Answer:

e. HS

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument:

[(P ≡ T) • (H • N)] ⊃ (T ⊃ ~S)

(T ⊃ ~S) ⊃ [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]

[(P ≡ T) • (H • N)] ⊃ [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]

is an instance of one of hypothetical syllogism (HS).

Hypothetical syllogism contains conditional statements for its premises.

Let

p = [(P ≡ T) • (H • N)]

q = (T ⊃ ~S)

r = [(H ∨ E) ∨ R]

The this can be interpreted as:

p ⊃ q

q ⊃ r

p ⊃ r

This interprets that:

If p then q

but if q then r

therefore if p then r

Thus, in logic HS is a valid argument form:

p → q

q → r

∴ p → r

Note that ⊃ symbol is used to symbolize implication relationships. This is used in conditional statements which are represented in the if...then... form.  For example p ⊃ q means: if p then q. So the type of Hypothetical syllogism used in this is conditional syllogism.

There are three parts of syllogism:

major premise

minor premise

conclusion

An example is:

If ABC is hardworking, then ABC will go to a good college.  

Major premise: ABC is hardworking.

Minor premise: Because ABC is hardworking , ABC will score well.

Conclusion: ABC will go to a good college.

Example of Hypothetical syllogism:

If AB is a CD, then EF is a GH

if WX is a YZ, then AB is a CD

therefore if WX is a YZ, then EF is a GH

This can be understood with the help of an example:

If you study the topic, then you will understand the topic.  

If you understand the topic, then you will pass the quiz.

Therefore, if you study the topic, then you will pass the quiz.

5,25,125 find 10th term
anastassius [24]

Answer:

9765625

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

r = 25 ÷ 5 = 125 ÷ 25 = 5

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term

a_{n} = a₁r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 5 and r = 5 , then

a₁₀ = 5 × 5^{9} = 5 × 1953125 = 9765625

1st. (2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

1st: 3*root6 + 5

2nd: 35*root2 + 115

3rd: 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4th: 17*root6 - 38

5th: 13*root10 - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify these expressions we need to use the distributive property:

(a + b) * (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

So simplifying each expression, we have:

1st.

(2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

= 4*root6 - 2*2 + 2*3 - root6

= 3*root6 - 4 + 9

= 3*root6 + 5

2nd.

(root 5 + 2 root 10) (3 root 5 + root 10)

= 3 * 5 + root50 + 6*root50 + 2*10

= 15 + 5*root2 + 30*root2 + 100

= 35*root2 + 115

3rd.

(4 root 6 - 3 root 3) (2 root 3 - 5)

= 8*root18 - 20*root6 - 6*3 + 15root3

= 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4rd.

(6 root 3 - 5 root 2 ) (2 root 2 - root 3)

= 12*root6 - 6*3 - 10*2 + 5*root6

= 17*root6 - 18 - 20

= 17*root6 - 38

5th.

(root 10 - 3 ) ( 4 - 3 root 10)

= 4*root10 - 3*10 - 12 + 9*root10

= 13*root10 - 30 - 12

= 13*root10 - 42

Are the expressions 5 ( x - 3) and 5x + 15 equivalent? use the distributive property to support your answer
ratelena [41]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: No, they aren't. If you look at 5 and multiply (distribute) it to <u>negative</u> three you will end up with -15. And 15 is not equal to negative 15.

I hope this helps!
