Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in the question can be used to form an equation which goes thus:

2nd term = a + d = 4 ...... i

5th term = a + 4d = 22 ....... ii

From equation i

a = 4 - d ........ iii

Put equation iii into ii

a + 4d = 22

(4 - d) + 4d = 22

4 - d + 4d = 22

4 + 3d = 22

3d = 22 - 4

3d = 18

d = 18/3

d = 6

Commons difference is 6

Since a + d = 4

a + 6 = 4

a = 4 - 6

a = -2

The first term is -2

State the complement of each of the following sets: (a) Engineers with less than 36 months of full-time employment. (b) Samples
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

(a) Engineers with greater than 36 months of full-time employment.

(b) Samples of cement blocks with compressive strength greater than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter

(c) Measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that conform to engineering specifications.

(d) Cholesterol levels that measure less than 180 and greater than 220.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complement of a set refers to elements that does not exist in that set. It means what does not exist in the set but exist in the universal set.

(a) Engineers with greater than 36 months of full-time employment.

In this case, the Universal set is a set of engineers in full-time employment. The given set is for engineers with less than 36 months of full-time employment. The complement is engineers with greater than 36 months of full-time employment.

(b) Samples of cement blocks with compressive strength greater than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter

In this case, the universal set is a set of samples of cement block having compressive strength. The given set is a set of cement block having compressive strength less than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter. The complement is samples of cement blocks with compressive strength greater than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter.

(c) Measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that conform to engineering specifications.

In this case, the universal set is a set of measurements of the diameter of forged pistons. The given set is a set of measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that do not conform to engineering specifications. The complement is a set of measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that conforms to engineering specification.

(d) Cholesterol levels that measure less than 180 and greater than 220.

In this case, the universal set is a set of Cholesterol levels. The given set is Cholesterol levels that measure greater than 180 and less than 220. The complement is Cholesterol levels that measure less than 180 and greater than 220.
