Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Chapter 3.2, Problem 49E

a.

To determine

Whether the expression x+y represents a discrete or continuous value.

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 49E

Continuous

Explanation of Solution

It is known that x represents the capacity (in gallons) of first jug and y represents the capacity (in gallons) of second jug.

So, the expression x+y represents the combined capacity (in gallons) of the two jugs.

Since, jugs can hold any amount of water, the expression is continuous.

b.

To determine

Whether the expression A+B represents a discrete or continuous value.

b.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 49E

Discrete

Explanation of Solution

It is known that A represents the number of jugs filled of first size and y represents the number of jugs filled of second size.

So, the expression A+B represents the total number of jugs filled.

Since, number of jugs filled can only be a positive integer, thus this expression is discrete.

c.

To determine

Whether the expression Ax represents a discrete or continuous value.

Answer to Problem 49E

Continuous

Explanation of Solution

It is known that x represents the capacity (in gallons) of first jug and A represents the number of jugs filled of first size

So, the expression Ax represents the total amount of water used to fill A jugs of first size.

Since, jugs can hold any amount of water, the expression is continuous.

d.

To determine

Whether the expression Ax+By represents a discrete or continuous value.

d.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 49E

Continuous

Explanation of Solution

It is known that x represents the capacity (in gallons) of first jug and A represents the number of jugs filled of first size

So, the expression Ax represents the total amount of water used to fill A jugs of first size.

Also it is known that y represents the capacity (in gallons) of second jug and B represents the number of jugs filled of second size

So, the expression By represents the total amount of water used to fill B jugs of second size.

Thus, the expression Ax+By represents the total amount of water used to fill all the jugs.

Since, jugs can hold any amount of water, the expression is continuous.
