Answer:

Marcia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Rob states that 'all numbers have an even number of factors'.

Marcia states that 'some numbers have an odd number of factors'.

Let us consider the number 36. Now, it is given that,

1 × 36 = 36

2 × 18 = 36

3 × 12 = 36

4 × 9 = 36

6 × 6 = 36

Since, the repeated factor is counted only once. So, the factors of 36 are given by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36.

This gives us that 36 has 9 factors and so, it has odd number of factors.

Hence, Marcia is correct.

No rob is incorrect because 8+8 equals 16 9+9 also equals 18 so they odds and even could make an even product

For each of the following, use logic laws to decide whether the statement is a tautology contradiction, or neither. a (a) (A B)

spayn [35]

Answer:

The statement $(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A)$ is a contingency.

The statement $(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P$ is a contradiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tautology is a proposition that is always true.

A contradiction is a proposition that is always false.

A contingency is a proposition that is neither a tautology nor a contradiction.

a) To classify the statement $(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A)$ , you need to use the logic laws as follows:

$(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A) \equiv$

$\equiv (\lnot A \lor\lnot B)\land(\lnot B \lor A)$ by the logical equivalence involving conditional statement.

$\equiv (\lnot B\lor \lnot A )\land(\lnot B \lor A)$ by the Commutative law.

$\equiv \lnot B \lor (\lnot A \land A)$ by Distributive law.

$\equiv \lnot B \lor (A \land \lnot A)$ by the Commutative law.

$\equiv \lnot B \lor F$ by the Negation law.

Therefore the statement $(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A)$ is a contingency.

b) To classify the statement $(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P$ , you need to use the logic laws as follows:

$(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P \equiv$

$\equiv (\lnot P \lor \lnot P)\land P$ by the logical equivalence involving conditional statement.

$\equiv P \land (\lnot P \lor \lnot P)$ by the Commutative law.

$\equiv (P \land \lnot P) \lor (P \land \lnot P)$ by Distributive law.

$\equiv F \lor F \equiv F$ by the Negation law.

Therefore the statement $(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P$ is a contradiction.

Al has twice as many cards as Bob, and Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. Together, they have 372 cards. How many cards

Musya8 [376]

Answer: Bob has 62 cards.

All has 124 cards.

Jane has 186 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cards that Bob has.

Al has twice as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that All has is 2x.

Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that Jane has is 3x.

Together, they have 372 cards. It means that

x + 2x + 3x = 372

6x = 372

x = 372/6

x = 62

The number of cards that Al has is

2 × 62 = 124

The number of cards that Jane has is

3 × 62 = 186
