How many distinct pairs of disjoint non-empty subsets of A are there, the union of which is all of A?

1 answer:

5 0

A = {1, 2, 5, 6, 8}
{1} U {2, 5, 6, 8}
{2} U {1, 5, 6, 8}
{5} U {1, 2, 6, 8}
{6} U {1, 2, 5, 8}
{8} U {1, 2, 5, 6}
{1, 2} U {5, 6, 8}
{1, 5} U {2, 6, 8}
{1, 6} U {2, 5, 8}
{1, 8} U {2, 5, 6}
{1, 2, 5} U {6, 8}
{1, 2, 6} U {5, 8}
{1, 2, 8} U {5, 6}
{1, 5, 6} U {2, 8}
{1, 5, 8} U {2, 6}
{1, 6, 8} U {2, 5}
The answer is 15 distinct pairs of disjoint non-empty subsets.

At a local restaurant, the amount of time that customers have to wait for their food is normally distributed with a mean of 18 m

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

99.7% of customers have to wait between 8 minutes to 30 minutes for their food.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 18 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 4 minutes

We are given that the distribution of amount of time is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Empirical Formula:

Almost all the data lies within three standard deviation from the mean for a normally distributed data.
About 68% of data lies within one standard deviation from the mean.
About 95% of data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.
About 99.7% of data lies within three standard deviation of the mean.

Thus, 99.7% of the customers have to wait:

$\mu -3\sigma = 18-3(4) = 6\\\mu +3\sigma = 18+3(4) = 30$

Thus, 99.7% of customers have to wait between 8 minutes to 30 minutes for their food.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point 4, -6 and has a slope of -3

zheka24 [161]

Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.
$- 6 = - 3(4) + b$
Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.
$-6 = - 12 + b$
Now divide the -12 from both sides.
$\frac{ - 6}{ - 12} = \frac{ - 12}{ - 12} + b$
-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with
$- \frac {1}{2} = b$
Now re-enter the info back into the formula.
$y = - 3x - \frac{1}{2}$
Then you've got your formula

A homemade loaf of bread turns out to be a perfect cube. Five slices of bread, each 0.6 inch thick, are cut from one end of the

erastovalidia [21]

A cube has all sides of equal length.

So let the side be x

that will be length = width = height = x

Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf. But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.

For each slice the dimensions are -

Length = x

height = x

width = 0.6

Volume of the original loaf is x³.

Volume of 5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).

Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.

So, equation of the volume is=

x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235

Solve for x using this equation.

x³ - 3x² = 235

x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0

Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get

x = 7.35

Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.

Please find attached the graph.

At the theater, tickets for adults cost $4.75

shutvik [7]

X+y= 26 and 4.75x + 2.25y= 83.50

y=26-x( substitute this into second equation for y and solve for x)

4.75x + 2.25(26-x)= 83.50

4.75x + 58.5-2.25x= 83.50

x= 10

Now solve for y by substituting your answer for x

10+ y= 26

y=16

Therefore, 16 tickets were purchased for kids and 10 for adults.
