Answer:

(a) Number of sets B given that

  • A⊆B⊆C: 2¹⁰.  (That is: A is a subset of B, B is a subset of C. B might be equal to C)
  • A⊂B⊂C: 2¹⁰ - 2.  (That is: A is a proper subset of B, B is a proper subset of C. B≠C)

(b) Number of sets B given that set A and set B are disjoint, and that set B is a subset of set X: 2²⁰ - 2¹⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

Let x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{20} denote the 20 elements of set X.

Let x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{10} denote elements of set X that are also part of set A.

For set A to be a subset of set B, each element in set A must also be present in set B. In other words, set B should also contain x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{10}.

For set B to be a subset of set C, all elements of set B also need to be in set C. In other words, all the elements of set B should come from x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{20}.

\begin{array}{c|cccccccc}\text{Members of X} & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_{10} & x_{11} & \cdots & x_{20}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set A?} & \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{No} & \cdots & \text{No}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set B?}&  \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{Maybe} & \cdots & \text{Maybe}\end{array}.

For each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus 2^{10} = 1024 possibilities for set B.

In case the question connected set A and B, and set B and C using the symbol ⊂ (proper subset of) instead of ⊆, A ≠ B and B ≠ C. Two possibilities will need to be eliminated: B contains all ten "maybe" elements or B contains none of the ten "maybe" elements. That leaves 2^{10} -2 = 1024 - 2 = 1022 possibilities.

<h3>(b)</h3>

Set A and set B are disjoint if none of the elements in set A are also in set B, and none of the elements in set B are in set A.

Start by considering the case when set A and set B are indeed disjoint.

\begin{array}{c|cccccccc}\text{Members of X} & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_{10} & x_{11} & \cdots & x_{20}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set A?} & \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{No} & \cdots & \text{No}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set B?}&  \text{No}&\text{No}&\cdots &\text{No}& \text{Maybe} & \cdots & \text{Maybe}\end{array}.

Set B might be an empty set. Once again, for each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus 2^{10} = 1024 possibilities for a set B that is disjoint with set A.

There are 20 elements in X so that's 2^{20} = 1048576 possibilities for B ⊆ X if there's no restriction on B. However, since B cannot be disjoint with set A, there's only 2^{20} - 2^{10} possibilities left.

Match the pairs of equations that represent concentric circles. Tiles
Darina [25.2K]
I will explain you and pair two of the equations as an example to you. Then, you must pair the others.

1) Two circles are concentric if they have the same center and different radii.

2) The equation of a circle with center xc, yc, and radius r is:

(x - xc)^2 + (y - yc)^2 = r^2.

So, if you have that equation you can inmediately tell the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle.

3) You can transform the equations given in your picture to the form (x -xc)^2 + (y -yc)^2 = r2 by completing squares.

Example:

Equation: 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 12x - 6y - 21 = 0

rearrange: 3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 - 6y = 21

extract common factor 3: 3 (x^2 + 4x) + 3(y^2 -2y) = 3*7

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 7

complete squares: (x + 2)^2 - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 7

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 12 => center = (-2,1), r = √12.

equation: 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 16x - 8y - 308 = 0

rearrange: 4x^2 + 16x + 4y^2 - 8y = 308

common factor 4: 4 (x^2 + 4x) + 4(y^2 -8y) = 4*77

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 77

complete squares: (x + 2)^2  - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 77

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 82 => center = (-2,1), r = √82

Therefore, you conclude that these two circumferences have the same center and differet r, so they are concentric.

Find the slope of the function f ( x ) = 5x/2 + 3, by the definition of limit. Express answer as a fraction using the "/" key as
musickatia [10]

\huge{\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}}

Slope-intercept form is f(x)=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

\frac{5x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}x, so change the equation to represent this. f(x)=\frac{5}{2}x+3

Great! Now the function is in slope-intercept form, so we can just see that m, or the slope, is equal to \boxed{\frac{5}{2}}

For what value of x is this equation true? 10x−2(x+6)=52 10x−2(x+6)=52 A x=5 x=5 B x=5 3 4 x=534 C x=7 1 9 x=719 D x=8 x=8For wh
insens350 [35]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

10x - 2 (x + 6) = 52

Let X become 8

10 (8) - 2 (8 + 6) = 52

80 - 2 (14) = 52

80 - 28 = 52

52=52
