(8.4, 8.4) or \left(\frac{42}{5}, \frac{42}{5}\right)

Explanation:

Given points are A(2, 6) and B(18, 12).

Let P(x, y) partitions the line segment in the ratio 2 : 3.

That is AP : PB = 2 : 3.

A(2, 6) can be taken as A(x_1, y_1).

B(18, 12) can be taken as B(x_2, y_2).

AP : PB can be taken as m : n = 2 : 3.

The coordinate of point P(x, y) divides line segment joining A(x_1, y_1)and B(x_2, y_2) in ratio m : n is

P(x,y)=(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

Here, x_1 = 2, x_2=18, y_1=6, y_2=12 and m = 2, n = 3.

Substitute these in the above formula, we get

P\left(x, y\right)=\left(\frac{2 \times 18+3 \times 2}{2+3}, \frac{2 \times12+3 \times 6}{2+3}\right)

           =\left(\frac{36+6}{5}, \frac{24+18}{5}\right)

           =\left(\frac{42}{5}, \frac{42}{5}\right)

           = (8.4, 8.4)

Hence, the point partitions the line segment is (8.4, 8.4) or \left(\frac{42}{5}, \frac{42}{5}\right).

Suppose that X is a subset of Y. Let p be the proposition ‘x is an element ofX’ and let q be the proposition ‘x is an element of
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement ‘x is an element of Y \X’ means, by definition of set difference, that "x is and element of Y and x is not an element of X", WIth the propositions given, we can rewrite this as "p∧¬q". Let us prove the identities given using the definitions of intersection, union, difference and complement. We will prove them by showing that the sets in both sides of the equation have the same elements.

i) x∈AnB  if and only (if and only if means that both implications hold) x∈A and x∈B if and only if x∈A and x∉B^c (because B^c is the set of all elements that do not belong to X) if and only if x∈A\B^c. Then, if x∈AnB  then x∈A\B^c, and if x∈A\B^c then x∈AnB. Thus both sets are equal.

ii) (I will abbreviate "if and only if" as "iff")

x∈A∪(B\A) iff x∈A or x∈B\A iff x∈A or x∈B and x∉A iff x∈A or x∈B (this is because if x∈B and x∈A then x∈A, so no elements are lost when we forget about the condition x∉A) iff x∈A∪B.

iii) x∈A\(B U C) iff x∈A and x∉B∪C iff x∈A and x∉B and x∉C (if x∈B or x∈C then x∈B∪C thus we cannot have any of those two options). iff x∈A and x∉B and x∈A and x∉C iff x∈(A\B) and x∈(A\B) iff x∈ (A\B) n (A\C).

iv) x∈A\(B ∩ C) iff x∈A and x∉B∩C iff x∈A and x∉B or x∉C (if x∈B and x∈C then x∈B∩C thus one of these two must be false) iff x∈A and x∉B or x∈A and x∉C iff x∈(A\B) or x∈(A\B) iff x∈ (A\B) ∪ (A\C).
