Answer:

Since, the function has been proven to be both surjective and injective, it is therefore said to be bijective and as such the question has been proved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the set of subsets of [n] that consists of an even number of elements, and let B be the set of subsets of [n] that consists of an odd number of elements.

Let's establish a bijection from A to B.

First of all,we have to establish a function that is both surjective and injective so that it is bijective.

Let the function be "f"

To prove the "f" is injective, let A1 and A2 be two subsets and consider f(A1)=f(A2)

From that, we get 2 options;

Either; A1 - {n} =f(A1) = f(A2) = A2 - {n}

Or AI u {n} =f(A1) = f(A2) = A2 u {n}

In both cases above, we can conclude that A1 = A2 and therefore, "f" is injective.

To prove that "f" is surjective, let B be an element of the range of "f" (a subset of odd size).

If B contains "n", then B−{n} is a subset of even size that maps to B under "f". Also, if B does not contain n, then B u {n} is a subset of even size that maps to B under "f".

Since everything in the image has something in the domain that maps to it, we can say that "f" is surjective.

Since, the function has been proven to be both surjective and injective, it is therefore said to be bijective and as such the question has been proved.

Kevin hiked up lambs Canyon and two hours and then ran back down in one hour has been running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than
coldgirl [10]

Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.

His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8

Distance = speed × time

Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x

He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =

x + 2.8

Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then

2x = x + 2.8

2x - x = 2.8

x = 2.8

Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is

2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles

7978 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A02^(-t/hl)

where hl = half-life.

Dividing both sides by A0 and taking the logarithm, we get

ln(A/A0) = -(t/hl)ln2

or solving for t,

t= -(hl)ln(A/A0)/ln2

note that A/A0 = 0.38

t = -(5715 yrs)[ln(0.38)/ln2]

= 7978 years
