Answer:

The cardinal number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardinal number of a set represents the number of distinct elements of the set. That means for this exercise the goal is to identify the total number of elements of the set.

First step. Identifying the elements of the set.

If we look at the sequence 9, 11, 13, ... , 31, we have an arithmetic sequence a_n, so we can start by finding the common difference d.

d = a_{n+1}-a_n

That means we can pick any 2 consecutive terms and find the subtraction of them, so we can pick for example 9 and 11, thus we get

d= 11-9\\d=2

Second step. Finding the number of terms of the arithmetic sequence.

Now to find the number of elements n of that sequence, we can look at the last number of the sequence on this case it is 31, and we can use the formula for the nth term, that is

a_n=a_1 + d(n-1)

Replacing the last term a_n = 31 and the initial term a_1=9, will give us

31=9+2(n-1)

From there we can solve for n, by moving first that 9 to the other side.

31-9=2(n-1)\\22=2(n-1)

Then we can divide both sides by 2, and lastly add by 1.

\cfrac{22}{2} = n-1  \\11 = n-1\\\boxed{n= 12}

Thus since the sequence has 12 elements, we know that the cardinal number of the set is 12.

Emelia earns $8.00 per hour plus a gas allowance of $3.50 per day at her job. How much does Emilia's job pay in a day when she w
Bogdan [553]

Answer: Required expression = 8h +3.50

Emilia's job pay  $ 43.5 in a day when she works 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hourly earning = $8.00

gas allowance per day =  $3.50

Pay per day = (Hourly earning ) x (Number of hours ) + (gas allowance per day)

Let h = number of hours

Pay per day = 8h +3.50

If Emily worked for 5 hours, then put h= 5, we get

Pay per day = 8(5) +3.50

= $ 40 +3.50

= $ 43.5

Required expression = 8h +3.50

Emilia's job pay  $ 43.5 in a day when she works 5 hours.

Becky and luke bought the same kind of pencils and erasers . Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers . Luke spent $2.65 fo
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5

the cost of each eraser is $0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one pencil.

Let y represent the cost of one eraser.

Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that

2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1

Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that

5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

2x + 3y = 1.45

15x + 3y = 7.95

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13x = - 6.5

x = - 6.5/- 13

x = 0.5

Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes

5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65

2.5 + y = 2.65

y = 2.65 - 2.5

y = 0.15
