5^7 ''''''''=______ 5^4 a] 5^11 b] 15 c] 5^3

The symbol ⊕ is used to denote exclusive or, so p ⊕ q ≡ (p v q) ^ ~ (p ^ q).

Elan Coil [88]

I'll use text forms of the logical symbols because copying/pasting on mobile is annoying.

⊕ = XOR

∨ = OR

∧ = AND

~ = NOT

↔ = IFF (meaning "if and only if")

→ = IMP (short for "implies")

and for logical equivalence I'll use a regular equal sign.

Then

p XOR q = (p OR q) AND NOT (p AND q)

(a) By definition of XOR, we have

p XOR p = (p OR p) AND NOT (p AND p)

= p AND NOT p

and this is tautologically FALSE.

(b) To rewrite XOR, first distribute the NOT over the AND using DeMorgan's law:

NOT (p AND q) = NOT p OR NOT q

Then we can interchange the AND and ORs using their respective distributive properties. That is,

p XOR q = (p OR q) AND (NOT p OR NOT q)

= (p AND (NOT p OR NOT q)) OR (q AND (NOT p OR NOT q))

= ((p AND NOT p) OR (p AND NOT q)) OR ((q AND NOT p) OR (q AND NOT q))

Both (p AND NOT p) and (q AND NOT q) are tautologically FALSE, so the truth value of either OR depends only on the other statements, so we have

p XOR q = (p AND NOT q) OR (q AND NOT p)

Recall the definition of IFF:

p IFF q = (p IMP q) AND (q IMP p)

Also recall that IMP is logically equivalent to

p IMP q = p OR NOT q

Then we have

p IFF q = (p OR NOT q) AND (q OR NOT p)

so that its negation is

NOT (p IFF q) = NOT ((p OR NOT q) AND (q OR NOT p))

= NOT (p OR NOT q) OR NOT (q OR NOT p)

= (NOT p AND q) OR (NOT q AND p)

The statements in bold match, so p XOR q is indeed equivalent to NOT (p IFF q).

Hector has a floor plan showing his new house. On the floor plan, his bedroom is 3 inches wide and 3

Nat2105 [25]

Question:

Hector has a floor plan showing his new house. On the floor plan, his bedroom is 3 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long. The scale of the floor plan is 1/4 inch = 1 foot. What is the actual length of Hector’s room?

Answer:

The actual length of Hector room is 14 foot

Solution:

Given that, On the floor plan, his bedroom is 3 inches wide and $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches long

The scale of floor plan is given as:

$\frac{1}{4} \text{ inch} = 1 \text{ foot }$

Therefore,

$1 \text{ inch } = 4 \text{ foot}$

To find: Actual length of floor

From given question,

$length = 3\frac{1}{2} \text{ inches}$

Converting the mixed fraction to improper fraction,

$length = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \text{ inches }$

Since, 1 inch = 4 foot

$\frac{7}{2} \text{ inches } = \frac{7}{2} \times 4 \text{ foot } = 14 \text{ foot }$

Thus actual length of Hector room is 14 foot

Is a vertical line a function

topjm [15]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation 1)A vertical line can be represented by the equation x=a, where a can be any number. If you think about it, there is no y in the function, this making it not a function.

Explanation 2) For a line to be a function it has to pass the vertical line test, so you will draw a vertical line through the function and if it touches more than one point then it is not a function. In this case if you draw a vertical line through a vertical line there are an infinite number of places where the lines intercept, so it is not a function.
