Show that each of these conditional statements is a tautology by using truth tables. a) [¬p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q b) [(p → q) ∧ (q → r)

nlexa [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

To show that a statement is a tautology using truth table - is to show that all the entries in the expression are truths T.

We can do this by taking each statement, expression by expression. For example, to show that

[~p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q

is a tautology, knowing we have 3 columns, we have 2^3 = 8 rows. We start by putting putting truth values for p, q, and r respectively

Next, we find ~p, then find (p ∨ q), then find ~p ∧ (p ∨ q), before finally arriving at the required [~p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q

TERMINOLOGIES AND SYMBOLS

- T means Truth

- F means False

- ~p means negation of p.

~p is F if p is T, and vice versa

- ∧ means conjunction.

p ∧ q is T only if p is T and q is T.

- ∨ means disjunction.

p ∨ q is T if either p or q is T.

- → is for conditional 'if then'

p → q is T if both p and q are T, or both p and q are F, or p is F and q is T, otherwise, it is F.

A cylindrical can without a top is made to contain 25 3 cm of liquid. What are the dimensions of the can that will minimize the

Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the radius of the can is 1.71 cm and height of the can is 2.72 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the volume of cylindrical can with out top is 25 cm³.

Consider the height of the can be h and radius be r.

The volume of the can is V= $\pi r^2h$

According to the problem,

$\pi r^2 h=25$

$\Rightarrow h=\frac{25}{\pi r^2}$

The surface area of the base of the can is = $\pi r^2$

The metal for the bottom will cost $2.00 per cm²

The metal cost for the base is =$(2.00× $\pi r^2$ )

The lateral surface area of the can is = $2\pi rh$

The metal for the side will cost $1.25 per cm²

The metal cost for the base is =$(1.25× $2\pi rh$ )

$=\$2.5 \pi r h$

Total cost of metal is C= 2.00 $\pi r^2$ + $2.5 \pi r h$

Putting $h=\frac{25}{\pi r^2}$

$\therefore C=2\pi r^2+2.5 \pi r \times \frac{25}{\pi r^2}$

$\Rightarrow C=2\pi r^2+ \frac{62.5}{ r}$

Differentiating with respect to r

$C'=4\pi r- \frac{62.5}{ r^2}$

Again differentiating with respect to r

$C''=4\pi + \frac{125}{ r^3}$

To find the minimize cost, we set C'=0

$4\pi r- \frac{62.5}{ r^2}=0$

$\Rightarrow 4\pi r=\frac{62.5}{ r^2}$

$\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{62.5}{ 4\pi}$

⇒r=1.71

Now,

$\left C''\right|_{x=1.71}=4\pi +\frac{125}{1.71^3}>0$

When r=1.71 cm, the metal cost will be minimum.

Therefore,

$h=\frac{25}{\pi\times 1.71^2}$

⇒h=2.72 cm

Therefore the radius of the can is 1.71 cm and height of the can is 2.72 cm.

Of the cars sold during the month of July, 89 had air conditioning, 99 had an automatic transmission, and 74 had power steering.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

There are a total of 23 cars with air conditioning and automatic transmission but not power steering

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the cars that have Air conditioning, B the cars that have Automatic transmission and C the cars that have pwoer Steering. Lets denote |D| the cardinality of a set D.

Remember that for 2 sets E and F, we have that

$|E \cup F| = |E| + |F| - |E \cap F|$

Also,

|E| = |E ∩F| + |E∩F^c|

We now alredy the following:

|A| = 89

|B| = 99

|C| = 74

$|A \cap B \cap C| = 5$

|(A \cup B \cup C)^c| = 24

|A \ (B U C)| = 24 (This is A minus B and C, in other words, cars that only have Air conditioning).

|B \ (AUC)| = 65

|C \ (AUB)| = 26

$|B \cap C| = 11$

We want to know |(A∩B) \ C|. Lets calculate it by taking the information given and deducting more things

For example:

99 = |B| = |B ∩ C| + |B∩C^c| = 11 + |B∩C^c|

Therefore, |B∩C^c| = 99-11 = 88

And |A ∩ B ∩ C^c| = |B∩C^c| - |B∩C^c∩A^c| = |B∩C^c| - |B \ (AUC)| = 88-65 = 23.

This means that the amount of cars that have both transmission and air conditioning but now power steering is 23.

Question 5: 10 pts

victus00 [196]

Answer:

6.7i + 7.4j

Step-by-step explanation:

if the angle starts from the East (direction of positive x-axis)

then the y (j) component is 10*sin(42) = 6.7

and x (i) component is 10*cos(42) = 7.4

A field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 1260 feet. The length is 100 feet more than width. Find the width and length of the r

lyudmila [28]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is:

$P=2L+2W$

Where $L$ is the length and $W$ is the width.

2. The length is $100ft$ more than the width, therefore:

$L=W+100$

3. Substitute values into the formula for calculate the perimeter and solve for the width:

$1260=2(W+100)+2W\\ W=265ft$

3. Then, the length is:

$L=265ft+100ft\\ L=365ft$

The answer is: The length is $365ft$ and the width is $265ft$
