Answer:
tan 10 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
tan x = cot (90 - x) so:
cot 80 = cot (90 - 10)
= tan 10.
Answer:
12x-84y+24z
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
