Answer:

To remedy confusions like yours and to avoid the needless case analyses, I prefer to define X to be countable if there is a surjection from N to X.

This definition is equivalent to a few of the many definitions of countability, so we are not losing any generality.

It is a matter of convention whether we allow finite sets to be countable or not (though, amusingly, finite sets are the only ones whose elements you could ever finish counting).

So, if A and B be countable, let f:N→A and g:N→B be surjections. Then the two sequences (f(n):n⩾1)=(f(1),f(2),f(3),…) and (g(n):n⩾1)=(g(1),g(2),g(3),…) eventually cover all of A and B, respectively; we can interleave them to create a sequence that will surely cover A∪B:

(h(n):n⩾1):=(f(1),g(1),f(2),g(2),f(3),g(3),…).

An explicit formula for h is h(n)=f((n+1)/2) if n is odd, and h(n)=g(n/2) if n is even.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A and B are two countable sets

We have to show that if A and B are countable then A\cup B is countable.

Countable means finite set or countably infinite.

Case 1: If A and B are two finite sets

Suppose A={1} and B={2}

A\cup B={1,2}=Finite=Countable

Hence, A\cup B is countable.

Case 2: If A finite and B is countably infinite

Suppose, A={1,2,3}

B=N={1,2,3,...}

Then, A\cup B={1,2,3,....}=N

Hence,A\cup B is countable.

Case 3:If A is countably infinite and B is finite set.

Suppose , A=Z={..,-2,-1,0,1,2,....}

B={-2,-3}

A\cup B=Z=Countable

Hence, A\cup B countable.

Case 4:If A and B are both countably infinite sets.

Suppose A=N and B=Z

Then,A\cup B=N\cup Z=Z

Hence,A\cup B is countable.

Therefore, if A and B are countable sets, then A\cup B is also countable.

Kelli and Karl each have a job. Kelli earns $20 an hour. She also receives a $100 weekly bonus. 
ad-work [718]
Equation for Kelli's earning = 20x + 100
Equation for Karl's earning = 25x + 50

Now, 20x +100 = 25x +50
25x-20x = 100-50
5x = 50
x = 10

So, your answer is 10 hours.

Hope this helps!

Find the slope and y-intercept of -x + 2y = 3. I need help on working this problem out​
natita [175]

Answer:

So the slope of this function is \frac{1}{2} and the y-intercept is \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

A first order function has the following format:

y = ax + b

In which a is the slope and b is the y-intercept, that is, the value of y when x = 0.

We have the following equation:

-x + 2y = 3

We just have to rewrite this equation

2y = x + 3

y = \frac{x+3}{2}

y = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{2}

Which means that

a = \frac{1}{2}, b = \frac{3}{2}

So the slope of this function is \frac{1}{2} and the y-intercept is \frac{3}{2}

Suppose you choose a marble from a bag containing 3 red marbles. 3 white marbles, and 5 blue marbles. You return the first marbl
Flauer [41]

Answer:

15/121.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of picking a red = number of reds in the bag / total number of marbles in the bag

= 3 / (3 + 3 + 5)

= 3/11.

Probability of picking a blue = 5/11.

These 2 events are independent so we multiply probabilities, therefore the

Probability of (a red then a blue) = 3/11 * 5 /11

= 15/121.
