How many elements does each of these sets have where a and b are distinct elements?

Mathematics
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a) 8

b) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We note that the first set contains three elements: a, b, and {a,b}.

The power set of {a, b, {a,b}} contains all possible elements of {a, b, {a,b}}.

For each element, we have 2 options: the element is either in the subset or the element is not in the subsets. The number of possible subsets is then equal to product the of the number of options for each element.

                                    P({a,b,{a,b}}) = 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 3 = 8

b) We note that the second set contains four elements: ?, a, {a} and {{a}}.

The power set of {?, a, {a}, {{a}}} contains all possible elements of {?, a, {a}, {{a}}}.

For each element, we have 2 options: the element is either in the subset or the element is not in the subsets. The number of possible subsets is then equal to product the of the number of options for each element.

                              P({?, a, {a}, {{a}}}) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 4 = 16

For A (1, –1), B (–1, 3), and C (4, –1), find a possible location of a fourth point, D, so that a parallelogram is formed using
katrin [286]

The possible coordinates for the vertex D of the parallelogram could be (-4, 3)

It is given that A(1, –1), B (–1, 3), and C (4, –1) are the three vertices of the parallelogram.

Let us assume that the vertices are in the order A, C, B, and D where the coordinates of D are (a, b).

In this scenario, if we join AB and CD, they will become the diagonals of the parallelogram ABCD.

According to the properties of a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.

Hence, mid-point of AB = mid-point of CD

Now, according to the mid-point theorem, if mid-point of AB is given as (x,y), then,

x = (x₁ + x₂)/2 and y = (y₁ + y₂)/2

Here, for AC,

x₁ = 1, y₁ = -1

x₂ = -1, y₂ = 3

Then, x = ( 1 - 1)/2 and y = (-1 + 3)/2

(x, y) ≡ (0, 1)  ............. (1)

Since (x, y) is also the mid-point of CD, we also have,

x₁ = 4, y₁ = -1

x₂ = a, y₂ = b

Then, x = (4 + a)/2 and y = (-1 + b)/2

(x, y) ≡ ((4 + a)/2, (-1 + b)/2) ................... (2)

From (1) and (2),

(4+a)/2 = 0 and (-1+b)/2 = 1

4+a = 0 and (-1+b) = 2

a = -4 and b = 3

Hence, the fourth vertex D of the parallelogram can be possibly located at (-4, 3)
