A student says that if the hypothesis is false, an argument cannot be valid. How do you respond ?

If a student tells me that an argument that has a false hypothesis cannot be valid, I would reply that we need to look carefully at the meaning of validity in the context of logic. In everyday speech, we tend to use “valid” to mean the same thing as “true” or “accurate.” In logic, this is not the way the term is used.

On a math test , you scored 69 out of a total of 75 points. what percent did you get ?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Simple, to find the percentage you scored on your test, take

What you got= 69
Total=75

Divide,

69/75=0.92

Finally, multiply by 100.

0.92*100=92

<span>You got a 92% on the math test.</span>

Answer:

The x-intercepts are x = 1 , x = 2 , x = 3

The y-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- To find the x-intercept of a function substitute f(x) by 0

- To find the y-intercept of a function substitute x by 0

- To find the factors of quadratic function use the long division

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

∵ (x - 3) is one of its factors

- Use the long division to find the other factors

∵ x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 ⇒ dividend

∵ x - 3 ⇒ divisor

# Divide the 1st term in the dividend by the 1st term of the divisor

∵ x³ ÷ x = x²

# Multiply x² by the divisor (x - 3)

∵ x²(x - 3) = x³ - 3x²

# subtract it from the dividend

∵ (x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6) - (x³ - 3x²) = (x³ - x³) + (-6x² + 3x²) +11x - 6

∴ The dividend is -3x² + 11x - 6

# Divide the 1st term in the dividend by the 1st term of the divisor

∵ -3x² ÷ x = -3x

# Multiply -3x by the divisor (x - 3)

∴ -3x(x - 3) = -3x² + 9x

# subtract it from the dividend

∵ (-3x² + 11x - 6) - (-3x² + 9x) = (-3x² - 3x²) + (11x - 9x) - 6

∴ The dividend is 2x - 6

# Divide the 1st term in the dividend by the 1st term of the divisor

∵ 2x ÷ x = 2

# Multiply 2 by the divisor (x - 3)

∴ 2(x - 3) = 2x - 6

# subtract it from the dividend

∴ (2x - 6) - (2x - 6) = (2x - 2x) + (-6 + 6) = 0

∴ (x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6) ÷ (x - 3) = x² - 3x + 2

∴ The factors of f(x) are (x - 3)( x² - 3x + 2)

- The factor (x² - 3x + 2) can factorize into two bracket

∵ The last term is positive and the middle term is negative than the

two brackets have the middle sign (-)

∵ x × x = x² ⇒ 1st terms in the two brackets

∵ 2 × 1 = 2 ⇒ 2nd terms in the two brackets

∵ 2 × x = 2x

∵ 1 × x = x

∵ 2x + x = 3x

∴ (x² - 3x + 2) = (x - 2)(x - 1)

∴ f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 2)(x - 1)

- To find the x-intercept put f(x) = 0

∴ (x - 3)(x - 2)(x - 1) = 0

- That means each bracket = 0

∵ x - 3 = 0 ⇒ add 3 for both sides

∴ x = 3

∵ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 for both sides

∴ x = 2

∵ x - 1 = 0 ⇒ add 1 for both sides

∴ x = 1

∴ The x-intercepts are x = 1 , x = 2 , x = 3

- To find the y-intercept put x = 0

∵ f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

∵ x = 0

∴ f(0) = 0 - 0 + 0 - 6 = -6

∴ The y-intercept is -6

White raven [17]

Answer:

$40\ \text{inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle = $5.7^{\circ}$

Let the vertical distance be is $y=4\ \text{inches}$

horizontal distance be $x$

So, slope is the tangent of the angle between the vertical and horizontal

$\dfrac{y}{x}=\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \tan5.7^{\circ}=\dfrac{4}{x}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4}{\tan5.7^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow x=40.07\approx 40\ \text{inches}$

The horizontal distance for flared sides is $40\ \text{inches}$ .
