I'll do the first two to get you started


A)


To find A U B, simply combine the sets A and B to get

A U B = { 2, 3, 7, 9, 10}


Now to find the complement of A U B, just form a new set of elements that are in U, but NOT in A U B


So


(A U B)' = {1,4,5,6,8}







B)

To find A intersect C, just look for the elements that are in A AND in C


Since the element 10 is in both sets A and C, this means that


A intersect C = {10}

Three hundred and three million nine hundred and twenty seven thousand in scientific notation.
303,927,000 = 3.03927*10^8
------------------
To be grammatically correct, it's "three hundred three million, nine hundred twenty-seven thousand", no 'ands'

I can't make an arrow for "approaches" easy using 
the software here, so please interpret ''[x,infinity] 
as though it were xinfinity.


lim[x,infinity]((ln(x))^3/x^2) =

We need to get that exponent 3 outside the limit.
First get it outside the parentheses:

lim[x,infinity](matrix(4,1,ln(x),'--------','',x^(2/3)))^3 =

Then get it outside the limit:

(lim[x,infinity]( matrix(4,1,ln(x),'--------','',x^(2/3)) ))^3 =

Now with that 3 exponent outside the limit, we can use 
l'Hopital's rule on the inside without it:

(lim[x,infinity]( matrix(4,1,1/x,'--------','',(2/3)x^(-1/3)) ))^3 =

Multiply numerator and denominator both by 3x

(lim[x,infinity]( matrix(4,1,(1/x)(3x),'--------------','',(2/3)x^(-1/3)(3x)) ))^3 =

(lim[x,infinity]( matrix(4,1,3,'--------','',2x^(2/3)) ))^3=0^3=0

Why is the set of natural numbers an infinite set but the set of blades of grass outside your yard a finite set?
--------------
You can count the number of blades of grass and there will not
be any that are uncounted.
--------------------
If you try to count the natural numbers you may arrive at
what you call the "last number"; but there is always a number
one greater than that "last number", and another number
one greater than than, and another number one greater than
that, forever.

Answer by nabla(410) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve the auxiliaries for y first.
y<=24-3x
y<=33/2 -3x/2
Now, if y>=0,
24-3x >=0
33/2 - 3x/2 >=0
Moreover,
if x>=0,
-3x>=-24
-3x/2>=-33/2
Even further,
x<=8
x<=11
So the maximum of x will be 8.
Now,
y<=0 follows from the first condition with restriction x<=8. So the maximum of y will be 0.
Thus,
z=20x + 8y
z=20*11=220
Which is answer (a).

Answer by nerdybill(1279) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In this case, since they gave you a single point at (8,6), apply that point to each of the given equations:
a. 5x-3y=22
5(8)-3y=22
40-3y=22
-3y=-18
y = 6
.
b. 3/5x + 8/5
3/5(8) + 8/5
24/5 + 8/5
32/5 (Does NOT equal 6 -- toss it out)
.
c. 3x + 4y = 48
3(8) + 4y = 48
24 + 4y = 48
4y = 24
y = 6
.
d. -4x + 2y = -16
-4(8) + 2y = -16
-32 + 2y = -16
2y = 32
y = 16 (Does NOT equal 6 -- toss it out)
.
Right now, it could either be 'a' or 'c'
a. 5x-3y=22
c. 3x + 4y = 48
.
I would think, at this point, that you could possibly have a typo when you keyed it in. Can you verify that the problem is typed in correctly?
.
Or, if you proceeded, the other piece of information given was (2,)
we could try to plug it into both 'a' and 'c':
a. 5x-3y=22
5(2)-3y=22
10-3y=22
-3y=12
y = -4
.
c. 3x + 4y = 48
3(2) + 4y = 48
6 + 4y = 48
4y = 42
y = 10.5
Question 148090: The equation of the line through (8,6) and (2,) is

We want R=C.

0=-31(x-11)
So x must=11.

R(11)=22*11=242.
So, (11,242).

Answer by nerdybill(1279) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
whenever you see absolute signs you must consider the negative, that is:
consider |x|
if x is positive
|x| = x
if x is negative
|-x| = x
.
first case:
8x-17 <= 24
8x <= 41
x <= 41/8
.
second case:
-(8x-17) <= 24
17 - 8x <= 24
-8x <= 7
x >= 7/8
.
therefore
7/8 <= x <= 41/8

abs(3x-5)+2=x+1
Thanks you in advance

In an absolute value equation, you solve two equations:

1.  Write the equation substituting "(expression)"
    for "abs(expression)", and solve for x.

2.  Write the equation again substituting "-(expression)"
    for "abs(expression)", and solve for x.
    

For your equation:

abs(3x-5)+2=x+1

1. Write and solve the equation:

(3x-5)+2=x+1
3x-5+2=x+1 
3x-3=x+1
2x=4
(2x)/2=4/2
x=2

2. Write and solve the equation:

-(3x-5)+2=x+1
-3x+5+2=x+1 
-3x+7=x+1
-4x=-6
(-4x)/(-4)=(-6)/(-4)
x=3/2

the third number is 3^2 = 9
the 4th and 5th number represents the square of 4 ie 4^2 = 1,6
the 6th and 7th number represents the sqaure of 5 ie 5^2 = 2,5
and so on ...
the first 2 blanks represent the square of 9 which is 8,1

Answer by jim_thompson5910(9897) About Me  (Show Source):

Notice the first three terms

1,4,9

This looks like it might be the sequence of perfect squares. If you look at the next number you'll see 1. But if you look at the next two numbers as one number, you'll see 16. Once again if you look at the next pair as one number you get 25. If you keep doing this you get the sequence:

1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,...


