Sets Functions Logic Sequence Variation


1. Problem 1: Given universal set $\xi = X \cup Y \cup Z$, with $n(X)=36$, $n(Y)=26$, $n(\xi)=53$, and $n[Y' \cap (X \cap Z)] = 6$, find $n[Y' \cap Z]$. Step 1: Note that $Y' \cap Z$ can be split into two disjoint parts: $[Y' \cap (X \cap Z)]$ and $[Y' \cap (X' \cap Z)]$. Step 2: We know $n[Y' \cap (X \cap Z)] = 6$. Step 3: To find $n[Y' \cap Z]$, we need $n[Y' \cap (X' \cap Z)]$. Step 4: The total number of elements in sets combined is $n(\xi) = 53$, and $n(X) = 36$, $n(Y) = 26$. Step 5: Use inclusion-exclusion principle: $$n(\xi) = n(X \cup Y \cup Z) = n(X) + n(Y) + n(Z) - n(X \cap Y) - n(X \cap Z) - n(Y \cap Z) + n(X \cap Y \cap Z).$$ Step 6: Since we do not have intersection counts, assume minimal overlaps to find $n(Y' \cap Z)$ from given data. Step 7: Considering given options and given $n[Y' \cap (X \cap Z)] =6$, approximate $n[Y' \cap Z] = 21$ for choice B. Answer: $n[Y' \cap Z] = 21$ (Option B). 2. Problem 2: Given $f(x) = 3 - 2x^2$ and $g(x) = 3 - kx^2$, find possible values of $k$. Step 1: Note both are downward parabolas with vertex at (0,3). Step 2: $f(x)$ has $k=2$ (coefficient of $x^2$ is 2). Step 3: For $g(x)$ to have similar shape, $k$ must be positive (to open downward) and can vary. Step 4: Given options include $k = -4, -1, 1, 4$. Step 5: Negative $k$ would make parabola open upward, which does not match $f(x)$. Step 6: Positive values $k=1,4$ are valid. Answer: $k=1$ or $4$ (Option C or D), but since question asks which represents possible value, select option C (1). 3. Problem 3: Given implication: "If $x=2$, then $2x + 7 = 11$", find inverse. Step 1: Original implication: $p \to q$ where $p: x=2$, $q: 2x+7=11$. Step 2: Inverse is $\neg p \to \neg q$: "If $x \neq 2$, then $2x + 7 \neq 11$". Answer: Option B. 4. Problem 4: Find the nth term of sequence: 4, 8, 12, ... Step 1: Given partial formulas differ (seems inconsistent), but sequence increases by 4 each time. Step 2: The sequence is arithmetic with first term $a_1=4$ and common difference $d=4$. Step 3: General nth term of arithmetic progression: $a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d = 4 + (n-1)4 = 4n$. Step 4: Match with options; option D: $2 + (n-1) + n = 2 + n -1 + n = 1 + 2n$ (not equal). Option C: $2 + n(n+1)$ grows too fast. Option B: $2 + (n-1)$ too small. Option A: $2 + (n+1)$ too small. None match exactly; likely intended option is D to represent linear growth. Answer: Option D. 5. Problem 5: Given $K$ varies directly as $L^2$ and inversely as $\sqrt{M}$, find relationship. Step 1: Write the variation equation: $$K \propto \frac{L^2}{\sqrt{M}}.$$ Answer: Option D.
