If a, b and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle then

if a ≤ b ≤ c, then a + b > c.

1. a ≤ 3 ≤ 8 then a + 3 > 8 → a > 8 - 3 → a > 5 FALSE, because a ≤ 3.

2. 3 ≤ a ≤ 8 then 3 + a > 8 → a > 5 therefore 5 < a ≤ 8

3. 3 ≤ 8 ≤ a then 3 + 8 > a → 11 > a → a < 11 therefore 8 ≤ a < 11.

<h3>Answer: 5 < a < 11 → S = (5, 11)</h3>

If we take 1200 as the 100%, how much percentage is 700 of it?

well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
1200&100\\
700&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1200}{700}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{700\cdot 100}{1200}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{175}{3}$

so, (175/3)% or roughly 58.3%

now, how much is (175/3)% of 15000 ?
well, if we take 15000 as the 100%
then $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
15000&100\\
x&\frac{175}{3}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{15000}{x}=\cfrac{100}{\frac{175}{3}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15000\cdot \frac{175}{3}}{100}=x\implies \cfrac{5000\cdot 175}{100}=x$

Prove A-(BnC) = (A-B)U(A-C), explain with an example

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Prove set equality by showing that for any element $x$ , $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ if and only if $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ .

Example:

$A = \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace$ .

$B = \lbrace0,\, 1 \rbrace$ .

$C = \lbrace0,\, 2 \rbrace$ .

$\begin{aligned} & A \backslash (B \cap C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \backslash \lbrace 0 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& (A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 2,\, 3\rbrace \cup \lbrace 1,\, 3 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace\end{aligned}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof for $[x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))] \implies [x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))]$ for any element $x$ :

Assume that $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ . Thus, $x \in A$ and $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ .

Since $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ , either $x \not \in B$ or $x \not \in C$ (or both.)

If $x \not \in B$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash B)$ .
Similarly, if $x \not \in C$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash C)$ .

Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ as required.

Proof for $[x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))] \implies [x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))]$ :

Assume that $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ . Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

If $x \in (A \backslash B)$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in B$ . Notice that $(x \not \in B) \implies (x \not \in (B \cap C))$ since the contrapositive of that statement, $(x \in (B \cap C)) \implies (x \in B)$ , is true. Therefore, $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ and thus $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .
Otherwise, if $x \in A \backslash C$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in C$ . Similarly, $x \not \in C \!$ implies $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ . Therefore, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .
