Suppose that the universal set is U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. Express each of the following subsets with bit strings (of length 10

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

0011100000

1010010001

0111001110

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question is not complete, Here is the complete question.

Suppose that the universal set is U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. Express each of these sets with bit strings where the ith bit in the string is 1 if i is in the set and 0 otherwise.

a) {3, 4, 5}

b) {1, 3, 6, 10}

c) {2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9}.

So, we need to express a) b) and c) into bit strings.

Firstly, number of elements in the universal set represent the number of bits in the bit string.

Secondly, 1 = yes element is present in both universal set as well as in sub set.

0 = No, element is not present in sub set but present in universal set.

Hence, we have:

a) Sub set {3,4,5} = 0011100000 (As there are 3 1's which means only 3,4,5 are present in both universal set and subset.

Similarly,

b) Sub set {1, 3, 6, 10} = 1010010001

c) Sub set {2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9} = 0111001110

Karson drove from his house to work at an average speed of 35 miles per hour. The drive took him 20 minutes. If the drive took

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Karson's average speed on his way home was 28 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Karson drove from his house to work at an average speed of 35 miles per hour, and the drive took him 20 minutes, if the drive took him 25 minutes and he used the same route in reverse, to determine what was his average speed going home, the following calculation must be performed:

60 = 35

20 = X

20 x 35/60 = X

700/60 = X

11.666 = X

25 = 11,666

60 = X

60 x 11.666 / 25 = X

27.99 = X

Therefore, Karson's average speed on his way home was 28 miles per hour.

If a = 0.6 repeating and b = 0.75, then a x b = blank and a/b = blank

atroni [7]

Answer:

a*b = 1/2

a/ b = 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 0.66666 and b = 0.75

To multiply it we write the decimal numbers in fraction form

a= 0.666666...

Multiply by 10 on both sides

10 a = 6.66666...

a = 0.66666...

Subtract the second equation

9a = 6

divide by 9 on both sides

$a=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$

so 0.6666 = 2/3

Now we convert 0.75 into fraction form

$0.75=\frac{0.75}{1}$

Multiply top and bottom by 100 to remove decimal

$\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$

so 0.75 is 3/4

a= 2/3 and b = 3/4

$a*b = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{4}{3} =\frac{8}{9}$

three positive numbers are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P). the sum of the squares of the three numbers is 155. while the sum of

Alecsey [184]

Given:
Three numbers in an AP, all positive.
Sum is 21.
Sum of squares is 155.
Common difference is positive.

We do not know what x and y stand for. Will just solve for the three numbers in the AP.
Let m=middle number, then since sum=21, m=21/3=7
Let d=common difference.
Sum of squares
(7-d)^2+7^2+(7+d)^2=155
Expand left-hand side
3*7^2-2d^2=155
d^2=(155-147)/2=4
d=+2 or -2
=+2 (common difference is positive)

Therefore the three numbers of the AP are
{7-2,7,7+2}, or
{5,7,9}
