Answer:
(a)There are 500 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 2.
There are 111 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 9.
(b)0.611
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the set of Integers from 1 through 1000
The least multiple of 2 is 2 and the highest multiple of 2 in the interval is 1000.
To determine the number of terms, we use the formula for the nth term of an Arithmetic Progression, since 2,4,6,... is an Arithmetic Progression,
where first term, a =2, common difference, d =2
Nth term of an A.P,
- There are 500 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 2.
Similarly,
Given the set of Integers from 1 through 1000
The least multiple of 9 is 9 and the highest multiple of 9 in the interval is 999.
To determine the number of terms, we use the formula for the nth term of an Arithmetic Progression, since 9,18,27,... is an Arithmetic Progression,
where first term, a =9, common difference, d =9
Nth term of an A.P,
- There are 111 integers from 1 through 1,000 are multiples of 9.
(b)Probability that an integer selected at random is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 9.
There are a total of 1000 numbers between from 1 through 1,000
n(S)=1000
n(Multiples of 2)=500
n(Multiples of 9)=111
Therefore:
First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like:
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x =
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test:
x <
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval.
1. For the interval x <
Let's pick x - 0. Then,
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.
2. For the interval
Let's pick x = 2. Then,
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.
3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then,
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x <
Answer: x <
