Paper For Above instruction

The given set of questions spans various mathematical concepts, including inequalities, graph interpretations, Venn diagrams, permutations, combinations, and probability. This comprehensive analysis aims to address each problem systematically, providing clarity and detailed reasoning to enhance understanding and problem-solving skills.

1. Solving the Inequality 8x + 6 > 7

The first problem involves solving the inequality 8x + 6 > 7. Subtracting 6 from both sides yields 8x > 1. Dividing both sides by 8 gives x > 1/8. Therefore, the correct answer choice is B, which states x > 1/8.

2. Identifying the Graph Equation

Given the options, the graph with a straight line passing through specific points can be interpreted by examining the slope and y-intercept. Assuming the graph's slope is 2 and y-intercept is 1, the equation y= 2x + 1 best fits. Hence, option B is correct.

3. Formulating the Inequality from a Sentence

Understanding the sentence "Twice a number increased by four is less than the difference of three times that number and five" translates into the inequality 2(x + 4)

4. Venn Diagram and Set Analysis for Travel Data

From the data: 31 visited Melbourne, 26 visited Brisbane, and 12 visited both. Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the number who visited either city (Melbourne or Brisbane) is 31 + 26 - 12 = 45. For Brisbane but not Melbourne, subtract those who visited both from total Brisbane: 26 - 12 = 14. Those who visited only one city are Melbourne only: 31 - 12 = 19, Brisbane only: 14, and neither city: 100 - (19 + 14 + 12) = 55. The Venn diagram confirms these figures.

5. Vacation Activities and Set Overlaps

With 24 total vacationers, 15 swim, 12 fish, and 6 do neither. The sum of swimmers and fishers minus those doing both equals the total who do either activity: 15 + 12 - x = 24 - 6 (who do neither). Solving gives x = 3, so three individuals both swim and fish. The regions in the Venn diagram would include 12 only swim, 9 only fish, 3 both, and 6 neither.

6. Permutations with Repetition of Letters C and D

Permutations with repetition for two letters, C and D, allow for CC, CD, DC, DD. Therefore, 4 permutations are possible. The answer is C, 4.

7. Number of Color Combinations for Parts

Given 35 combinations and colors, assuming combinations are sets with no rearrangement counted as different, the total number of colors can be calculated via combinations formula C(n, 3) = 35. Solving for n gives n = 7, so the number of available colors is 7 (option B).

8. Total Games in a Conference

For 10 teams, each plays every other exactly once. The total number of games equals the combination of 10 teams taken 2 at a time, C(10, 2) = 45. Thus, 45 games are scheduled each season, matching answer A.

9. Color Groupings in Rugs

The number of ways to select 5 colors from 7 without repetition (combinations) is C(7, 5) = 21. Since options differ, the calculation aligns with the total possibilities; however, the closest provided answer is 21, which corresponds to 120 with arrangements. Since the problem states combinations, the correct solution is 21, but the answer options suggest the permutation calculation, which is C(7,5) = 21. Hence, the best fit among options is 120 (A), assuming permutations rather than combinations.

10. Probability of Taking Mathematics Courses

Using the addition rule: P(Finite Mathematics or Statistics) = P(Finite Mathematics) + P(Statistics) - P(Both) = 20% + 30% - 10% = 40%. So, 40% of students take at least one of these courses.

Conclusion

This problem set covers crucial aspects of algebra, set theory, permutations, combinations, and probability, demonstrating their application across diverse contexts. Mastery of these concepts enhances quantitative reasoning skills necessary for advanced mathematical and real-world problem-solving.
