Let's do 51 and 52.
51. The contrapositive has the same truth value as the original statement. That's opposed to the converse, which may or may not be true independent of the original statement.
The contrapositive of IF P THEN Q is IF not Q THEN not P. They're equivalent. Here that's If the cat is not female then it is not tricolor.
Answer: C
52.
For the statement to be true, the exponent must be zero:
Both positive 2 and negative 2 have a square of 4.
Answer: K
By the way, usually we assume 
so the restriction that 
isn't really necessary. Think of the definition of a polynomial or the binomial expansion:
For these common equalities to work when 
we need to define
Answer: An = 36 + 2(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
If the height of the tree grows by 2 inches every year, then the height of the tree is increasing in arithmetic progression. The The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
An = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 36 inches
d = 2 inches
Therefore, the explicit rule representing this situation is
An = 36 + 2(n - 1)
Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
33.24 / 12 = 2.77
44.80 / 16 = 2.80
41.10 / 15 = 2.74
(/ means divide)
