What is the interval notation for the compound inequality? x ≤ −4 or x ≥ 5

torisob [31]

Answer:

(-∞, -4] ∪ [5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Alright, so greater (or less) than or equal to is denoted with a bracket.

If x is less than or equal to -4, then the bracket is on the left side.

(___, -4]

Because x is <em>any</em> number under or equal to -4, x can range from negative infinity. However, we use a parentheses for infinity because infinity can never truly be reached.

So, x $\leq$ -4 = (-∞, -4]

X $\geq$ 5

Equal to = bracket

X is any number above 5, so

[5, ∞)

Because we want both of these, we use the union sign (∪)

so,

= (-∞, -4] ∪ [5, ∞)

Can somebody prove this mathmatical induction?

Flauer [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step:

n=1, then

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^1 2^j=2^1=2\\ \\2(2^1-1)=2(2-1)=2\cdot 1=2$

So, for j=1 this statement is true

2 step:

Assume that for n=k the following statement is true

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

3 step:

Check for n=k+1 whether the statement

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

is true.

Start with the left side:

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}\ \ (\ast)$

According to the 2nd step,

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

Substitute it into the $\ast$

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}=2(2^k-1)+2^{k+1}=2^{k+1}-2+2^{k+1}=2\cdot 2^{k+1}-2=2^{k+2}-2=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

So, you have proved the initial statement

Area is 180,length is 1 1/4,what is the width

rusak2 [61]

180 is the area and the length is 1.25 so we need to find the width. We need to divide 180/1.25 which is 144.
144*1.25 is 180
The width is
144
