Question 612378: I invested 50 000 more in teachers' cooperation than in home owners' cooperative. If my total investments in the two cooperatives is 110 000, how much is my investment in each?
Answer by bucky(2179)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let x represent the unknown amount invested in the home owners' cooperative.
.
Since 50 000 more is invested in the teachers' cooperative, we can write that the investment in the teachers' cooperative is x + 50 000
,
The sum of these two investments is:
.
x + x + 50 000 and adding the two x terms results in a total of 2x + 50 000
.
But the problem tells you that the sum of the two investments is 110 000. Therefore, we can write the equation:
.
2x + 50 000 = 110 000
.
To solve this for x we can first eliminate the 50 000 on the left side by subtracting 50 000 from both sides to get:
.
2x = 60 000
.
Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by 2 to get:
.
x = 30 000
.
Since we chose x to represent the amount invested in the home owners' cooperative, we know that we have 30 000 in it. And since 50 000 more was invested in the teachers' cooperative we know that we have invested 30 000 plus 50 000 for a total of 80 000 in the teachers cooperative.
.
And as a check, the total of 30 000 in the home owners' cooperative plus the 80 000 in the teachers' cooperative does add up to the total 110 000 that we have invested all together.
.
I hope this helps you to understand the problem and how you can solve it.

Question 606633: Given the sets:
vowels = {'a' ,'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'} and name = {'a', 'l', 'l, 'a', 'n'}
Which is FALSE?
- name ∪ vowels = {'a'}
- 'a' ∈ (vowels ∩ name)
- The cardinality of name = The cardinality of {'a', 'l', 'n' }
- The cardinality of vowels is equal to the cardinality of name
I would normally say it would be D in this case, as I think duplicate letters don't count such as name would be 3 and vowels would be 4.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(23765) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Choice A is false. So there must be a typo if there is only one possible answer. My guess is that the union symbol in choice A should be an intersection symbol.
If that's the case, then the answer is choice D.
Question 606645: Given the sets:
vowels = {'a' ,'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'} and name = {'a', 'l', 'l, 'a', 'n'}
Which is FALSE?
- name ∪ vowels = {'a'}
- 'a' ∈ (vowels ∩ name)
- The cardinality of name = The cardinality of {'a', 'l', 'n' }
- The cardinality of vowels is equal to the cardinality of name.
I would think it was D because the cardinality of vowels would be 5 and the cardinality of name would be 3, due to having more than one of the same letter.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Given the sets:
vowels = {'a' ,'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'} and name = {'a', 'l', 'l, 'a', 'n'}
Which is FALSE?
- name ∪ vowels = {'a'}
That's false because (name ∪ vowels) = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'l', 'n', 'o','u'}
- 'a' ∈ (vowels ∩ name)
That's true because (vowels ∩ name) = {'a'} and 'a' ∈ {'a'}
- The cardinality of name = The cardinality of {'a', 'l', 'n' }
That's true because 'a', 'l', and 'n' are the only elements in the
set name, and that cardinality is 3.
- The cardinality of vowels is equal to the cardinality of name.
That's false because the cadinality of vowels is 5 and the cardinality
of names is only 3.
--------------------------
I would think it was D because the cardinality of vowels would be 5 and the cardinality of name would be 3, due to having more than one of the same letter
Yes, but the first one is also false.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!If two of the positive factors of the number are

the number must be a multiple of 
The number 150 has  positive factors.
Any other number who has 6 and 25 as factors will be a multiple of 150, and will have more than 12 factors.
So your locker is number 150.
How do I know has positive factors?
Because all the factors will be of the form
 where a and b could be 0 or 1, and c could be 0, 1, or 2.
That gives you 2 choices for a, 2 choices for b,and 3 choices for c. That makes combinations.

