shows a greater rate of change

Enter an algebraic expression to model the given context. Give your answer in simplest form. The original price p of an item les

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Original price = p

Less Discount = 20%

Total discount paid for the item = 20% of p

= 20/100 * p

= 0.2 * p

= 0.2p

Actual price after discount = 100% - 20%

= 80%

Total price paid for the item = 80% of p

= 80/100 * p

= 0.8 * p

= 0.8p
