Functions/642926: Is the relation {(1,3),(-4,0),(3,1),(0,4),(2,3)} a function? Why or why not? 1 solutions Answer 404278 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-29 12:20:12 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since each x value maps to one and ONLY ONE y value, this means that this given relation is indeed a function. If we had x = 2 mapping to both y = 3 and y = 4 at the same time, then this wouldn't be a function (since this x value is mapping to more than one y value). But that's not the case here. So again, this relation is a function. =============================================================================== Summary Is the relation {(1,3),(-4,0),(3,1),(0,4),(2,3)} a function? Yes Why or why not? See explanation above

Permutations/642859: There are 15 ‘True or False’ questions in an examination. In how many ways can a student do the examination if he or she can also choose not to answer almost 3 questions? 1 solutions Answer 404275 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-29 11:59:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the student answers all 15 questions, then there is only one way to do this. ------------------------------------------------------- If the student skips one question, and exactly one question only, then there are 15 ways to do this (since there are 15 questions to skip). ------------------------------------------------------- If the student skips two questions, then there are 15 C 2 = 15*14/2 = 105 ways to do this. ------------------------------------------------------- If the student skips three questions, then there are 15 C 3 = 15*14*13/6 = 455 ways to do this. ======================================================= So if a student can skip at most 3 questions, then there are 1+15+105+455 = 576 different ways to do this.

Permutations/642890: a product code is made from 3 non-distinct letters from this set { W,Y,T,U,X,R}. how many different codes contain exactly 1 R? 1 solutions Answer 404270 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-29 11:31:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If repetition is NOT allowed (ex: RTX is allowed, but RTT is NOT allowed) Case 1) First letter is R There are 6 letters total. After picking R, you have 5 left. So there are 5*4 = 20 ways to arrange the remaining letters in the remaining two slots. Case 2) Second letter is R Same as case 1, but now the R is in the second slot instead of the first. There are still 5 letters left and 5*4 = 20 ways to arrange these 5 remaining letters in the two outer slots. Case 3) Third letter is R Same as case 1, but now R is in slot 3. So there are 20 ways to arrange the remaining letters. So we have 3 cases with 20 ways each giving us 3*20 = 60 ways total. =========================================================================== OR If repetition is allowed (ex: RTT is finally allowed), then... You have 6 letters, but you can only have exactly one R. So once you choose that R (for say the first slot), then you have 5 letters left to choose from for the second slot. Since repetition is allowed, you also have 5 letters left to choose for the 3rd slot. So you have 5*5 = 25 ways to choose an R for the first slot, then 2 (maybe repeating) letters for the second and third slot. This can be generalized if R was in any slot. So there are 3 times as many ways, which means that there are 3*25 = 75 different ways ========================================================================= Summary: So again, if repetition is NOT allowed, then there are 60 ways to do this. If repetition is allowed, then there are 75 ways to do this.

Angles/642660: I need to find the measure of the third angle and they give me this: x°, (123 – x)° how can i do it? 1 solutions Answer 404175 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-28 21:11:03 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let y = third missing angle Since the three angles (in any triangle) must add to 180, we know that x+(123-x) + y = 180 123 + y = 180 y = 180 - 123 y = 57 So the third angle is 57 degrees

Geometry_proofs/642658: The question is: Can you think of any way to prove from Euclid's postulates that for every line l (a) There exists a point lying on l? (b) There exists a point not lying on l? I'm thinking it has something to do with Euclid's parallel postulate, but I'm not sure. I have never written proofs before, so I am just having a difficult time trying to formulate this properly. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! 1 solutions Answer 404173 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-28 21:08:01 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) Any line is uniquely determined by 2 points. So if you have a line, then you know it has at least two points on it. ------------------------------------------------------- b) Parallel lines will NEVER intersect in euclidean geometry (in the plane). This means that parallel lines will not have any points in common. So the existence of parallel lines shows us that if you have a line, then there are points that do not lie on this given line (since these points will lie on the parallel lines).
