Answer:

a) Countably infinite

b) Countably infinite

c) Finite

d) Uncountable

e) Countably infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let S the set of integers grater than 10.

Consider the following correspondence:

f: S\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ defined by f(10+k)=k-1 for k\in\mathbb{Z}^+/\{0\}.

Let's see that the function is one-to-one.

Suppose that f(10+k)=f(10+j) for k≠j. Then k-1=j-1. Thus k-j=1-1=0. Then k=j. This implies that 10+k=10+j. Then the correspondence is injective.

b) Let S the set of odd negative integers

Consider the following correspondence:

f: S\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ defined by f(-(2k+1))=k.

Let's see that the function is one-to-one.

Suppose that f(-(2k+1))=f(-(2j+1)) for k≠j. By definition, k=j. This implies that the correspondence is injective.

c) The integers with absolute value less than 1,000,000 are in the intervals A=(-1.000.000, 0) B=[0, 1.000.000). Then there is 998.000 integers in A that satisfies the condition and 999.000 integers in B that satifies the condition.

d) The set of real number between 0 and 2 is the interval (0,2) and you can prove that the interval (0,2) is equipotent to the reals. Then the set is uncountable.

e) Let S the set A×Z+ where A={2,3}

Consider the following correspondence:

f: S\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ defined by f(2,k)=2k, \;f(3,j)= 2j+1

Let's see that the function is one-to-one.

Consider three cases:

1. f(2,k)=f(2,j), then 2k=2j, thus k=j.

2. f(3,k)=f(3,j), then 2k+1=2j+1, then 2k=2j, thus k=j.

3.  f(2,k)=f(3,j), then 2k=2j+1. But this is impossible because 2k is an even number and 2j+1 is an odd number.

Then we conclude that the correspondence is one-to-one.

Solve this system of equations using the substitution method.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

x = 1.2

y = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y= -2x+9

2) 8x-3=y

Substitute y in equation 1 using y in equation 2.

8x - 3 = -2x + 9

+ 3 on both sides

8x = -2x + 12

+ 2x on both sides

10x = 12

x = 1.2

To find y, plug in x

8x - 3 = y

9.6 - 3 = y

6.6 = y

Hope this helps :)

A welder requires 18 hours to do a job. After the welder and an apprentice work on a job for 6 hours, the welder moves to anothe
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

the apprentice can complete the job in 30 hours by working alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of hours required to complete a job by welder = 18 hours

Number of hours welder work on job = 6 hours.

Number of hours required by apprentice to complete the job = 14 hours

We need to find Number of hours required to complete a job by apprentice alone.

Solution:

Let Number of hours required to complete a job by apprentice alone be 'a'.

Also let the job completed be = 1

Now we know that ;

Time required on job is equal to sum of Number of hours welder work on job and Number of hours required by apprentice to complete the job.

framing in equation form we get

Time required on job =  6+14 =20\ hrs

Now we can say that;

each has done a fraction of the work so we will add to two fraction as number of hours of work done by Total number of hours required to do the work to complete 1 job.

so we can frame the equation as;

\frac{6}{18}+\frac{20}{a}=1

By reducing the fraction we get;

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{20}{a}=1

Now we will make the denominator common to solve the fraction we get;

\frac{1\times a}{3\times a}+\frac{20\times3}{a\times3}=1\\\\\frac{a}{3a}+\frac{60}{3a}=1

Now denominators are same so we will solve the numerator we get;

\frac{a+60}{3a}=1

Multiplying both side by 3a we get;

\frac{a+60}{3a}\times3a=1\times 3a\\\\a+60=3a

Combining the like terms we get;

3a-a=60\\\\2a=60

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{60}{2}\\\\a=30\ hrs

Hence the apprentice can complete the job in 30 hours by working alone.
