Answer:  The proofs are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to prove that the following statements are tautologies using truth table :

(a) ¬r ∨ (¬r → p)                              b. ¬(p → q) → ¬q

We know that a statement is a TAUTOLOGY is its value is always TRUE.

(a) The truth table is as follows :

r                 p                 ¬r                       ¬r→p                     ¬r ∨ (¬r → p)

T                T                   F                         T                                T

T                F                   F                         T                                T

F                T                   T                         T                                T

F                F                   T                         F                                T  

So, the statement (a) is a  tautology.

(b) The truth table is as follows :

p                 q                 ¬q                       p→q             ¬(p→q)          ¬(p→q)→q

T                T                   F                         T                      F                    T

T                F                   T                         F                      T                    T

F                T                   F                         T                      F                    T

F                F                   T                         T                       F                   T

So, the statement (B) is a  tautology.              

Hence proved.

Find the area of this trapezoid. Include the correct unit in your answer.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  70 {m}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a trapezoid

we want to figure out the area

remember that,

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  \frac{a + b}{2} h

where a and b represent the parallel lines and h represents the height

we get from the pic that a and b are 5 and 15 respectively and h is 7

so substitute:

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  \frac{5 + 15}{2} \times  7

simplify addition:

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  \frac{20}{2} \times  7

simplify division:

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  10\times  7

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  70

since we multiply two same units we of course have to use square unit

hence,

\displaystyle A _{ \text{trapezoid}} =  70 {m}^{2}

My teacher didn’t really teach this and um how do I do this
Lorico [155]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3.8 x 10^5 + 5.5 x 10^5 = 930,000 or 9.3 x 10^5

You just have to solve the equation and shorten the answer. For number one the answer is 930,000, so you have to make it into a number with decimals since a scientific notation number can not be equal to 10 or be greater. So you have to round the number to 9.3 not 93. To "round" it to 9.3 you have to move the decimal at the end of 930,000 to be in between the numbers 9 and 3. How many times you move the decimal to the left or right, that is the exponent of 10. So for 930,000 you moved the decimal 5 times to the left so the exponent for 10 is positive 5.
