5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if they are Pythagorean triples they should check for the theorem

the biggest value 17/8 should be the hypothenuse

(17/8)² = 1² + (15/8)² ; square the numbers

289/ 64 = 1+ 225/ 64 ; find the common denominator for addition

289/ 64 = 64+ 225/ 64 ; add

289/ 64 = 289 /64 TRUE so they are Pythagorean Triples

Let A and B be sets with cardinal numbers , n(A) = a and n(B) = b respectively . Decide whether the statement is true or false.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

$A\cup B=A\cup(A-B)\\\\A\ and\ A-B\ are\ disjoint\ that\ means\ there\ is\ no\ common\ element\ in\ these\ two.\\\\n(A\cup B)=n(B\cup(A-B))\\\\n(A\cup B)=n(B)+n(A-B)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ for\ disjoint\ set\ P,Q\ n(P\cup Q)=n(P)+n(Q)\\\\(n(P-Q)=n(P)-n(P\cap Q))\\\\n(AUB)=n(B)+n(A-B)\\\\n(AUB)=n(B)+n(A)-n(A\cap B)\\\\n(AUB)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)\\\\Hence\ given\ statement\ is\ true$

In the accompanying diagram of parallelogram ABCD,diagonals AC and DB intersect at E, AE = 3x - 4, andEC = x + 12.What is the va

skelet666 [1.2K]

x = 8

Explanation:

AE = 3x - 4

EC = x + 12

SInce diagonals AC and DB intersect at E

it means the lines which meet at the intersection E are equal. A and C meet at E which gives AE and EC

AE = EC

3x - 4 = x + 12

collect like terms:

3x - x = 12 + 4

2x = 16

divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8
