Answer:

The fair charges $5 for admission. Tom is going to the fair today. Therefore, Tom will spend $5 for admission to the fair today.

The radius of a circle is one-half the length of the diameter of a circle. The diameter of a circle is 10 ft. Therefore, the radius of the circle is 5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Deductive reasoning or deduction, is one of the two basic types of logical inferences. A logical inference is a connection from a first statement to a second statement for which the rules of logic show that if the first statement is true, the second statement should be true. Basically one logical statement defines the base of the argument to reach the conclusion.

Here we can see that in first case:

The fair charges $5 for admission, so we know the fact that it charges $5 for the admission, now whoever goes to the fair will have to spend $5 to get in. Tom is going to the fair so Tom will spend$5 for admission to the fair. Therefore, this statement is deductive reasoning.

Case 2:

The radius of a circle is one-half the length of the diameter, this sentence is a fact. Now the diameter of a circle is 10ft so it is obvious that based on the previous sentence we will calculate the radius of the circle that is half of the diameter.

So only these two examples are based on deductive reasoning.

The correct answers are The fair charges $5 for admission. Tom is going to the fair today. Therefore, Tom will spend $5 for admission to the fair today.

The radius of a circle is one-half the length of the diameter of a circle. The diameter of a circle is 10 ft. Therefore, the radius of the circle is 5 ft.

The first example is inductive while the second is a fallacy in reasoning.

saveliy_v [14]

The problem can be translated into an equation that is something like 4/5 + 3/x = 1/2
we cannot have x equal to zero because the number can be infinite.
So the LCD here is 10x, so multiply both sides by that to get:
8x + 30 = 5x
Subtract 5x and 30 from both sides:
3x = -30
divide:
x = -10
The solution isn't zero so there is a solution.

Which equation represents a parabola that opens upward, has a minimum at x = 3, and has a line of symmetry at x = 3?

densk [106]

Answer:

$A.\ y = x^2 - 6x + 13$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that vertex equation of a parabola is given as:

$y = a(x-h)^2+k$

where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola and

$(x,y)$ are the coordinate of points on parabola.

As per the question statement:

The parabola opens upwards that means coefficient of $x^{2}$ is positive.

Let $a = +1$

Minimum of parabola is at x = 3.

The vertex is at the minimum point of a parabola that opens upwards.

$\therefore$ $h = 3$

Putting value of a and h in the equation:

$y = 1(x-3)^2+k\\\Rightarrow y = (x-3)^2+k\\\Rightarrow y = x^2-6x+9+k$

Formula used: $(a-b)^2=a^{2} +b^{2} -2\times a \times b$

Comparing the equation formulated above with the options given we can observe that the equation formulated above is most similar to option A.

Comparing $y = x^2 - 6x + 13$ and $y = x^2-6x+9+k$

13 = 9+k

k = 4

Please refer to the graph attached.

Hence, correct option is $A.\ y = x^2 - 6x + 13$
