Answer:  The required answers are

(a) 69,  (b) 21,  (c) 21  and  (d) 0.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that the set A has 48 elements and the set B has 21 elements.

(a) To determine the maximum possible number of elements in A ∪ B.

If the sets A and B are disjoint, that is they do not have any common element. Then, A ∩ B = { }   ⇒   n(A ∩ B) = 0.

From set theory, we have

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=48+21-0=69.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in  A ∪ B is 69.

(b) To determine the minimum possible number of elements in A ∪ B.

If the set B is a subset of set A, that is all the elements of set B are present in set A. Then,  n(A ∩ B) = 21.

From set theory, we have

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=48+21-21=48.

So, the minimum possible number of elements in  A ∪ B is 21.

(c) To determine the maximum possible number of elements in A ∩ B.

If the set B is a subset of set A, that is all the elements of set B are present in set A. Then, n(A ∩ B) = 21.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in  A ∩ B is 21.

(d) To determine the minimum possible number of elements in A ∩ B.

If the sets A and B are disjoint, that is there is no common element in the sets A and B . Then,  n(A ∩ B) = 0.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in  A ∩ B is 0.

Thus, the required answers are

(a) 69,  (b) 21,  (c) 21  and  (d) 0.

The # of taxi accidents is approximated by y = -143.3x^2 + 1823.3x + 6820 and the # of injuries is approximated by y = -416.72x^
spin [16.1K]
To analyze the problem first is to arrange the equations according to their uses:
# of taxi accident y = -143.3X^2+1823.3x+6820
# of injuries y = -416.72X^2+4416.7x+8500
So the answer if X = 9 will be represented by 1999
# of taxi accident y = 11622.4
# of injuries y = 14495.98
I hope you understand the answer and feel free to ask for more.

kogti [31]

Answer:

\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{4} =  finding common denominator which is 12.   so multiply both sides  with what makes them 12 ...... \frac{1}{6}  \frac{2}{2}    & \frac{1}{4}\frac{3}{3}  then add = \frac{5}{12}
