X^2-y^2=55
this means that 
(x+y)(x-y)=55
we know that x-y=11 so we can write
(x+y)(11)=55
x+y=55/11 we divide by 11 and we obtain 
x+y=5

x-y=11 this means
x=y+11 we replace in the other equation (x+y=5)

y+11+y=5
2y=5-11
2y=-6
y=-3
and you find out that also 
x=8

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 15% of its goblets havecosmetic flaws, while the remaining 85% a
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The probability that exactly two have flaws is P (x=2) = 0.2376

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

Success= p= 0.15

Failure = q= 0.85

total number= n= 8

Number chosen = x= 2

Applying the binomial distribution

P (x=x) = nCx p^x(q)^n-x

P (x=2) = 8C2 0.15 ²(0.85)^8

P (x=2) = 0.2376

The success is chosen about which we want to find the probability. Here we want to find the probability that exactly two have flaws so success would be having flaws therefore p = 0.15

Given a function I and a subset A of its domain, let I(A) represent the range of lover the set A; that is, I(A) = {I(x) : x E A}
Ede4ka [16]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Using the definition given from the problem

f(A) = \{x^2  \, : \, x \in [0,2]\} = [0,4]\\f(B) = \{x^2  \, : \, x \in [1,4]\} = [1,16]\\f(A) \cap f(B) = [1,4]  = f(A \cap B)\\

Therefore it is true for intersection. Now for union, we have that

A \cup B = [0,4]\\f(A\cup B ) = [0,16]\\f(A) = [0,4]\\f(B)= [1,16]\\f(A) \cup f(B) = [0,16]

Therefore, for this case, it would be true that f(A\cup B) = f(A)\cup f(B).

(b)

1 is not a set.

(c)

To begin with  

A\cap B \subset A,B

Therefore

g(A\cap B) \subset g(A) \cap g(B)

Now, given an element of g(A) \cap g(B) it will belong to both sets, therefore it also belongs to g(A\cap B), and you would have that

g(A)\cap g(B) \subset  g(A \cap B), therefore  g(A)\cap g(B)  =  g(A \cap B).

(d)

To begin with A,B  \subset A \cup B, therefore

g(A) \cup g(b) \subset g(A\cup B)
