Determine whether the stated conclusion is valid based on the given information. If not, write invalid. Explain your reasoning.
3. Given: If a number is divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 2. 12 is divisible by four.
Conclusion: 12 is divisible by 2.
SOLUTION:
If p → q is a true statement and p is true, then q. Here, a number divisible 4 is divisible by 2 also and 12 is divisible by 4. So, 12 is divisible by 2 is a valid statement by the Law of Detachment.
ANSWER:
valid; Law of Detachment
4. Given: If Elan stays up late, he will be tired the next day. Elan is tired.
Conclusion: Elan stayed up late.
SOLUTION:
If p is true, then q is true, but q being true does not necessarily mean that p is true. Elan could be tired because he worked out. So, the statement is invalid.
ANSWER:
Invalid; Elan could be tired because he worked out.

Given the function f(x)=-3x^3+9x^2-2x+3 what part of the function indicates that the left end starts at the top of the graph
The negative sign in the cubed term.
Answer:
X= 50°
Y= 70°
Z= 30°
BDE= 30°
2BDE= 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x -70 )+z+(2x+20)=180...(sum of angle on a straight line)
2x -70 = BDE... alternate angles
Y + (2x-70)+(50+x-20) = 180...(sum of angles in a triangle)
X-20 = z ... alternate and opposite angles
(2x -70 )+z+(2x-+20)=180
2x-70 + x-20 +2x +20= 180
5x -70= 180
5x = 250
X= 50°
X-20 = z
50-20= z
30° = z
2x -70 = BDE
2(50) -70 = BDE
100-70 = BDE
30°= BDE
Y + (2x-70)+(50+x-20)
Y + 100-70 +50 +50 -20 = 180
Y + 200-90=180
Y= 70°
2BDE = 2*30
2BDE= 60°
