4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x² + 24x - 50

factor out leading coefficient

y = -3(x² - 8x) - 50

complete the square

coefficient of the x term: -8

divide it in half: -4

square it: (-4)² = 4²

use 4² to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:

y = -3(x² - 8x + 4²) + 3(4²) - 50

y = -3(x-4)² - 2

Calculate the number of subsets and the number of proper subsets for the set.

arlik [135]

A set of n elements has 2ⁿ subsets. One of these subsets is the set itself, so this set would have 2ⁿ - 1 proper subsets.

The given set has 4 elements, so it has 2⁴ = 16 subsets and 2⁴ - 1 = 15 proper subsets.

Just to illustrate the claim, we have

• subsets of size 0 (1 of these):

{ } (empty set)

• subsets of size 1 (4 of these):

{1/6}, {1/7}, {1/8}, {1/9}

• subsets of size 2 (6 of these):

{1/6, 1/7}, {1/6, 1/8}, {1/6, 1/9}, {1/7, 1/8}, {1/7, 1/9}, {1/8, 1/9}

• subsets of size 3 (4 of these):

{1/6, 1/7, 1/8}, {1/6, 1/7, 1/9}, {1/6, 1/8, 1/9}, {1/7, 1/8, 1/9}

• subsets of size 4 (1 of these):

{1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9}

and the last one is the only subset that is not a proper subset, because that subset = the set.

If 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours, then approximately how long does it take 4 workers to paint the same room? Assume the

Olin [163]

It takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room

Solution:

Given that 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours

To find: Time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room

Assume the time needed to paint the room is inversely proportional to the number of worker

$time $ \propto \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}\\\\time =k \times \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}$

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours

Substitute number of workers = 3 and time = 2 hours

$time =k \times \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}\\\\2 = k \times \frac{1}{3}\\\\k = 6$

Therefore,

$\text {time}=6 \times \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}$

To find time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room, substitute number of workers = 4 in above expression

$time = 6 \times \frac{1}{4} = 1.5$

Thus it takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room
