Suppose you want to prove a theorem of the form p → (q ∨ r). Prove that this is equivalent to showing that (p ∧ ¬q) → r.

You "distributed" the negation inside the parenthesis. Let's focus on the \lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) part.

We can distribute the negation inside the parenthesis by negating every term, and switching and with or, and vice versa. So, you have

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \equiv (\lnot p) (\lnot \wedge) (\lnot \lnot q)

Of course, writing \lnot \wedge is improper, I was just stressing the fact that we distributed the negation to every term in the parenthesis. So, since a double negation cancels out, you're left with

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \equiv \lnot p \lor q

which of course implies that

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \lor q \equiv (\lnot p \lor q) \lor q

Edit: I actually derived the expression in the opposite order, but since they are equivalent, it doesn't really matters where you start from and where you get to. Anyway, if you actually want to derive \lnot (p \wedge \lnot q) \lor r from (\lnot p \lor q), you simply have to negate the first parenthesis and distribute the negation as discussed.

ASAP Please!!<br><br>What is 25((-5/2)x+(1/2))?
Tresset [83]
Use the distributive property of multiplication.
25(-5x/2)=-62.5x, and 25(1/2)=12.5.
Add these together:  -62.5x + 12.5 (answer)

Can I have help with the question

Answer:

Midpoint = (3.5, 4.5)

Perpendicular bisector = y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

[] We can solve this using the midpoint formula:

-> See attached

[] Plug-in our coordinates and solve:

(\frac{7+0}{2} ,\frac{0+9}{2} )=(\frac{7}{2} ,\frac{9}{2} )=(3.5,4.5 )

[] Now we will find the slope to solve for the perpendicular bisector.

-> We will use slope-intercept form, see attached

\frac{9-0}{0-7}=\frac{9}{-7}

-> The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, so \frac{7}{9} will be the slope of or perpendicular bisector

-> Now we can solve for the equation by using y – y1 = m ( x – x1), were y1 and x1 are the coordinates of our midpoint

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} (x-3.5)

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18}

y = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18} + 4.5

y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
