Answer:

a) Empty set

b) $\{x : x \in N \text{ and } x < 13\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Roster form is a comma separated list form of set.

a) The set of natural numbers x that satisfy x + 4 = 1.

$x + 4 = 1\\x = -3 \notin N$

Thus, x is an empty set.

b) set-builder notation for the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}.

We use x to represent this set. Now x belongs to natural number and is less than equal to 12.

Thus, it can be written as:

$\{x : x \in N \text{ and } x < 13\}$

At the arcade, nick spent 203 tokens on videogames in seven days. each day he spent five more tokens than the previous day. how

Dafna11 [192]

Suppose nick spent x number of tokens on day 1

So he spent x + 5 on day 2

He spent x + 10 on day 3

He spent x + 15 on day 4

He spent x + 20 on day 5

On day 6 he spent x + 25

And on day 7 he spent x + 30

So in all he spent

x + x + 5 + x + 10 + x + 15 + x + 20 + x + 25 + x + 30

= 7x + 105

But total token spent = 203

7x + 105 = 203

Subtracting 105 from both sides

7x = 203 - 105

7x = 98

Dividing by 7 on both sides

x = 14

So on third day he spent x + 10

= 14 + 10

= 24 tokens

Tokens spent on day 3 = 24

At a certain time of the day, a tree that is x meters tall casts a shadow that is x-49 meters long. If the distance from the top

nikklg [1K]

The height of the tree is 60 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree be x. The tree casts a shadow of $x-49$ meters and the distance from the top of the tree to the end of the shadow is $x+1$ meters.

The sides of the triangle are attached in the image below:

Using pythagoras theorem,

$x^{2}+(x-49)^{2}=(x+1)^{2}$

Expanding, we get,

$2 x^{2}-98 x+2401=x^{2}+2 x+1$

$2 x^{2}-98 x+2400=x^{2}+2 x$

$2 x^{2}-100 x+2400=x^{2}$

$x^{2}-100 x+2400=0$

Solving the equation using the quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$ , we get,

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2400}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Simplifying, we have,

$x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{10000-9600}}{2}$

$x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{400}}{2}$

$x=\frac{100\pm{20}}{2}$

Thus,

$x=\frac{100+20}{2} \\x=\frac{120}{2} \\x=60$ and $x=\frac{100-20}{2} \\x=\frac{80}{2} \\x=40$

where the value $x=40$ is not possible because substituting the value $x=40$ in $x-49$ results in negative solution. Which is not possible.

Hence, the value of x is 60.

Thus, The height of the tree is 60 meters.
