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.

How do you illustrate<br>quadratic equation<br>in one variable?​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation

Quadratic equation is in the form

ax2+bx+c=0

Where

a, b, & c = real-number constants

a & b = numerical coefficient or simply coefficients

a = coefficient of x2

b = coefficient of x

c = constant term or simply constant

a cannot be equal to zero while either b or c can be zero

Examples of Quadratic Equation

Some quadratic equation may not look like the one above. The general appearance of quadratic equation is a second degree curve so that the degree power of one variable is twice of another variable. Below are examples of equations that can be considered as quadratic.

1. 3x2+2x−8=0

2. x2−9=0

3. 2x2+5x=0

4. sin2θ−2sinθ−1=0

5. x−5x−−√+6=0

6. 10x1/3+x1/6−2=0

7. 2lnx−−−√−5lnx−−−√4−7=0

For us to see that the above examples can be treated as quadratic equation, we take example no. 6 above, 10x1/3 + x1/6 - 2 = 0. Let x1/6 = z, thus, x1/3 = z2. The equation can now be written in the form 10z2 + z - 2 = 0, which shows clearly to be quadratic equation.

Roots of a Quadratic Equation

The equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 can be factored into the form

(x−x1)(x−x2)=0

Where x1 and x2 are the roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0.

Quadratic Formula

For the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0,

x=−b±b2−4ac−−−−−−−√2a

See the derivation of quadratic formula here.

The quantity b2 - 4ac inside the radical is called discriminat.

• If b2 - 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal.

• If b2 - 4ac > 0, the roots are real and unequal.

• If b2 - 4ac < 0, the roots are imaginary.

Sum and Product of Roots

If the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c

= 0 are x1 and x2, then

Sum of roots

x1+x2=−ba

Product of roots

x1x2=ca

You may see the derivation of formulas for sum and product of roots here.
