Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is see which two lengths of EF and FG equals EG which is 23. If you add together B's options you get -12 and if you add C's options, you get 77. So that leaves us with the options of A and D. From there, just plug in each value of x and see which one gets you the right values. Hope this helps

your friend says that the volume of a sphere with a radius r is four times the volume of a cone with radius r. when is this true

Ierofanga [76]

Volume of a sphere is given by the formula: $V_{\circ}=\frac43\pi r^3$

If we pull the 4 out front we have, $V_{\circ}=4\left(\frac13\pi r^3\right)$ .

Volume of a cone is given by the formula: $V_{\triangle}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2\cdot h$

Notice that if the height of the cone is equal to the radius, $V_{\triangle}=\frac13\pi r^2\cdot r$

then it's exactly what we see in our volume formula without the 4!

Let X be a set of size 20 and A CX be of size 10. (a) How many sets B are there that satisfy A Ç B Ç X? (b) How many sets B are

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

(a) Number of sets B given that

A⊆B⊆C: 2¹⁰. (That is: A is a subset of B, B is a subset of C. B might be equal to C)
A⊂B⊂C: 2¹⁰ - 2. (That is: A is a proper subset of B, B is a proper subset of C. B≠C)

(b) Number of sets B given that set A and set B are disjoint, and that set B is a subset of set X: 2²⁰ - 2¹⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{20}$ denote the 20 elements of set X.

Let $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{10}$ denote elements of set X that are also part of set A.

For set A to be a subset of set B, each element in set A must also be present in set B. In other words, set B should also contain $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{10}$ .

For set B to be a subset of set C, all elements of set B also need to be in set C. In other words, all the elements of set B should come from $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{20}$ .

$\begin{array}{c|cccccccc}\text{Members of X} & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_{10} & x_{11} & \cdots & x_{20}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set A?} & \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{No} & \cdots & \text{No}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set B?}& \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{Maybe} & \cdots & \text{Maybe}\end{array}$ .

For each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus $2^{10} = 1024$ possibilities for set B.

In case the question connected set A and B, and set B and C using the symbol ⊂ (proper subset of) instead of ⊆, A ≠ B and B ≠ C. Two possibilities will need to be eliminated: B contains all ten "maybe" elements or B contains none of the ten "maybe" elements. That leaves $2^{10} -2 = 1024 - 2 = 1022$ possibilities.

Set A and set B are disjoint if none of the elements in set A are also in set B, and none of the elements in set B are in set A.

Start by considering the case when set A and set B are indeed disjoint.

$\begin{array}{c|cccccccc}\text{Members of X} & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_{10} & x_{11} & \cdots & x_{20}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set A?} & \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{No} & \cdots & \text{No}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set B?}& \text{No}&\text{No}&\cdots &\text{No}& \text{Maybe} & \cdots & \text{Maybe}\end{array}$ .

Set B might be an empty set. Once again, for each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus $2^{10} = 1024$ possibilities for a set B that is disjoint with set A.

There are 20 elements in X so that's $2^{20} = 1048576$ possibilities for B ⊆ X if there's no restriction on B. However, since B cannot be disjoint with set A, there's only $2^{20} - 2^{10}$ possibilities left.
