Setting up a linear equation 2020-04-10
Jessie pose la question :
Michaela and Aleah play on the same basketball team. In one game, Michaela scored one fifth of the teams points and Aleah scored one tenth of the teams points. Together, they scored a total of 42 points. How many points did the team score?

I can't figure out how to put together the equation with the given variables. I have to show the work and I also need to know how to make that kind of equation. Thanks!

Partitions of a set 2019-12-21
Ghani pose la question :
1. Are set partition "sets"?

2. If they are so then, why are both {{a}{b,c}} and {{a,b}{c}} said to be valid partitions
of A ={a,b,c} despite them having different elements?

(I understand that set are equal if they have the exact same elements).

Thank you!

Some questions about sets 2019-12-15
M.Azzi pose la question :
Hello, (I) - In set theory can a given set contain both elements and subsets, as "elements", as in : A = {1,2,{},3,{{3}},8}

If yes :
1 - then, is |A| = 6 ?
2 - if the empty set is a subset of every set,
2. 1. does {} = {{}}, {{{}}} etc? , and if the is true what are the respective cardinals of the latter three? (0,1,1?).
2 . 2. Why isn't {1} equal to {{},1}? and why should these two be equal without having the same cardinality?

Sorry if my questions are not well expressed.

Thank you for the great service you provide.

A question about the empty set 2018-06-17
Andrey pose la question :
Hello there!
I got that an empty set is a subset of every set.
There is a question.
Is an empty set an element of every set?
∅ ⊆ {x}True
∅ ∈{x}?
Sorry if the question is easy. A set theory is a bit confusing.

Question from Todd:

Good Day.
I have to figure out the square footage of a quonset style roof that's not playing by the rules The building dimensions (rectangular) are 63'x135' the height of the roof is 9.25'. It not an entire Quonset, It's that style of roof,(curved). There are concrete block walls 10' up to the metal roof.

Thank you!

The number of possible musical notes using an n-key instrument 2015-05-04
Farihin pose la question :
Lets say that i have keys, and each key is for notes of a musical instrument, So i wanted to find out the number of notes i can get for a certain number keys, of course in the form of an equation. Notes can use as many keys, it can use 1, or 2, or 3, or even 100.
Notes in real life is not as such, but ignore reality. I tried doing this but i can't seem to find a formula for it. For example, i have 4 keys, say A, B, C, and D. so, for notes that uses one key are 4, which is A, B, C, and D themselves. for notes that uses two keys are 6,
AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD.
for notes that uses three keys are 4,
ABC, ABD, ACD and BCD.
lastly for notes that uses all four keys is 1, ABCD.
So, the total will be 4+6+4+1=15#

The nth term for the first equation is n, the second is [(n^2)-n]/2 the third and the fourth, i don't know but the final answer should be like,
n + [(n^2)-n]/2 + [3rd] + [4th]

Sorry for the long question though...

Properties of real numbers applied to subsets 2012-02-01
Mark pose la question :
Hello - The questions that I have for you is do the properties of real numbers (such as the associative, commutative, identity, inverse, and distributive law) apply to ALL the subsets of real numbers? In other words, do all those properties work for the Natural Numbers? The Whole Numbers? And so on and so forth. I understand that they are all real numbers, but for instance: the identity is whenever you add zero to a number, you get that number back. But does that work with, say, with only the odd numbers? Zero isn't odd so can that property actually apply to JUST the odd numbers? Any consideration would be greatly appreciated!

Cardinality of infinite sets 2009-09-01
Brian pose la question :
I was reading an answer to a question on your site regarding infinite sets (http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.01/carlos1.html), and I think they may have got the answer wrong.

I his example, he claims that the set of real numbers BETWEEN 0 AND 1 is larger than the set of positive integers.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe those two sets are -- pardon the expression -- equally infinite. For any integer, there is a corresponding real number between 0 and 1, and vice versa.

For instance, using the decimal as a "mirror", you can create a mirror image of any real number between 0 and 1 as an integer (i.e. 0.1234 gets mirrored as the integer 4321 -- I could write it out algebraically, if you want, but you get my point)

Am I wrong?

Thanks, Brian

The axiom of choice and constructibe sets 2009-04-10
sydney pose la question :
The axiom of choice asserts the existence of certain sets, but does not construct the set. What does "construct" mean here? For example, does it require showing the existence and uniqueness of some function yielding the set? In general, what does it mean to require the existence of a mathematical object be tied to a construction of it?

Countable and uncountable sets 2007-07-24
Mac pose la question :
Hi, i tried to read few webpages related to the countably infinite and uncountable sets. Even i read few questions from this forum.

But i am not convinced with this explanation. If you have any good book that explains this in layman term, please redirect me to that.
1) Can you please explain what is the difference between these too ?
2) How could you say set of Natural number and set of even numbers are countably infinite ?
N={1,2,3,...} and Even= {2,4,6,...}
When an element in the even set is some 2n, we will map it to 'n'.So now we have a bigger number(2n) right ?
Sorry, i didn't understand that.
...

Can you please help me out to understand that ?

Equality of sets 2007-07-23
Mac pose la question :
Hi, I learnt set theory recently. My teacher and few of the weblink actually give different definition for basic set. Can you please solve this ?

My teacher says, {1,2,3} and {1,1,2,3} is also set.
But in this link http://library.thinkquest.org/C0126820/setsubset.html it says,
"A set has no duplicate elements. An element is either a member of a set or not. It cannot be in the set twice."
and "{1, 2, 3} is the same as the set {1, 3, 2, 3, 1}"

My question is,
1. Whether duplicates allowed in the set or not ?
2. Even if the duplicates are allowed, {1,2,3} and {1,1,2,2,3,3} are same or not ?

Composition of functions 2002-04-06
Yvonne pose la question :
In our new text book, the following question occurs: State the domain and range of g(f(x))given that f(x) = -x2 - 4 and g(x) = sqrt(x)

The range of f(x), x<=-4, is the domain of g(x). BUT, there is no solution in the Real numbers for g(f(x))= sqrt(-x2 - 4).

In the solutions it says that this is not a function and therefore does not have a domain or range. Is it a relation? Is it anything?
