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.

To solve by completing the square, what needs to be moved in this equation?
Elza [17]

Answer:

To complete the square, we need to have the equation set up like this:

x^2 +4x =9

To do that, we'd need to move the 4x to the left side producing

4x + x^2 = 9

And that can be rewritten as

x^2 +4x =9

So the term that needs to be moved is -4x
