Answer:

XY = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of midpoint, XM would be equal to MY, so we can set both equations equal to each other;

XM = MY

8 - t = 5t - 10

=> Now add "t" to both sides of "="

8 = 6t - 10

=> add 10 from each side;

18 = 6t

=> Finally divide 6 on each side

3 = t

Now that we have the value for t, we can substitute 3 in place of "t" in any of the equation above and solve, when we have the answer, multiply it by 2 to get the value for XY.

=> 8 - 3

=> 5

=> XY = 5 * 2

=> <u>XY = 10</u>

Hope this helps!

<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 large prints
12 small prints

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Numerical Reasoning</em>

Consider a set of prints that consists of 2 small prints and one large print (that is, twice as many small prints as large). The value of that set will be ...

... 2×$20 +45 = $85

To have revenue of at least $510, the studio must sell ...

... $510/$85 = 6

sets of prints. That is, the studio needs to sell at least 6 large prints and 12 small ones.

_____

<em>With an equation</em>

Let x represent the number of large prints the studio needs to sell. Then 2x will represent the number of small prints. Total sales will be ...

... 20·2x +45·x ≥ 510

... 85x ≥ 510

... x ≥ 510/85

... x ≥ 6

The studio needs to sell at least 6 large prints and 12 small prints.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement is ‘‘if and only if’’ we need to prove two implications

$f : X \rightarrow Y$ is surjective implies there exists a function $h : Y \rightarrow X$ such that $f\circ h = 1_Y$ .
If there exists a function $h : Y \rightarrow X$ such that $f\circ h = 1_Y$ , then $f : X \rightarrow Y$ is surjective

Let us start by the first implication.

Our hypothesis is that the function $f : X \rightarrow Y$ is surjective. From this we know that for every $y\in Y$ there exist, at least, one $x\in X$ such that $y=f(x)$ .

Now, define the sets $X_y = \{x\in X: y=f(x)\}$ . Notice that the set $X_y$ is the pre-image of the element $y$ . Also, from the fact that $f$ is a function we deduce that $X_{y_1}\cap X_{y_2}=\emptyset$ , and because $f$ the sets $X_y$ are no empty.

From each set $X_y$ choose only one element $x_y$ , and notice that $f(x_y)=y$ .

So, we can define the function $h:Y\rightarrow X$ as $h(y)=x_y$ . It is no difficult to conclude that $f\circ h(y) = f(x_y)=y$ . With this we have that $f\circ h=1_Y$ , and the prove is complete.

Now, let us prove the second implication.

We have that there exists a function $h:Y\rightarrow X$ such that $f\circ h=1_Y$ .

Take an element $y\in Y$ , then $f\circ h(y)=y$ . Now, write $x=h(y)$ and notice that $x\in X$ . Also, with this we have that $f(x)=y$ .

So, for every element $y\in Y$ we have found that an element $x\in X$ (recall that $x=h(y)$ ) such that $y=f(x)$ , which is equivalent to the fact that $f$ is surjective. Therefore, the prove is complete.

Find the value of x.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the given angles and equate to 180

55 + 4x - 5 + x = 180, that is

50 + 5x = 180 ( subtract 50 from both sides )

5x = 130 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 26
