Answer:

Numbers in the solution set of this problem = ( -5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Two-fifths of one less than a number =\frac{2}{5}(x-1)

Three-fifths of one more than a number =\frac{3}{5}(x+1)

We have two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number

That is

             \frac{2}{5}(x-1)-5

Numbers in the solution set of this problem = ( -5, ∞)

Using the given formula T = LS

And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:

180 = L x 4-1/2

Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:

L = 180 / 4-1/2

L = 40

The length should be 40 inches.

According to DeMorgan 's theorem, the complement of W · X + Y · Z is W' + X' · Y' + Z'. Yet both functions are 1 for WXYZ = 1110
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The parenthesis need to be kept intact while applying the DeMorgan's theorem on the original equation to find the compliment because otherwise it will introduce an error in the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to DeMorgan's Theorem:

(W.X + Y.Z)'

(W.X)' . (Y.Z)'

(W'+X') . (Y' + Z')

Note that it is important to keep the parenthesis intact while applying the DeMorgan's theorem.

For the original function:

(W . X + Y . Z)'

= (1 . 1 + 1 . 0)

= (1 + 0) = 1

For the compliment:

(W' + X') . (Y' + Z')

=(1' + 1') . (1' + 0')

=(0 + 0) . (0 + 1)

=0 . 1 = 0

Both functions are not 1 for the same input if we solve while keeping the parenthesis intact because that allows us to solve the operation inside the parenthesis first and then move on to the operator outside it.

Without the parenthesis the compliment equation looks like this:

W' + X' . Y' + Z'

1' + 1' . 1' + 0'

0 + 0 . 0 + 1

Here, the 'AND' operation will be considered first before the 'OR', resulting in 1 as the final answer.

Therefore, it is important to keep the parenthesis intact while applying DeMorgan's Theorem on the original equation or else it would produce an erroneous result.

Which equation can be used to represent "three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of thr
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four as an equation.

Let the number be n.

The first part is: three minus the difference of a number and one:

3 - (n - 1)

The second part is: one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four:

1/2(3n - 4)

Now, let us equate the first and second parts:

3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)

PS: I really do not understand the options
