Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalence relation R satisfies

  • Reflexivity: for all x on the underlying set in which R is defined, (x,x)∈R, or xRx.
  • Symmetry: For all x,y, if xRy then yRx.
  • Transitivity: For all x,y,z, If xRy and yRz then xRz.

Let's check these properties: Let x,y,z be bit strings of length three or more

The first 3 bits of x are, of course, the same 3 bits of x, hence xRx.

If xRy, then then the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of x are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of y respectively. Then y agrees with x on its first third bits (by symmetry of equality), hence yRx.

If xRy and yRz, x agrees with y on its first 3 bits and y agrees with z in its first 3 bits. Therefore x agrees with z in its first 3 bits (by transitivity of equality), hence xRz.

p = total # of pages

2/5p + 32 = 310 (She read 2/5 of the book, read an addition of 32 pages, and she read a total of 310 pages.) Subtract 32 on both sides

2/5p = 278 (multiply each side by 5/2 to get p by itself)

p = 695

Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of choosing a red card
joja [24]

Answer: \dfrac{3}{51}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of red cards = 26

There are two types of red  cards : diamond and heart.

Number of diamond cards = 13

The probability that the first card is a diamond :-

\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Since diamond is also a red card.

Now, the total cards left = 51

The number of red cards left = 12

The probability that the second card is a red card (without repetition) is given by :-

\dfrac{12}{51}

Now, the probability of choosing a red card for the second card drawn, if the first card, drawn without replacement, was a diamond :-

\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{12}{51}=\dfrac{3}{51}

Divide and simplify. √36 x⁴ / √9 x⁶
Vikki [24]

The divide and simplify of the equation √36 x⁴ / √9 x⁶ will result to  \frac{2}{x^{2} }

Let's begin by simplifying the equation;

Simplify the equation by finding the square root of both 36 and 9

The square root of 36= 6

The square root of 9= 3

= \frac{6x^{4} }{3x^{6} }

The above equation can also be written as;

=  6x^{4}  * 3x^{-6}

The next step is to solve the powers, that is,

=   \frac{6x^{4} }{3x^{6} }

Cancel out 6 by 3 and get  2

The result is,  

=  \frac{2}{x^{6-4} }

The final submission result is,

=  \frac{2}{x^{2} }

At store A, 3 pounds of apples cost $12. At store B, the cost is given by y = 2 x where y is the cost in dollars and x is the nu
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The unit price is the cost per unit of an item or the cost/price for each item.

1) 4$ per pound. By simplifying the proportion (constant ratio) between the cost, and the pounds of apples. 3 pounds of apples cost 12$ → 3/3 pounds of apples cost 12/3$ → 4 dollars for every pound.

2) 2$ per pound. By evaluating the rate of change (change in the y over x or dependent variable over independent) in the equation: y = 2x. y is the cost in dollars, and x is the pounds of apples. So there are 2 pounds (weight) of apples for every dollar.

3) 3$ per pound. Given a graph with a y scaled by 3, and an x scaled by 1 with a graph y = x or 1 unit up for every unit right. This must be equivalent to y = 3x. Where y is labeled as the cost in dollars, and x as the weight in pounds. So there are 3 dollars for every pound of apples.

4) Store B. Because 2 is less than 3 which is less than 4.

Hope it helps, stay safe and tell me if me wrong! :D
