Answer:

It is valid.

Venn Diagram is attached.

I also provided a truth table.

I also provided a couple of names this argument could be called.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this question.

Thank you kindly.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person is a poet, then that person is a loner.

If a person is a loner, then that person is a taxi driver.

If a person is a poet, then that person is a taxi drive.

This is in the form:

p->q

q->r

Therefore, p->r.

This is an example of a hypothetical syllogism.

The first thing my mind goes to when seeing this is the transitive property which says if A is related to B and B is related to C then A is related to C.

So this syllogism also has another name and it is called the principle of transitivity of implication.

Let p=person is a poet, q=person is a loner, and r=person is a taxi driver.

I'm going to make a truth table and compare the truth values of the propositions to the conclusion.

Since we have 3 variables, we are going to need 2^3=8 rows.

p     q       r        p->q    q->r      (p->q) and (q->r)        conclusion=(p->r)

T      T     T           T         T                     T                               T

T      T     F           T         F                    F                                 F

T      F     T           F         T                     F                               T  

T      F     F           F         T                     F                                F

F      F     F           T         T                    T                                 T

F      F     T           T         T                    T                                 T

F     T     F            T         F                    F                                 T

F    T     T             T         T                    T                                 T

So we are trying to see if we ever have the preposition part true and the conclusion false.

That doesn't happen so the argument is valid.

An equation of a parabola with its vertex at (-3,2) and focus at (-3,-1) written in general equation form
german
<span> we have that
standard form of equation for parabola:
 (x-h)^2=-4p(y-k)
(h,k) --------->being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
Parabola opens downwards because focus is below vertex on the axis of symmetry.
For given problem:
</span><span>vertex: (-3,2)
axis of symmetry: x=-3
p=distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry=2-(-1)=3
4p=12
Directrix: y=2+p=5
Equation:
(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)

the answer is </span>(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)
