Assignment 1 WORK NOW problems

13. (A U B) ^ C= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} ^ {1,3,4,6} = {1,3,4,6}

17. Compliment of A ^ B = {0,1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9}

23. a.) {1}

b.) {0,1}

c.) {0,1,1/2,1/3,1/4}

d.) none in this set

27. 18.9526 a.) Rounded to 3 decimal places is 18.923, b.) truncated to 3 decimal places is 18.952

39. 3+2=5

51. -6+4*3=-6+12=6

57. 6-[3*5+2*93-2)]=6-[15+2*1]=6-17=-11

65. (4+8)/(5-3)=12/2=6

67. (3/5)*(10/21)=.6*.47619=.2857

@& This is a decimal equivalent, not an exact answer. The exact answer would be a reduced fraction.*@

87. 6(x+4)=6x+24

8. True because rational and irrational numbers are considered real numbers.

11. A intersects ^ B = {4}

14. (A^B) U C = {4} U C = {1,3,4,6}

17. See above

20. Compliment of B ^ Compliment of C = {0,2,5,7,8,9} ^ {0,2,5,7,8,9} = {0,5,9}

59. 2*(3-5)+8*2-1=2*-2+16-1=-4+16-1=11

62. 2-5*4-[6(3-4)]=2-20-[-6]=-12

65. (4+8) / (5-3) = 12/2 = 6

68. (5/9) * (3/10) = .556 * 0.3 = 0.167

71. (3/4) + (2/5) = 15/20 + 8/20 = 23/20=1.15

74. (8/9) + (15/2) = 16/18 + 135/18 = 151/18= 8.389

@& You appear to be doing fine with these problems, but be sure to see my note on fractions vs. decimal approximations.*@

@& This is not the appropriate format for submitting your work.

You do not appear to have completed the Orientation and Startup for your course. You need to do that in order to learn how to submit your work.

The only thing that is required is that you complete the Query, using the conventions you learn in the Orientation and Startup.
