Consider the following argument: If pigs have wings, then pigs can fly. If pigs are lighter than air, then pigs can fly. Pigs ha

ve wings or pigs are lighter than air. If pigs have wings or pigs can fly, then pigs don’t have wings. Therefore, donkeys can fly.
(a) Write this argument in symbolic form, using the variables listed below.

Pigs can fly p

Pigs are lighter than air q

Pigs have wings r

Donkeys can fly s

(b) Determine whether the argument is valid or not. Show your working.

Answer:

a ) If r ⇒ p

    If q ⇒ p

    r ∪ q

    If r∪p ⇒ ¬ r

   ∴ s

b) The argument is invalid

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument is invalid because we do not with precision if b), because we do not have enough information about it, and this is because the previous sentences does not mention information about the donkey. We cannot infer something when we do not have enough information.

Can you combine like terms without formally showing the distributive property? Explain.
blsea [12.9K]
Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.

What is 1/2 of 2 3/4?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

2 3/4 = 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4

1/2 of 11/4 = (11/4)(1/2) = 11/8

11/4 - 11/8 = 22/8 - 11/8 = 11/8

11/8, or 1 3/8 is your answer.

Find two complex numbers that have a sum of i10 a different of -4and a product of -29​
lianna [129]
<h2>-2+5i and 2+5i</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

   Let the complex numbers be a+ib\textrm{ and }c+id.

Given, sum is 10i, difference is -4 and product is -29.

(a+c)+i(b+d)=10i ⇒ a+c=0,b+d=10

(a-c)+i(b-d)=-4 ⇒ a-c=-4,b-d=0

a=-2,c=2,b=5,d=5

(a+ib)(c+id)=(-2+5i)(2+5i)=-4-25=-29

Hence, all three equations are consistent yielding the complex numbers -2+5i\textrm{ and }2+5i.
