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

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

The Miller family visited Mama's Kitchen and ordered 4 hamburgers and 3 medium fries and paid $18.69. James ordered a medium dri
sergij07 [2.7K]
To answer the question, let x be the cost of each hamburger, y be the cost of each medium fries, and z be the cost of each medium drink. The equations that are described in the problem are,
       (Miller )        4x + 3y = 18.69
       (James)       x + 2y + z = 8.66
       (Steven)      2x + y + z = 10.27
Solving simultaneously for the values of the variables give x = 3.36, y = 1.75, and z = 1.8. 
Thus, each hamburger costs $3.36. Each medium fries cost $1.75, and each drink costs $1.8.

If 32^2c= 8^c+7, what is the value of c
Leona [35]

\bf 32^{2c}=8^{c+7}~~ \begin{cases} 32=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \qquad 2^5\\ 8=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \qquad 2^3 \end{cases}\implies (2^5)^{2c}=(2^3)^{c+7} \\\\\\ 2^{5(2c)}=2^{3(c+7)}\implies \stackrel{\textit{if the bases are the same, then so are the exponents}}{5(2c)=3(c+7)\implies 10c=3c+21} \\\\\\ 7c=21\implies c=\cfrac{21}{7}\implies c=3
