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.

A cubic box is completely filled with 2,179 g of water. What is the length of one side of the box, in meters? m Explain your rea
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

l\approx 1.296\,cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The water density is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter, which means that 1 gram of water occupies a volume of a cubic centimeter. Hence, 2.179 grams occupies a volume of 2.179 cubic centimeters.

Let assume volume occupied by the water has a cube-like shape, whose side has the following measure:

l = \sqrt[3]{2.179\,m^{3}}

l\approx 1.296\,cm

Let f(x) = x2 − 16. find f−1(x). open study
Bogdan [553]
Okay, so first you make f(x) = y and switch x and y. So the equation becomes:

x = y^2 - 16

The next step is to get y by itself. So first you add 16 to both sides:

x + 16 = y^2

Now you square root everything, so the final answer is going to be:

the square root of x + 4 = y
