Solve each prportion. (2/y-4)=(y+3/4)

Answer:

y = 5, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve proportions you cross-multiply.

\frac{2}{y-4} =\frac{y+3}{4} \rightarrow 2\times4 = (y-4)\times(y+3) \rightarrow 8=y^2-y-12

Now that we have 8 = y^2 - y - 12, we must make the entire trinomial equal to 0 by subtracting 8 from both sides.

y^2 - y - 20 = 0

Factor the trinomial.

(y - 5)(y + 4) = 0

Make both factors equal to 0 to solve for both values of y.

  • y - 5 = 0 --> y = 5
  • y + 4 = 0 --> y = -4

y = 5, -4

Here is a venn diagram:
wel

Answer:

a) (i) A∪B are 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17

(ii) A ∩ B are 14 and 17

b) The probability that a number chosen at random is in the set A' is 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (i) The numbers that are in the set A∪B are given as follows;

A∪B = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ B}

A∪B is the set of all elements "x" such that "x" is a member of A or B

Therefore, A∪B = (8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17)

(ii) A intersection B, written as , A∩B), is the set of elements belonging to both set A and set B

A∩B  = {x: x ∈ A and x ∈ B}

Therefore;

A ∩ B = 14 and 17

b) The set A' which is the complement of A are the elements in the universe which are not in A

The number of elements in the Venn diagram = 10 (numbers)

The number of elements in the set A' = 7

The probability that a number chosen at random is in the set A', P(A') is given as follows;

P(A') = (The number of elements in the set A')/(The number of elements in the Venn diagram)

∴ P(A') = 7/10 = 0.7
