Answer:

See the argument below

Step-by-step explanation:

I will give the argument in symbolic form, using rules of inference.

First, let's conclude c.

(1)⇒a by simplification of conjunction

a⇒¬(¬a) by double negation

¬(¬a)∧(2)⇒¬(¬c) by Modus tollens

¬(¬c)⇒c by double negation

Now, the premise (5) is equivalent to ¬d∧¬h which is one of De Morgan's laws. From simplification, we conclude ¬h. We also concluded c before, then by adjunction, we conclude c∧¬h.

An alternative approach to De Morgan's law is the following:

By contradiction proof, assume h is true.

h⇒d∨h by addition

(5)∧(d∨h)⇒¬(d∨h)∧(d∨h), a contradiction. Hence we conclude ¬h.

Answer:

a) P(c) = xc² + yc + z, and P(.15) = $124, P(.05) = 0, P(.17) = 0. Thus:

(#1) .0225x + .15y + z = 124

(#2) .0025x + .05y + z = 0

(#3) .0289x + .17y + z = 0

Subtracting #2 from #3: (#4) .0264x + .12y = 0

Subtracting #2 from #3: (#5) .02x + .1y = 124

Subtracting 1.2×#5 from #4: .0024x = -148.8 → x= -62000

Using this value of x in #5: -1240 + .1y = 124 → y = 13640

Using x and y in #1: -1395 + 2046 + z = 124 → z = -527

P(c) = -62000c² + 13640c - 527

b) To find the maximum of P(c), find a such that P'(a) = 0

-124000c + 13640 = 0

c = .11

At this price, his profit would be $223.20

Calculate the side lengths a and b to two decimal places.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$a=10.92 units$

$b=14.51 units$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that c=6 units

$\angle A=43^{\circ}$

$\angle B=115^{\circ}$

We have to find the side length a and b.

We know that sum of angles of a triangle =180 degrees

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180$

Substitute the values then we get

$43+115+\angle C=180$

$158+\angle C=180$

$\angle C=180-158=22^{\circ}$

sine law: $\frac{a}{sin A}=\frac{b}{sin B}=\frac{c}{sin C}$

$\frac{a}{sin 43^{\circ}}=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}$

$a=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}\times sin 43^{\circ}$

$a=10.92 units$

$\frac{b}{sin 115^{\circ}}=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}$

$b=\frac{6}{sin 22^{\circ}}\times sin 115^{\circ}=14.51$

$b=14.51 units$
