Answer: The given logical equivalence is proved below.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to use truth tables to show the following logical equivalence :

P ⇔ Q ≡ (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P)

We know that

two compound propositions are said to be logically equivalent if they have same corresponding truth values in the truth table.

The truth table is as follows :

P Q ∼P ∼Q P⇔ Q ∼P ∨ Q ∼Q ∨ P (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P)

T T F F T T T T

T F F T F F T F

F T T F F T F F

F F T T T T T T

Since the corresponding truth vales for P ⇔ Q and (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P) are same, so the given propositions are logically equivalent.

Thus, P ⇔ Q ≡ (∼P ∨ Q)∧(∼Q ∨ P).

Find the unknown angle measure by solving for the given variable

tiny-mole [99]

A straight line is 180°. So you can do:

(15x - 4) + (5x - 8) = 180 Simplify

20x - 12 = 180

20x = 192 Find the value of x

x = 9.6

m∠ABD = 15x - 4 Plug in x = 9.6

m∠ABD = 15(9.6) - 4 = 144 - 4 = 140°

m∠DBC = 5x - 8 Plug in 9.6

m∠DBC = 5(9.6) - 8 = 48 - 8 = 40°

64 POINT QUESTION<br><br> √(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = 2 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way is to guess. We know that you can't have a square root of a negative number. This constrains x between negative infinity to 2. Testing 2 and -2, we see that it satisfy the equation.

The more systematic approach is shown below

$\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}=1 \\\sqrt{5-2x}-\sqrt{2-x}+\sqrt{2-x}=1+\sqrt{2-x} \\\sqrt{5-2x} = 1+\sqrt{2-x}$

$5-2x=(1+\sqrt{2-x})^2\\5-2x=1+2\sqrt{2-x}+2-x\\2-x=2\sqrt{2-x}\\1-0.5x=\sqrt{2-x}\\(1-0.5x)^2=2-x\\1-x+0.25x^2=2-x\\0.25x^2-1=0\\0.25x^2 = 1\\x^2 = 4\\x = +/-2$

x= -2, 2