So that means the next two numbers are 81 and 100. These break down into

8,1,1,0,0


So the entire sequence then becomes

1,4,9,1,6,2,5,3,6,4,9,6,4,8,1,1,0,0


But since the problem only asks for 4 numbers, we must drop the last zero. So the sequence is


1,4,9,1,6,2,5,3,6,4,9,6,4,8,1,1,0

Find:
.
lim sqrt(x)e^(sin(pi/x))
x->0+
.
Since nobody else has taken a shot at this, maybe I can give you a way of looking at it.
.
Look at the exponent of e and recognize the limits on sin(pi/x). The sine function
is limited to values between -1 and +1. So the exponent of e will range in value from
-1 to +1. That means that the term:
.
e^(sin(pi/x))
.
has a finite value ranging from e^(-1) to e^(+1). Since this range of values
is finite (and positive) the limiting factor in this problem is sqrt(x) and since
x is approaching 0+, the expression gets closer and closer to zero times the finite value
of the term involving e. Therefore, the limit is zero, just as the problem proposes that
you prove.
.
Hope this gets you on the right track and at least gives you a feel for a way of proving the
premise.

what is the length of the diagonal of a square with area 40.5 square inches?
--------------
Draw the picture.
Let each side of the square be "x".
Then x^2=40.5
Then, diagonal^2 = side^2 + side^2
diagonal^2 = 40.5 + 40.5 = 81
diagonal = 9 inches

Question 71523: find the derivative of 2(pi)(r)-(2v/r^2): find the derivative of 2(pi)(r)-(2v/r^2)
Answer by bucky(1732) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(pi)(r)-(2v/r^2)
.
The problem asks for you to take the derivative of the above expression. I presume that
the derivative is with respect to r and that v is a constant.
.
One term at a time. The product 2(pi) is a constant so it is a multiplier of the derivative
of r. The rule that applies is that the derivative of r^n is n*r^(n-1)
In this first term the exponent of r is 1. So you are taking the derivative of r^1 which
the rule tells you in 1*r^(1-1) and this simplifies to 1*r^0 = 1*1 = 1.
Putting this all together for the first term, the derivative is 2*(pi)*1 = 2*(pi).
.
On to the second term. The most critical point here is to recognize that a positive
exponent in the denominator is equivalent to a negative exponent in the numerator.
Using this we can convert (2v)/r^2 to an equivalent form (2v)*r^(-2).
.
Now we can apply the same technique as we did for the first term. The factor (2v) is
presumed to be a constant and therefore will be a multiplier of the derivative of r^(-2).
Again we use the rule that the derivative of r^n is n*r^(n-1).
So the
derivative of r^(-2) is (-2)*r^(-2-1) which simplifies to (-2)*r^(-3).
Don't forget that this gets multiplied by the constant (2v) so that the derivative
for this second term is (2v)(-2)r^(-3). Multiplying this out results in:
.
(-4vr^(-3)) and since a negative exponent in the numerator becomes a positive
exponent in the denominator, we could also write the derivative as:
.
-4v/(r^3).
.
Finally we combine the derivatives for the first and second terms to get:
.
2(pi) - (-4v)/r^3
.
and taking care of the signs for the second term concludes the effort by producing
the result:
.
2(pi) + (4v)/r^3
.
Hope this helps you to see your way through the problem.

----------------
You need to carefully sketch the parabolic shape and the
information about the ellipse on a graph. Then make a
determination regarding the answer to your question.
-----------------
Your parabolic shape has a vertex at (0,0) but you haven't
said what it's domain is---that would determine how far up
or down or to he right or to the left it goes.
--------
The ellipse has its center at (0,2).
------------
When x=0, (y-2)^2=1 ; y-2=+-1; y=3 or y=1
So the ellipse intersects the y-axis at (0,1) and (0,3)
---------
When y=2, x^2=4; x=+-2
So the ellipse passes through (2,2) and (-2,2)
When y=0, 4+x^2/4=1; x^2=-12;
So the ellipse does not touch the x-axis.
----------
Hopefully from all this you can figure out the
answer to your question.
Cheers,
Stan H.

Question 5261: Set of all grains of sand in the world.{Infinite Set/Finite Set}: Set of all grains of sand in the world.{Infinite Set/Finite Set}
Answer by xcentaur(357) About Me  (Show Source):

If the number of grains of sand in the world were a finite number,and did not change ever in response to anything,then this set would be a finite set.
However,old rocks are weathered to form sand all the time,forming new grains of sand.
Now,I won't pretend to be an expert on this subject.If you say that all grains of sand can be counted and assumed to be finite,then this is a finite set.Otherwise,by the argument above,this would be an infinite set.
