Answer:3/28; Neither means NOT basketball AND not baseball

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Using set notation to answer the question,

Let U be universal set(total number of student)

B be those that play basketball

C be those that play baseball

BUC be those that plays either of the games

(BUC)' will them be those that play neither

BnC be those that plays both games

(U) = 28

n(B) = 5

n(C) = 21

Before we get the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball, we need to get BnC first

Using the formula

n(BUC)=n(B) + n(C) -n(BnC)...(1) and;

n(U)= n(BUC)+ n(BUC)'...(2)

n(BUC)= n(U) - n(BUC)'

n(BUC) = 28-5 = 23

Therefore using eqn 1,

23= 5+21-n(BnC)

23=26-n(BnC)

n(BnC)= 3

P{n(BnC)} = n(BnC)/n(U)= 3/28

b) Neither means NOT basketball AND not baseball i.e those that played NONE of the games.

Answer:

Even Function

Solution:

For an even function:

f(x) = f(-x)

For an odd function:

f(x) = -f(x)

Since f(-x) = f(x), the given function is an even function.

liq [111]

As we can notice the shape is a Pentagon. A Pentagon's angles should add up to 540. So we can use simple addition and subtraction to solve.

121 + 108 + 102 + 100 = 431

540 - 431 = 109

109 should be your answer
