    How Do You Calculate Currents Through Multiple Resistors in a Circuit?

    Homework Statement [/B] Use the following values: E = 12.0 V , R1 = 35.0 Ω , R2 = 22.0 Ω , R3 = 41.0 Ω , and R4 = 14.0 Ω . Find the following currents: the current I1 through the resistor of resistance R1 = 35.0 Ω the current I2 through the resistor of resistance R2 = 22.0 Ω the current I3...

    What are the compositions of relations S and R in set theory?

    Homework Statement Suppose that A = { 1, 2, 3} , B = { 4, 5, 6} , R = { (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 6)} , and S = { (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (6, 6)}. Note that R is a relation from A to B and S is a relation from B to B . Find the following relations: (a) S ◦ R . (b) S ◦ S−1...

    Does negating a set change it symbolically?

    So I have to prove "If (AxB)∩(BxA) ≠ ∅, then (A∩B) ≠ ∅." I wanted to prove by changing it's form. P = (AxB)∩(BxA) ≠ ∅ and Q = (A∩B) ≠ ∅ . The conditional statement is P implies Q and the new statement is not P or Q . P → Q = ¬ P∨Q They are equivalent. But how do I negate P? Would it be...

    Is P(A) ⊆ P(B) a Sufficient Condition for A ⊆ B?

    There's what I have so far. We assume that P(A) ⊆ P(B). This means that every element x that exists in P(A), also exits in P(B). By definition of a power set, x∈P(A) if x ⊆ A. Therefore, A∈P(A). Since P(A) ⊆ P(B), A∈P(B), meaning all x ⊆ A, x ∈ P(B). Furthermore, B∈P(B), meaning all x ⊆ B, x ∈...

    Disproving an incorrect theorem?

    So the proof is false so therefore the theorem is false or is the theorem already false to begin with, so proof would also be false...

    Disproving an incorrect theorem?

    Incorrect Theorem: Suppose x and y are real numbers and x + y = 10, then x != 3 and y != 8. (a) What’s wrong with the following proof of the theorem? Proof. Suppose the conclusion of the theorem is false. Then x = 3 and y = 8. But then x + y = 11, which contradicts the given information...

    Proofs involving Negations and Conditionals

    So here is what I have: If x∉B then x∉C So, we can assume x∈A\B and since A\B and C are disjoined, then x∈A\B∩C which is true since x∉C. Would this be correct or is there any error in my logic?

    Proofs involving Negations and Conditionals

    Suppose that A\B is disjoint from C and x∈ A . Prove that if x ∈ C then x ∈ B . So I know that A\B∩C = ∅ which means A\B and C don't share any elements. But I don't necessarily understand how to prove this. I heard I could use a contrapositive to solve it, but how do I set it up. Which is P...

    Electric charge is distributed inside a nonconducting sphere

    I don't understand how to get the charge density though and it's not even given to me in the problem, so how is that helpful?

    Electric charge is distributed inside a nonconducting sphere

    Homework Statement Electric charge is uniformly distributed inside a nonconducting sphere of radius 0.30 m. The electric field at a point P, which is 0.50 m from the center of the sphere, is 15,000 N/C and is directed radially outward. At what distance from the center of the sphere does the...

    Initial and Final Energy problem

    Homework Statement [/B] A 2.4 kg piece of wood slides on the surface shown in the figure . The curved sides are perfectly smooth, but the rough horizontal bottom is 31m long and has a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.27 with the wood. The piece of wood starts from rest 4.0m above the rough...
