Answer:

~ is for negation

^ is for "and"

v is for "or"

=> for "if then"

<=> for "if and only if"

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) ~P (negation of P)

I didn't buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

(b) P v Q (P is in disjunction Q)

I have either bought a lottery ticket this weekend or won the million dollar jackpot.

(c) P => Q (Q is a consequence of P)

I won the million dollar jackpot because I bought a lottery ticket this weekend.

(d) P ^ Q (P is in conjunction with Q)

I bought a lottery ticket this weekend, and I won the million dollar jackpot.

(e) P <=> Q (P and Q are dependent on each other)

If only I had bought a lottery ticket this weekend, I would have won the million dollar jackpot.

(f) ~P => ~Q (negation of Q is a consequence of negation of P)

I didn't win the million dollar jackpot because I didn't buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

(g) ~P ^ ~Q (negation of P is in conjunction with negation of Q)

I neither bought a lottery ticket this weekend nor won the million dollar jackpot.

(h) ~P v (P ^ Q)

This is logically equivalent to (~P v P) ^ (~P v Q) (negation of P is in disjunction with P, and also with disjunction with Q), and can be best expressed as:

It didn't matter that I bought a jackpot ticket or not, I won the million dollar jackpot.

natka813 [3]

Answer: $1090

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Caroline won $205000 in a lottery and then paid $96000 in taxes, the remaining amount will be:

= $205000 - $96000

= $109000

The interest that the account will earn after just 6 months will be:

Interest = PRT

= 109000 × 2% × 6/12

= 109000 × 0.02 × 0.5

= $1090

Solve this problem using the proper formula. A carpenter is building a bookcase the perimeter of the top is 108 in. What length
lapo4ka [179]
Assuming the length is y and the width is x
Perimeter = y + y + x + x
                = 2y +2x
                = 2 (y + x)
if the is 8 and the perimeter is 108
   108 = 2 (y +8)
    108/2 = y+8
    54    = y +8
    54 - 8 = y
    46 = y

Length = 46 inches
