Answer:

The statement (A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A) is a contingency.

The statement (P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P is a contradiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tautology is a proposition that is always true.

A contradiction is a proposition that is always false.

A contingency is a proposition that is neither a tautology nor a contradiction.

a) To classify the statement (A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A), you need to use the logic laws as follows:

(A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A) \equiv

\equiv (\lnot A \lor\lnot B)\land(\lnot B \lor A) by the logical equivalence involving conditional statement.

\equiv (\lnot B\lor \lnot A )\land(\lnot B \lor A) by the Commutative law.

\equiv \lnot B \lor (\lnot A \land A) by Distributive law.

\equiv \lnot B \lor (A \land \lnot A) by the Commutative law.

\equiv \lnot B \lor F by the Negation law.

Therefore the statement (A\rightarrow \lnot B)\land (B\rightarrow A) is a contingency.

b) To classify the statement (P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P, you need to use the logic laws as follows:

(P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P \equiv

\equiv (\lnot P \lor \lnot P)\land P by the logical equivalence involving conditional statement.

\equiv P \land (\lnot P \lor \lnot P) by the Commutative law.

\equiv (P \land \lnot P) \lor (P \land \lnot P) by Distributive law.

\equiv F \lor F \equiv F by the Negation law.

Therefore the statement (P\rightarrow \lnot P)\land P is a contradiction.

I need help on this ASAP pls 20 points
Semenov [28]

Answer:

1070cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

the cereal box represents a cuboid and it is closed hence a closed cuboid.

SA- Surface area

L- Length = 15

W- Width =4

H- Height =25

In a closed cuboid, there are going to be 6 faces( 3 pairs).

To find SA, we have to take the area of all faces and sum them up.

You can do this by carrying out the area of all faces and summing them up or you can use the formula:

SA of a closed cuboid=2(L x W) + 2(W x H)  + 2(L x H)

= 2(15 x 4) + 2(4 x 25) + 2(15 x 25)

= 2(60) + 2(100) + 2(375)

=120 + 200 + 750

=<u>1070cm2</u>

disa [49]

Answer:

y = -1/2 | x+3|

Step-by-step explanation:

y = f(x + C)  C > 0 moves it left

                 C < 0 moves it right

y = Cf(x)   C > 1 stretches it in the y-direction

                0 < C < 1 compresses it

y = −f(x)  Reflects it about x-axis

Our parent function is

f(x) = |x|

We want it 3 units left

y = f(x + 3)

y = |x+3|

Then reflected across the x axis

y = −f(x)

y = -|x+3|

Then shrink by 1/2 vertically

y = Cf(x)

y = -1/2 | x+3|