Question 551065: In a certain party each one of the group drinks coke or beer or whiskey or all. also 400 drink coke, 500 drink beer and 300 drink whiskey. 100 drink coke and beer, 200 drink beer and whiskey. 1 who drinks whiskey does not drink coke. how many are in the group?
Answer by Edwin McCravy(7327) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!In a certain party each one of the group drinks coke or beer or whiskey or all. also 400 drink coke, 500 drink beer and 300 drink whiskey. 100 drink coke and beer, 200 drink beer and whiskey. 1 who drinks whiskey does not drink coke. how many are in the group?
There are 7 regions in the Venn diagram above
Circle C contains all the Coke drinkers, which are of 4 types:
Circle C is made up of 4 regions d,e,f, and h
Those in region d drink Coke but do not drink beer or whiskey
Those in region e drink Coke and beer, but do not drink whiskey.
Those in region h drink Coke, beer, and whiskey.
Those in region g drink Coke and whiskey, but do not drink beer.
Circle B contains all the beer drinkers, which are of 4 types:
Circle B is made up of 4 regions e,f,h, and i
Those in region e drink beer and Coke, but do not drink whiskey.
Those in region f drink beer, but do not drink coke or whiskey.
Those in region h drink beer, Coke, and whiskey.
Those in region i drink beer and whiskey, but do not drink Coke.
Circle W contains all the whiskey drinkers, which are of 4 types:
Circle W is made up of 4 regions g,h,i, and j
Those in region g drink whishey and Coke, but do not drink beer.
Those in region h drink whiskey, Coke, and beer.
Those in region i drink whiskey and beer, but do not drink Coke.
Those in region j drink whiskey, but do not drink Coke or beer.
Let's start with this clue:
>>...1 who drinks whiskey does not drink Coke. how many are in the group?
I take this to mean nobody drinks both Coke and whiskey. That
means there are nobody in regions g and h. So we put 0's there
>>...100 drink coke and beer...<<
So all 100 go in e since there are 0 in the middle. So we replace
e by 100
>>...200 drink beer and whiskey...<<
So all 200 go in i since there are 0 in the middle. So we replace
i by 200
>>...400 drink coke...<<
Three of the regions of circle C have 100, 0 and 0 in them.
So we have already accounted for 100 of the Coke-drinkers,
so the remaining 300 coke-drinkers are in region d. So we
replace d by 300:
>>...500 drink beer...<<
Three of the regions of circle B have 100, 0 and 200 in them.
So we have already accounted for 300 of the beer-drinkers,
so the remaining 200 beer-drinkers are in region f. So we
replace f by 200:
>>...300 drink whiskey...<<
Three of the regions of circle W have 0, 0 and 200 in them.
So we have already accounted for 200 of the whiskey-drinkers,
so the remaining 100 whiskey-drinkers are in region j. So we
replace j by 100:
Now we have all 7 regions filled with numbers, so
we add them up:
300+100+200+0+0+200+100 = 900
So there were 900 at the party. What a party!

Answer by mathie123(224) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!a) f(x)= -3x ,g(x)=2x+6
f(g(x)) is just basically saying everywhere you have an x in f(x), put the entire g(x) function.
So for this example, f(g(x))=-3(2x+6)
and g(f(x)) is just saying everywhere you have and x in g(x), put the entire f(x) function
So for this example, g(f(x))=2(-3x)+6
I will let you do b) yourself (hint: VERY similar to a), just different functions.

Question 500817: 1. Whenever we encounter a new proposition, it is a good idea to explore the
proposition by looking at specific examples. For example, let
a =20, b = 12, and t = 4. In this case, t given a and t given b. In each of
the following cases, determine the value of (ax + by) and determine if t
divides (ax + by).
(a) x = 1; y = 1 a. yes
(b) x = 1; y = -1 b. yes
(c) x = 2; y = 2 c. yes
(d) x = 2; y= -3 d. yes
(e) x = -2; y = 3 e. yes
(f) x = -2; y = -5 f. yes
2. Repeat Part (1) with a = 21, b = -6, and t =3.

following the discussion of this proposition. Complete the following proof
of Proposition 4.15.
Proposition 4.15. Let a, b, and t be integers with t ≠ 0. If t divides a and t

Answer by richard1234(5244) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Pretty straightforward. If t divides a and t divides b, then a ≡ 0 (mod t) and b ≡ 0 (mod t). Then we can multiply a and b by integers and the residue is still 0 mod t (i.e. ax ≡ 0, by ≡ 0). Then we can add them and we obtain our desired result, ax + by ≡ 0 (mod t) <--> t divides ax + by.
Question 500690: One of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics is a conjecture
made by Christian Goldbach in a letter to Leonhard Euler in 1742. The
conjecture made in this letter is now known as Goldbach’s Conjecture. The
conjecture is as follows:
Every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two
(not necessarily distinct) prime numbers.
Currently, it is not known if this conjecture is true or false, although most
mathematicians believe it to be true.
(a) Describe one way to prove that Goldbach’s Conjecture is false.
(b) Prove the following:
If there exists an odd integer greater than 5 that is not the sum of
three prime numbers, then Goldbach’s Conjecture is false.
Answer by solver91311(13359) (Show Source):
Question 495875: It was stated that a real function is a function whose domain
and codomain are subsets of the real numbers R. Most of the functions
used in calculus are real functions. Quite often, a real function is given by a
formula or a graph with no specific reference to the domain or the codomain.
In these cases, the usual convention is to assume that the domain of the real
function f is the set of all real numbers x for which f(x) is a real number and that the codomain is R. For example, if we define the (real) function f
by,
f(x)=x/x-2,
we would be assuming that the domain is the set of all real numbers that are not equal to 2.
Determine the domain and range of each of he following real functions.
a.)The function k defined by k(x)=the square root x-3
b.)The function F defined by F(x)=In(2x-1)
c.)The function f defined by f(x)=3 sin(2x)
d.)The function g defined by g(x)=4/x^2 - 4
Answer by richard1234(5244) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Simply find the set of all possible x-values, and the set of all possible y-values. For example,

is not defined on real numbers if x < 3. Also, the range of k(x) is [0, infinity) because the square root of any real number is nonnegative.

