Answer:
log 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite this by using a property of logs
log a - log b = log (a/b)
log(10) - log(2)
log(10/2)
log 5
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
The estimated answer is 11. First you round 16.8 to 17 because the decimal is above 5. Then you round 5.94 to 6 because the first decimal place is greater than 5. Lastly you subtract 17 minus 5 to get 11.
Let's say we placed dominoes close together such that they only fell over one way: to the right hand side. Let's call the dominoes A and B.
Domino A is to the left of domino B. If we push over domino A, then it will hit domino B to cause it to fall over as well. We have a mini chain reaction of sorts. The fall of A triggers the fall of B, but not the other way around.
For this problem, we can think of domino A as "Jillian gets a raise" and domino B as "she will buy a new car". The raise causes her to get a new car, but not vice versa.
Since we're told in the last sentence she definitely got the raise, this must mean she will definitely get the new car.
In terms of symbols, the law of detachment is stated as
- If P, then Q
- P is true
- Therefore Q is true
Side note: some books might use the term "modus ponens" instead of "law of detachment". They're the same thing.
