Show by using "proof by contradiction" that the set of binary sequences {0,1}N is uncountable.

Answer:

You can prove this important result as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the set of all binary sequences, that is to say, \{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}. Suppose that A is a countable set. Then the elements of  A can be ordered as a sequence \{s_{1},s_{2}, s_{3},...\}, where each s_{i} is a binary sequence. The k\text{-th} digit of each sequence is expressed by s_{n}(k). Define the sequence s as follows:

s(k)=\begin{cases}1&\text{if}\,s_{k}(k)=0\\ 0 &\text{if}\,s_{k}(k)=1\end{cases}

Note that s differ from each s_{k} in at least one digit. Then s\neq s_n for all n\geq 1, then s\notin A. This contradicts the fact that A is the set of all binary sequences. Then A must be a uncountable set.

Anna wanted to buy a camera. The first discount store sold her favorite camera for $95. The second store sold the same camera fo
lions [1.4K]

The second store offered the better buy at the price of $92.00.

What is better buy?

Better buy refers to the lowest price out of the prices offered by the three stores.

In order to determine the lowest price, the no discount price of the first store needs to be compared to the prices of  two other stores, bearing that after-discount price is the pre-discount price multiplied by 1 minus the discount rate.

First store price=$95.00

Second store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$115

discount rate=20%

Second store after-discount price=$115*(1-20%)

Second store after-discount price=$92.00

Third store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$105

discount rate=10%

Third store after-discount price=$105*(1-10%)

Third store after-discount price=$94.50

X2 + 8x + 6
Svetradugi [14.3K]
You could put the ‘+6’ at the start of the equation so it would read as +6(x2+8x) and then expand the bracket as you normally would so you would get x2x6 which would get you 12x and then 6x8x which would get you 48x and then you could group both numbers together as they’re like terms and your final answer would be 60x
