A and B are bounded non-empty subsets of R. For inf(A) to be less than or equal to inf(B), which of the following conditions mus

t be met?
a) For every b in B and epsilon > 0, there exists a in A, such that a < b + epsilon.

b) There exists a in A, and b in B such that a < b.

If neither of these conditions are appropriate, what would be appropriate conditions for inf(A) to be less than or equal to inf(B)?

Answer:

a) must be met

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two conditions:

a) For every b\in B and \epsilon>0, there exists a\in A, such that a.

b) There exists a\in A and b\in B such that  a.

We will prove that conditon a) is equivalent to inf(A)\leq inf(B)

If a) is not satisfied, then it would exist b\in B and \epsilon >0 such that, for every a\in A, a\geq b+\epsilon. This implies that b+\epsilon is a lower bound for A and in consequence

inf(A)\geq b+\epsilon > b\geq inf(B)

Then, inf(A) \leq inf(B) implies a).

If inf(A) \leq inf(B) is not satisfied then, inf(A) > inf(B) and in consequence exists b\inB such that b-inf(A)=\epsilon >0. Then b-\epsilon=inf(A) and, for every a\in A,

b-\epsilon =inf(A)\leq a.

So, a) is not satisfied.

In conclusion, a) is equivalent to inf(A)\leq inf(B)

Finally, observe that condition b) is not an appropiate condition to determine if inf(A)\leq inf(B) or not. For example:

  • <u>A={0}, B={1}</u>. b) is satisfied and inf(A)=0
  • <u>A={0}. B={-1,1}</u>. b) is satisfied and inf(A)=0>-1=inf(B)

Can someone help me please?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle sum theorem *I think* is that for an n-sided shape, the total sum of its angles is 180(n-2).

The sum of a triangles' angles is 180 degrees.

Therefore 4v-44 = 180.

v - 11 = 45

v = 56 degrees

Note: always check if the answer makes sense

The area of a circle is 36/pi cm^2 What is the radius of the circle?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

the  radius of the circle is 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a circle is given to be  = 36πcm²

radius of the circle = ?

to find the radius of the circle lets start by applying  the formula for finding the area of a circle.

area of a circle = πr²

36πcm² = πr²

36π = πr²

divide both sides by π

36π/π = πr²/π

36 = r²

to get the value of r we are going to look for a way of getting rid of the square on "r" by squaring 36

r² = 36

r =√36

r = 6cm

therefore the  radius of the circle is 6cm

A sample of 2,000 people yielded P(hat) = .52. What is the variance of the population proportion?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

d. .00012 or 0.00012

Step-by-step explanation:

The variance of the population proportion formula is given as:

p(1 - p)/n

Where n = sample size

p = population proportion or p(hat)

n = 2000 people

p = 0.52

Variance of the population proportion = 0.52(1 - 0.52)/ 2000

= 0.52 × 0.48 /2000

= 0.2496 /2000

= 0.0001248

Therefore the Variance of the population proportion is approximately = 0.00012

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 15 miles per hour. what is this rate in miles per minute? how many miles will the cyclist
ryzh [129]

Answer:

15 miles/hour = 0.25 miles/minute

The cyclist would have traveled 5 miles in 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 miles per hour is written as

15 miles/hour

To convert 15 miles/hour to miles/minute

From 1 hour = 60 minutes

∴ 15 miles/hour = 15 miles/ 60 minutes

= (15/60) miles/minute

= 0.25 miles/minute

To calculate how many miles the cyclist will travel in 20 minutes

That is, Time, t = 20 minutes

Velocity, v = 15 miles/hour = 0.25 miles/minute

Distance, s = ??

From,

Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time}\\

∴Distance = Velocity × Time

Distance = 0.25 miles/minute × 20 minutes

Distance = 5 miles

Hence, The cyclist would have traveled 5 miles in 20 minutes.
