Which set is closed under subtractionWhich answer choice shows that the set of irrational numbers is not closed under addition

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

(a) Set of rational numbers

(b) $\pi + (-\pi) = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): Set that is closed under subtraction

The solution to this is rational numbers.

For a set of number to be closed under subtraction, the following condition must be true

$a -b = c$

Where

a, b, c are of the same set.

The above is only true for rational numbers.

e.g.

$1 - 2 = -1$

$5 - 5 = 0$

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

$4 - 2 = 2$

The operations and the result in the above samples are rational numbers.

Solving (b): Choice not close under addition[See attachment for options]

As stated in (a)

For a set of number to be closed under subtraction, the following condition must be true

$a -b = c$

Where

a, b, c are of the same set.

In the given options (a) to (d), only

$\pi + (-\pi) = 0$ is not close under addition because:

$\pi$ is irrational while $0$ is rational

<em>In other words, they belong to different set</em>

Show another way to write 100 more than 623

____ [38]

There are many ways, but here is one:

x = 100

Since ‘x’ is 100 and we want 100 more, we just need to add ‘x’ to 623

Answer: x + 623 (Make sure you define your ‘x’ value)

A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)ekt, where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a ne

velikii [3]

Answer:

M = 1/0.000121 = 8264.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

M = − k ∫∞₀ teᵏᵗdt

To obtain this mean life, we'll use integration by parts to integrate the function ∫ teᵏᵗdt

∫udv = uv - ∫ vdu

u = t

du/dt = 1

du = dt

∫ dv = ∫ eᵏᵗdt

v = eᵏᵗ/k

∫udv = ∫ teᵏᵗdt

uv = teᵏᵗ/k

∫ vdu = eᵏᵗ/k

∫ teᵏᵗdt = (teᵏᵗ/k) - ∫eᵏᵗ/k

But, ∫eᵏᵗ/k = (1/k) ∫eᵏᵗ = (1/k²) eᵏᵗ = eᵏᵗ/k²

∫ teᵏᵗdt = (teᵏᵗ/k) - eᵏᵗ/k²

The rest of the calculation is done on paper in the image attached to this question
