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 succinetly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.
Two temps. At midnight last night, points A and B on the surface of Earth had exactly the same temperature and barometric pressure. If we treat the values of T and P as numbers without units, the values satisfy the equations
Find the values of T and P.

- 4. Let A {w, e, s, t, f, i, e, l, d, s, t, a, t, e}. (a) How many different words (they do not have to make sense) can you spell with the letters in A? (b) Is your answer from above the same as the cardinality of the powerset of A, i.e. of P(A)? (c) What is |A|?arrow_forwardwhat can the answer be pls helparrow_forward5. How many numbers can you make out of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 if the rule is that every digit has to be larger than the digit preceding it? For example 124 is ok, 122 is not ok. Every digit can be used only once, but you do not have to use every digit. A tree might help.arrow_forward
