Use the principle of inclusion and exclusion to find the number of positive integers less than 1,000,000 that are not divisable

wel

This is a simple problem based on combinatorics which can be easily tackled by using inclusion-exclusion principle.
We are asked to find number of positive integers less than 1,000,000 that are not divisible by 6 or 4.
let n be the number of positive integers.
∴ 1≤n≤999,999
Let c₁ be the set of numbers divisible by 6 and c₂ be the set of numbers divisible by 4.
Let N(c₁) be the number of elements in set c₁ and N(c₂) be the number of elements in set c₂.

∴N(c₁) = $\frac{999,999}{6} = 166666$
N(c₂) = $\frac{999,999}{4} = 250000$
∴N(c₁c₂) = $\frac{999,999}{24} = 41667$
∴ Number of positive integers that are not divisible by 4 or 6,

N(c₁`c₂`) = 999,999 - (166666+250000) + 41667 = 625000
Therefore, 625000 integers are not divisible by 6 or 4

Both lines pass through the point (-3,-4). one has a slope of 4 and the other has a slope of -1/4

Alchen [17]

If the question is to find the slope-intercept form of both lines, here's the answer:
Both lines pass through the point (-3,-4), so we can use these coordinates in both equations. The slope-intercept form is represented by y=mx+b, with m the slope, b the intersection of the line with Y'Y for x=0, y and x the coordinates of a point.
Let's first apply all these for the first line, with a slope of 4.
y = mx + b
y=-3; x=-4; m=4. All we need to do is find b.
-3 = 4(-4) + b
-3 = -16 + b
b=13
So the equation of the first line is y= 4x + 13.

Now, we'll do the same thing but for the second line:
y=-3; x=-4; m=-1/4, and we need to find b.
-3 = (-1/4)(-4) + b
-3 = 1 + b
b= -4
So the equation of the second line is y=(-1/4)x - 4

Hope this Helps! :)

At Friday's football game, 1,294 tickets were sold for a total amount of $8,816.00. If each student ticket costs $5.00, and each

NeTakaya

Answer:

512 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be number of student tickets and y be number of adult tickets.

We have been given that at Friday's football game 1,294 tickets were sold. We can represent this information as:

$x+y=1294...(1)$

We are also told that each student ticket costs $5.00, and each adult ticket costs $8.00 and 1,294 tickets were sold for a total amount of $8,816. We can represent this information as:

$5x+8y=8,816...(2)$
