If k is an integer, what is
k + 1
/2
!
? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

If [tex]k\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex] than [tex]k+1\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex] however any [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex] divided by 2 is in [tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex].

But it is not so simple.

If [tex]k[/tex] is odd then [tex]k+1[/tex] is even but when even number is divided by 2, you get an odd number which is in [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

However if [tex]k[/tex] is even then [tex]k+1[/tex] is odd and when we divide that by 2, you get a number like for example [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] which is not in [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex] but rather inside [tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex]. There are fortunately no irrational numbers.

There is also a problem with zero, zero is neither odd nor even but still an integer. If your [tex]k[/tex] happens to be -1, [tex]k+1=0[/tex], and zero divided by 2 is still just 0 which is in [tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

So to sum up,

If [tex]k[/tex] is odd and not -1, then [tex]\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

Or to put it in math [tex]\forall k\in\mathrm{odd}-\{-1\}\cup\{0\}\implies\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Z}[/tex].

If [tex]k[/tex] is even or -1, then [tex]\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Q}[/tex].

Or to put it in math [tex]\forall k\in\mathrm{even}\cup \{-1\}\implies\frac{k+1}{2}\in\mathbb{Q}[/tex].

Notes:

[tex]\mathbb{Z}[/tex] is a set of integers.

[tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex] is a set of rational numbers.

[tex]\mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{Q}[/tex] means integers are a subset of rational numbers, that is, every integer is a also a fraction, however not every fraction is an integer.

Hope this helps :)

6 tables or 8 chair cost Rs 2400.What will 24 tables and 12 chairs cost?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 1 table=2400/6=rs.400

or ,cost of 1 chair=2400/8=rs.300

now,

cost of 24 tables=24×400=9600

or,cost of 12 chairs=12×300=3600

or,

may be the question is,

6tables + 8 chairs= 2400

24 tables + 12 chairs=?

solution,

cost of 1 tables=rs.200

cost of 1 chair=rs.150

now,

cost of 24 tables=200×24=4800

cost of 12 chairs=150×12=1800

so, ans= 4800+1800=6600

Answer:

Rs.13200

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 6 tables=Rs.2400

or,

cost of 8 chair=Rs.2400

cost of 1 table=2400/6

                      =Rs.400

cost of 1 chair=2400/8

                      =Rs.300

cost of 24 tables=24*400

                            =Rs.9600

cost of 12 chairs=12*300

                         =Rs.3600

total cost of 24 tables and 12 chairs=9600+3600

                                                          =Rs.13200

The maxwell family goes out for dinner and the price of the meal is $60 the sales tax on the meal is 7% and they also want to leave a 15% tip what is the total cost of the meal

Answers

So we start with the $60 untouched.

Then we add the tax which is $60•0.07= 4.20 that is the tax

Then add the tax to the total $60 + $4.20= $64.20

Next we must add the tip so $60•0.15= 9.

Then $64.20 + $9.00 = $73.20

Total cost of meal $73.20

Any questions? :)

Answer: $ 73.20

Step-by-step explanation:

60+(60*0.07)+(60*0.15)=73.2

Step-by-step explanation:

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x +4)(2x +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this, you look for factors of 2·20 = 40 that have a sum of 13.

The factor pairs of 40 are ...

  40 = 1·40 = 2·20 = 4·10 = 5·8

The sums of these factor pairs are 41, 22, 14, 13. The last one is the one we want.

There are several ways to use this factor pair. One of the more straightforward methods is to rewrite the middle term as a sum using these numbers:

  2x² +5x +8x +20

  = x(2x +5) +4(2x +5) . . . . . factor pairs of terms

  = (x +4)(2x +5) . . . . . . . . . factor out the common factor

Answers

According to the the video, the Golden Ratio is a figure in mathematics theorized by mathematicians as a value that indicates natures beauty symmetry

[tex]\mathbf{The \ value\ of \ the \ Golden \ ratio \ is \ \phi} = \mathbf{\dfrac{1 + \sqrt{5} }{2} }[/tex]

Good examples of the Golden Ratio in art and architecture is the Great Pyramid of Giza, constructed in 2570 B.C. and the temple of Parthenon for which construction began in 447 BC and the decoration completed in 432 BC

The reason the temple of Parthenon is so interesting is that the temple just like the pyramid were meant to last indefinitely, such that they can only be made to last so long by the deities, as such by building using the Golden Ratio found in nature including the spiral galaxies, is in recognition of nature's beauty which is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, harmonious, and maybe preservative

2. The common presence of the Golden Ratio in the universe can be seen as both a grand design and a coincidence, however, due to the higher prevalence than random occurrence, it can be taken as a design that can be observed in nature

If a set S has a total of 6 subsets that consist of 2 members each, then S consists of how many members

Answers

A set S has four members if there are six subsets of it, each with two members.

The combination formula, which is given by: can be used to determine the total amount of subsets with two members each.

[tex]^nC_k= \dfrac{n!}{(k!(n-k)!)}[/tex]

There are 6 subsets in this situation, each with 2 members.

So, [tex]^nC_2[/tex] = 6

Simplifying the equation:

n! / (2!(n-2)!) = 6

n(n-1) / (2 x 1) = 6

n(n-1) / 2 = 6

n(n-1) = 12

Expanding the equation:

[tex]n^2 - n = 12[/tex]

[tex]n^2 - n - 12 = 0[/tex]

Factoring the quadratic equation:

(n - 4)(n + 3) = 0

When all factors are set to zero and n is calculated:

n - 4 = 0    or    n + 3 = 0

n = 4        or    n = -3

Since n must be a positive integer.

So, n = 4 is the valid solution.

Thus, set S consists of 4 members.
