Concept explainers
Here we celebrate the power of algebra as a powerful way of finding unknown quantities by naming them, of expressing infinitely many relationships and connections clearly and succinctly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.
Not another box of knots?! Yes, your math instructor has yet another box of knots. This time, the number of unknots is x, the number of trefoil knots is y, the number of figure-eight knots is z, the number of square knots is w, and the number of granny knots is v. After carefully studying the figures of these knots in the text, write an expression that represents the total number of crossing that occur in all of the knots in the box when they are displayed like the figures in the text.

- 4. Prove: If x {0, 1} then x² - -x=0. 5. 6. Prove by contrapositive: Suppose x is a real number. If x>0 then x + 16 0. Prove by contradiction: Suppose n is an integer. Then n² - n+10. Hint: You might try organizing the proof by cases on whether n is even or odd. Is n² - n+1 even or odd?arrow_forwardLet f(x)=7x²-2x and g(x) = 5x+3.

- 1. Suppose the domain of discourse is kinds of minerals. Let A be kinds of minerals that dissolve in acid, let S be minerals that can be scratched by an iron nail, and let C be minerals that are clear. Write expressions using set operations that represent the following sets of minerals: (a) Minerals that dissolve in acid and can be scratched by an iron nail. (b) Minerals that dissolve in acid and are not clear. (c) Minerals that are either clear or both dissolve in acid but cannot be scratched by an iron nail. (d) Minerals that are neither dissolvable in acid nor scratable by an iron nail. (e) Minerals that are either both dissolvable in acid and scratchable by an iron nail or both dissolvable in acid and not clear.arrow_forwardExpress the integrand as a sum of partial fractions and evaluate the integral. 2 32s+ 32 (s²+1) (s-1)3 ds Express the integrand as a sum of partial fractions.