Draw a large rectangle. Inside of the rectangle draw three circles that partially overlap.
Label the circles P, C, and S.
In the very center where the three circles overlap, that is to say the one region on your diagram where you are inside of all three circles, put the number 5 representing the 5 people who ordered P, C, AND S.
The region where P and C overlap needs to contain the number of people who ordered ONLY P and C. The number 10 given for people who ordered P and C also includes those who ordered P, C, and S. So from the given 10 subtract those that ordered all three, that is 10 minus 5 = 5. And you put 5 into the P and C only region. Similarly, since 12 minus 5 equals 7, you put 7 in the P & S only region. Then, since the number who ordered P includes those who ordered P & C, those who ordered P & S, AND those who ordered all three, add up 5 plus 7 plus 5 = 17, then subtract 17 from the 42 we are told ordered P to arrive at 25 who ordered ONLY P. Use similar logic to fill in the rest of your diagram.
Next add all of the numbers that you have entered in your diagram. Subtract that result from 70, the number of people surveyed, to get the number of people who did not order P, S, OR C. Several of us only wanted ice cream. Write that number in the rectangle outside of all of the circles.
You should be able to answer all of the questions posed just from the data in your diagram.

means "EQUALITY IS ALLOWED BUT NOT REQUIRED", When there is no line
underneath, it means "EQUALITY IS NOT ALLOWED".
Multiple choice possibilities:
1. E ⊂ A, TRUE because "a,b,&l" are all part of but not all of "b,l,a,z,&e"
2. C ⊂ A, TRUE because "a,b,l,&e" are all part of but not all of "b,l,a,z,&e
3. D ⊆ B, TRUE because "l,a,&b" is part of or all of "b,a,l,&e".
4. C ⊂ B, FALSE because "a,b,l,&e" is ALL OF, not just part of "b,a,l,&e"
5. D ⊂ A, TRUE because "l,a,&b" are all part of but not all of "b,l,a,z,&e"

Question 482196: The problem says this:
Are the two sets equal, equivalent, neither or both?
V = {eye, nose, ear, mouth, tongue}; W = {tongue, ear, mouth, eye, nose}
Will someone help me with this? Also, to get a better understanding of this, would you mind explaining your answer? Thank you so much!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!They are   and  .
Rearranging the elements in a different order between the braces does not change the set.
by definition:
Two sets are if their  is .
The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in the set.
The cardinality of V is  and the
The cardinality of W is . So the sets are .
Two sets are if the two sets consist of the    .
Set  and set   the same elements.

V and W are equal.
They have the same elements: no more and no less.
----
Equivalent sets have the same number of elements
but not the same elements.

1. E ⊆ A and B ⊂ C
2. C ⊂ D and E ⊂ C
3. D ⊆ C and D ⊆ E
4. C ⊂ E and B ⊆ A
5. D ⊂ C and B ⊆ C
Can you help me with this please? Thank you so much!
Answer by Theo(3065)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!⊆ means improper subset
⊂ means proper subset
an improper subset means that A is a subset of B, but B doesn't contain any elements in it other than the elements that are also in A.
an example would be:
A = {a,b,c,d}
B = {a,b,c,d}
these sets are identical so:
A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A are valid.
a proper subset means that A is a subset of B, but B contains additional elements that are not in A.
an example would be:
A = {a,b,c}
B = {a,b,c,d}
A ⊂ B is valid.
B ⊂ A is not valid.
All elememnts in A are in B, but B contains additional elements not in A, namely d.
here's a reference from the web that explains it as well.

i analyzed each of your statements in turn and found the following:
1. E ⊆ A and B ⊂ C
E is a proper subset of A because it has less elements than A.
B is an improper subset of C because they both contain the same elements.
This answer is not correct.
2. C ⊂ D and E ⊂ C
C cannot be a subset of D because D contains fewer elements than C.
if anything, it would be the other way around.
D ⊂ C would be more appropriate.
3. D ⊆ C and D ⊆ E
D is a proper subset of C, not an improper subset.
Also D is not a subset of E because E contains fewer elements than D.
4. C ⊂ E and B ⊆ A
C is not a subset of E because E contains fewer elements than C.
5. D ⊂ C and B ⊆ C
D is a proper subset of C because D contains fewer elements than C.
B is an improper subset of C because they both contain the same elements.
THIS ONE LOOKS CORRECT !!!!!
I believe your answer is selection 5.
D contains {b,l,a}
C contains {b,l,a,e}
B contains {b,l,a,e}
it does help to reorder the terms so you can see the relationships easier.
you can see that B and C are identical sets, so B ⊆ C is correct.
you can see that all elements in D are also in C and that D contains fewer elements than C, so D ⊂ C is correct.
I'd go with selection 5.

Answer by solver91311(13359) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
B' is everything that is in U but not in B. A ∪ B' is everything that is either in A, in B', or in both.
