On an island where knaves never tell the truth and knights always tell the truth, you meet 3 of the island's inhabitants: Fred,

George, and Quincy. You ask Fred, "Are you a knave?" Fred says the answer to the other natives, but you can't hear him. George turns to you and says that Fred denied being a knave. Quincy says Fred is a knave. How many of the three are knaves?

Answer:

There is one knave

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze the two possible scenarios, from the unheard Fred's answer

<u><em>- SCENARIO 1: Fred is a knave.</em></u>

If Fred is a Knave, he must have told to the other natives that he wasn't, <u>remember that Knaves will never tell the truth.</u> In that sense, George said that Fred denied being a knave, he would be telling the truth (Fred is a knight) and Quincy said that Fred is a knave, which would also be true (Quincy is a knight too).

<em><u>-SCENARIO 2: Fred is a knight</u></em>

If Fred is a knight, he must have told to the other natives that he wasn't a knave, he would be telling the truth. In this case, George would also be telling the truth by ensuring that Fred denied being a knave (Fred is a knight). However, Quincy would be lying to ensure that Fred is a knave. In this scenario Quincy is the knave

In conclusion, in both scenarios, there is only one knave.

If f(2) = 22 – 5, then what is the value of f(2) + f(5)?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

67

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information of f(2) = 22-5,  you can assume the equation will be f(x) = 11x-5. Using this, you can calculate f(5) by doing 11(5)-5, which is 50. 22-5 is 17, so 50+17=67
