Answer:

a. closed under addition and multiplication

b. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication.

c. not closed under addition and multiplication

d. closed under addition and multiplication

e. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let A be a set of all integers divisible by 5.

Let x,y∈A such that x=5m\,,\,y=5n

Find x+y,xy

x+y=5m+5n=5(m+n)

So, x+y is divisible by 5.

xy=(5m)(5n)=25mn=5(5mn)

So,

xy is divisible by 5.

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

b.

Let  A = { 2n +1 | n ∈ Z}

Let x,y∈A such that x=2m+1\,,\,y=2n+1 where m, n ∈ Z.

Find x+y,xy

x+y=2m+1+2n+1=2m+2n+2=2(m+n+1)

So,

x+y ∉ A

xy=(2m+1)(2n+1)=4mn+2m+2n+1=2(2mn+m+n)+1

So,

xy∈ A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.

c.

Let A=\{2,5,8,11,14,...\}

Let x=2,y=5 but x+y=2+5=7∉A

Also,

xy=2(5)=10∉A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition and multiplication.

d.

Let A = { 17n: n∈Z}

Let x,y ∈ A such that x=17n,y=17m

Find x + y and xy

x+y=17n+17m=17(n+m)

xy=(17m)(17n)=289mn=17(17mn)

So,

x+y,xy ∈ A

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

e.

Let A be the set of nonzero real numbers.

Let x,y ∈ A such that x=-1,y=1

Find x + y

x+y=-1+1=0

So,

x+y ∈ A

Also, if x and y are two nonzero real numbers then xy is also a non-zero real number.

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.

Below are the solutions for a variable "x." State the solution that matches the graph below.
Aloiza [94]
We have a number line as indicated in the figure above. From this figure we know that the <em>x-values</em> <em>increase f</em><em>rom left to right</em>. So we need to write the solution<span> that matches the previous graph. Taking a look on the graph we see that x begins in -3 and closes in 8, that is, x <em>takes values from -3 to 8</em>. In a mathematical language this is given by the following statement: 

</span>x \in [-3,8]<span>
