5/8 is greater than 5/16

Hope this helps

Use the definitions for the sets given below to determine whether each statement is true or false:

ella [17]

Answer:

(a) false

(b) true

(d) true

(e) false

(f) true

(g) false

(h) true

(i) true

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 15 ⊂ A, since 15 is not a set, but an element, we cannot say of an element to be subset of a set. False

(b) {15} ⊂ A The subset {15} is a subset of A, since every element of {15}, that is 15, belongs to A.

15 ∈ {15} and 15 ∈ { x ∈ Z: x is an integer multiple of 3 } 15 is an integer multiple of 3. since 15/3=5. True

(c)∅ ⊂ A

∅ is a subset of any set. True

(d) A ⊆ A

A is a subset of itself. True

(e)∅ ∈ B

∅ is not an element, it is a subset, so it does not belong to any set. False

(f)A is an infinite set.

Yes, there are infinite integers multiple of 3. True

(g)B is a finite set.

No, there are infinite integers that are perfect squares. False

(h)|E| = 3

The number of elements that belong to E are 3. True

(i)|E| = |F|

The number of elements that belong to F are 3. So is the number of elements of E. True

To purchase $12,900 worth of machinery for her business, Melissa made a down payment of $2100 and took out a business loan for t

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) $13588.08

b) $688.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa had to purchase $12,900 worth of machinery for her business.

She made a down payment of $2100 and after that made monthly payments of $478.67 for the business loan for the rest.

Given that after years of paying monthly payments of $478.67, she finally paid off the loan.

Assume that she took 2 years to repay the loan.

a) Therefore, the total amount Melissa ended up paying for the machinery was $[2100 + (478.67 × 24)] = $13588.08 (Answer)

b) Therefore, the amount of interest that Melissa pay on the loan is $(13588.08 - 12900) =$688.08. (Answer)

Use the Euclidean Algorithm to compute the greatest common divisors indicated. (a) gcd(20, 12) (b) gcd(100, 36) (c) gcd(207, 496

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

(a) $gcd(20, 12)=4$

(b) $gcd(100, 36)=4$

(c) $gcd(496,207 )=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Euclidean algorithm is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers, without explicitly factoring the two integers.

The Euclidean algorithm solves the problem:

Given integers $a, b$ , find $d=gcd(a,b)$

Here is an outline of the steps:

Let $a=x$ , $b=y$ .
Given $x, y$ , use the division algorithm to write $x=yq+r$ .
If $r=0$ , stop and output $y$ ; this is the gcd of $a, b$ .
If $r\neq 0$ , replace $(x,y)$ by $(y,r)$ . Go to step 2.

The division algorithm is an algorithm in which given 2 integers N and D, it computes their quotient Q and remainder R.

Let's say we have to divide N (dividend) by D (divisor). We will take the following steps:

Step 1: Subtract D from N repeatedly.

Step 2: The resulting number is known as the remainder R, and the number of times that D is subtracted is called the quotient Q.

(a) To find $gcd(20, 12)$ we apply the Euclidean algorithm:

$20 = 12\cdot 1 + 8\\ 12 = 8\cdot 1 + 4\\ 8 = 4\cdot 2 + 0$

The process stops since we reached 0, and we obtain $gcd(20, 12)=4$ .

(b) To find $gcd(100, 36)$ we apply the Euclidean algorithm:

$100 = 36\cdot 2 + 28\\ 36 = 28\cdot1 + 8\\ 28 = 8\cdot 3 + 4\\ 8 = 4\cdot 2 + 0$

The process stops since we reached 0, and we obtain $gcd(100, 36)=4$ .

(c) To find $gcd(496,207 )$ we apply the Euclidean algorithm:

$496 = 207\cdot 2 + 82\\ 207 = 82\cdot 2 + 43\\ 82 = 43\cdot 1 + 39\\ 43 = 39\cdot 1 + 4\\ 39 = 4\cdot 9 + 3\\ 4 = 3\cdot 1 + 1\\ 3 = 1\cdot 3 + 0$

The process stops since we reached 0, and we obtain $gcd(496,207 )=1$ .
