Answer:

y=5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope. Use two ordered pairs from the table and plug them into the slope formula.

Let's use the pairs (1, 1) and (2,6).

Remember, the slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1.

Let 6 be y2, 1 be y1, 2 be x2 and 1 be x1.

6-1/2-1

This becomes 5/1, or simply 5.

2. Use one of the ordered pairs and the slope to put the equation in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is: y-y1=m(x-x1), with m being the slope, y1 being the y-value in one of the points and x1 being the corresponding x-value.

Let's use the ordered pair (1,1) for this. But, if you used (2,6) you would still get the same answer.

y-1=5(x-1)

3. Finally, convert point-slope to slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b with mx being slope and b being the y-intercept.

To convert the point-slope form of the equation to y=mx+b, distribute (or multiply) to x - 1. Then, add 1 to both sides.

Distribute:

y-1=5x-5 (5 times x is 5x and 5 times -1 is -5)

Add 1 to both sides:

y=5x-4

What is the equation of the line whose graph is parallel to the graph of y=3x-10

TEA [102]

Hello,

y=3x+b is parallele to y=3x-10
In order to determine b, we must know something else.

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.
