Determine which, if any, of the three statements are equivalent.

Mathematics

patriot [66]2 years ago

Answer:

Statement (b) is equivalent to statement (c), but neither is equivalent to statement (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F denote that "Fido is our fish's name" and let R denote that "Rex is our dog's name". The statements listed in this question would then become:

  • (a) F \implies R;
    F implies R.
  • (b) \lnot ((\lnot F) \land (\lnot R));
    not ((not F) or (not R)).
  • (c) F \lor R;
    F or R.

Apply de Morgan's Law \lnot (P \land Q) \iff (\lnot P) \lor (\lnot Q) to rewrite statement (b). Let P = (\lnot F) and Q = (\lnot R). By de Morgan's Law:

\begin{aligned} & \lnot ((\lnot F) \land (\lnot R)) \\ \iff \; & \lnot (P \land Q)\\ \iff \; & (\lnot P) \lor (\lnot Q) && (\text{by de Morgan's Law}) \\ \iff \; & (\lnot (\lnot F)) \lor (\lnot (\lnot R)) \\ \iff \; & F \lor R\end{aligned}.

In other words, statement (b) \lnot ((\lnot F) \land (\lnot R)) is equivalent to statement (c) F \lor R.

Statement (a) F \implies R isn't equivalent to F \lor R.

For example, when F = \texttt{True} and R = \texttt{False}, F \implies R would be false since \texttt{True} does not imply \texttt{False}. However, for the same F and R, F \lor R would be true since F = \texttt{True}\!.

an equilateral triangle and a regular pentagon have the same perimeter. Each side of the pentagon is 3 inches shorter than each
klemol [59]
The answer is 4.5 for the side length of the pentagon and 7.5 is the side length for the triangle because 7.5*3(3 sides) = 22.5 and 4.5*5(5 sides)= 22.5. The perimeter is 22.5

Find the slope of the function f ( x ) = 5x/2 + 3, by the definition of limit. Express answer as a fraction using the "/" key as
musickatia [10]

\huge{\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}}

Slope-intercept form is f(x)=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

\frac{5x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}x, so change the equation to represent this. f(x)=\frac{5}{2}x+3

Great! Now the function is in slope-intercept form, so we can just see that m, or the slope, is equal to \boxed{\frac{5}{2}}

A state is considering license plates that have two digits followed by four letters. Assuming no combinations are excluded, how
love history [14]

Answer:

32,292,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In your question, it asks how many license plate combinations we could make WITHOUT repeats.

We need some prior knowledge to answer this question.

We know that:

  • There are 26 letters in the alphabet
  • We can make 10 digits (0 - 9)

With the information we know above, we can solve the question.

Since we CAN'T have repeats, we would be excluding a letter or number for each license plate.

We're going to need to multiply each "section" in order to find how many combinations of license plates we can make.

We decrease by one letter and one number in each section since we can't have repeats.

Now, we can solve.

Work:

26*25*24*23*10*9 = 32,292,000

When you're done multiplying, you should get 32,292,000.

This means that there could be 32,292,000 different combinations of license plates.

Help please!!! I’ll mark u as brainliest
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the graph would still be a function, but a different function than if the values were all different. This would cause two of the values to be the same and have no slope on the line. Before, the function was quadratic, but now it would be quadratic until the two values are equal.
