Answer:  a) B would get 904 sweets.

b) There are 1582 sweets in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of share of bag of sweets in A, B, and C is given by 4:8:2.

Number of sweets A received = 452

Since part of sweets A would get = \dfrac{4}{14}=\dfrac{2}{7}

So, it becomes

\dfrac{2}{7}x=452\\\\x=\dfrac{452\times 7}{2}\\\\x=1582

so, B would get

\dfrac{8}{14}\times 1582\\\\=904

Hence, a) B would get 904 sweets.

b) There are 1582 sweets in total.

Answer the following true or false. Justify your answer.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

a) False b) False c) True d) True e) True

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If A is a subset of B, and x∈B, then x∈A. False

Suppose A is Z (Set of Integers), and B is R (Set of Real Numbers). Then A is a subset of B. x ∈ B, let's say x equals π. If x ∈ B (B = Real Numbers) and x=π then x ∉ A (Z).

We could call A, any other subset of Real numbers (Q, I,..) and we both would come up to the same conclusion when it comes to Real numbers the Set.

So this conclusion is False. Not always an element of a subset is an element of a set.

b) False

For this one, I've drawn some lines, and it is useful to work with them.

Given the set {(x,y) ∈ R²| 0<x<0} then all negative and positive numbers but zero belong to this set.

c) If A and B are square matrices, then AB is also square. True

Taking into account the rules for multiplying matrices. The number of columns of A must be the same number of lines of B to there can be a matrix product.

Whenever we multiply square matrices, we'll always get square matrices. Then this conclusion is true.

d) A and B are subsets of a set S, then A∩B and A∪B are also subsets of S. True

Suppose A= Z (Integer Numbers) and B=Q (Rational Numbers) and S= R (Real Numbers)

A∩B = Z∩Q=∅ and A∪B =Z∪Q = subset

Since the ∅ empty set ⊂ in every set and ZUQ is another Subset of R this is a True conclusion.

e) True. For a matrix A, we define A²= AA

For any Power of Matrices, all we have to do is multiply any given matrix by itself for a given number of times.

M²=M*M

M³=M*M*M

Drag expressions to show the steps to create an equivalent expression using only positive exponents. Let g and h be two nonzero
Liula [17]

Equivalent expressions are expressions that have the same value.

The equivalent expression of g^{-3}h is: \frac{h}{g^3}

The expression is given as;

g^{-3}h

Apply law of indices to change the exponents

g^{-3}h = \frac{1}{g^3}h

Express as products

g^{-3}h = \frac{1}{g^3} \times h

Rewrite as

g^{-3}h = \frac{h}{g^3}

Hence, the equivalent expression is: \frac{h}{g^3}

It would be the first one because it’s the only one with the same numbers. if all the numbers and xy match then that mean there’s an infinite numbering solutions

Please please help me

X=3 because you subtract the three on both sides to get x alone. So you get: 7x=21 then you divide seven by 21 and get x=3

Please provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation on how to solve this problem.
iren [92.7K]
There's a relatively easy way to solve problems of this nature. You determine the contribution made if the only contributor is the one that contributes the least.

A chicken has the least number of feet, so 24 chickens will contribute 48 feet.

Now, you consider the change in contribution made by substituting a larger contributor. Each pig that replaces a chicken will add 2 feet to the total.

Consider how many feet need to be added, and thus how many larger contributors are needed. 80 -48 = 32 feet need to be added, so 32/2 = 16 of the animals need to be pigs.

There are 16 pigs and 8 chickens.
