Let p, q, and r represent the following statements"

1 answer:

4 0

In logic, own symbols are used in order to be able to represent the relations between propositions in a general and independent way to the proposition, in order to be able to find the relationship process that operates in the communicated message, the propositional logic.

For this purpose there are, among others, the following logical operators: conjunction (and) ∧, disjunction (or) ∨, denial (not) ¬, conditional (if - then) ⇒ and double conditional (if and only if, iff) ⇔.

So for this case we have:

Answer

a) Sam had pizza last night if and only if Chris finished her homework.

p⇔q

b) Pat watched the news this morning iff Sam did not have pizza last night.

r⇔¬p

c) Pat watched the news this morning if and only if Chris finished her homework and Sam did not have pizza last night.

r⇔(q∧¬p)

d) In order for Pat to watch the news this morning, it is necessary and sufficient that Sam had pizza last night and Chris finished her homework.

r⇔(p∧q)

e) q ⇔ r

Chris finished his homework if and only if Pat watched the news this morning

f) p ⇔ (q ∧ r)

Sam had pizza last night if and only if Chris finished his homework and Pat watched the news this morning

g) (¬p) ⇔ (q ∨ r)

Sam didn't have pizza last night if and only if Chris finished his homework or Pat watched the news this morning

h) r ⇔ (p ∨ q)

Pat watched the news this morning if Sam had pizza last night or Chris finished his homework

the sum of four consecutive integers is 2174. what are the integers? (continuation) the smallest of four consecutive integers is

timofeeve [1]

The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3

Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6

We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542

Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555

Ray has found that his new car gets 31 miles per gallon on the highwayand 26 miles per gallon in the city. He recently drove 285

Mkey [24]

Answer:

$Highway = 155\ miles$

$City = 130\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Highway = 31mi/gallon$

$City = 26mi/gallon$

$Total\ Miles = 285$

$Total\ Gallons = 10$

Required

Determine the number of miles driven on the highway and on the city

Represent the gallons used on highway with h and on city with c.

So, we have:

$c + h = 10$ ---- gallons used

and

$31h + 26c = 285$ --- distance travelled

In the first equation, make c the subject

$c = 10 - h$

Substitute 10 - h for c in the second equation

$31h + 26c = 285$

$31h + 26(10 - h) = 285$

Open bracket

$31h + 260 - 26h = 285$

Collect like terms

$31h - 26h = 285 - 260$

$5h = 25$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{25}{5}$

$h = 5$

Substitute 5 for h in $c = 10 - h$

$c = 10 - 5$

$c = 5$

If on the highway, he travels 31 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$Highway = 31 * 5$

$Highway = 155\ miles$

If in the highway, he travels 26 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$City = 26 * 5$

$City = 130\ miles$
