Give two instances in which deductive reasoning does not work.

Mathematics
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Deductive reasoning does not work if the premises in which they are based are wrong or if the deduction is not based on any premises given.

Step-by-step explanation: Deductive reasoning works when we make logical assumptions or links between some given premises that are supposed to be true. One example could be assuming that all police officers work with guns, they work wearing a blue uniform and they use a black and white car. If a situation in which a person works in a blue uniform, using a black and white car and a gun is given, one can infer that this person is a police officer. But, if the premise that they work using guns is not always true, for example, you cannot say that this person is a police officer. This happens because the premise given is wrong. If one simply infers that the person in the example is a firefighter, without any logical assumptions, then it doesn't follow the deduction reasoning method.

1. Consider the function f(x) = 5x^3 - 31x^2 - 129x + 27
NeX [460]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

1.- f(x) = 5x³ - 31x² - 129x + 27

a) f(9) = 5(9)³ - 31(9)² - 129(9) + 27

   f(9) = 5(729) - 31(81) - 1161 + 27

   f(9) = 3645 - 2511 - 1161 + 27

   f(9) = 0

b.- I will use synthetic division

                        5   - 31  -129  + 27       9

                               45   126  -27                            

                        5     14     -3       0

    Trinomial = 5x² + 14x - 3

Factor               5x² + 15x - 1x - 3

                        5x(x + 3) - 1(x + 3)

b)                           (x + 3)(5x - 1)

                       x₂ + 3 = 0          5x₃ - 1 = 0

                       x₂ = -3                 x₃ = 1/5

c) The roots are x₁ = 9, x₂ = -3 and x₃ = 1/5

2.-  f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 8      factor = 3x - 4

                                     x    + 2

                       3x - 4    3x² + 2x - 8

                                   -3x² + 4x

                                     0    +6x - 8

                                           -6x  + 8

                                                      0  Remainder

As the remainder was "0", 3x - 4 is a factor of 3x² + 2x - 8

PLEASEHELP ME 98 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST PERSON
agasfer [191]

Answer:

$857 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2006​, the amount of money spent at restaurants in a certain country has increased at a rate of 5​% each year. In 2006​, about ​$580 billion was spent at restaurants.

2014-2006=8 so 2014 is 8 years from 2006

If the trend​ continues, the amount of money spent at restaurant in 2014 will be (1.05)^8 times that of the amount in 2006:

$580*(1.05)^8 = $856.9

About ​<u>$857</u> billion will be spent at restaurants in 2014 if the trend continues.
