Question

When two statements are connected with the word or, the new statement is called a____. A. conjunction. B. disjunction. C. conditional. D. converse

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter B) disjunction.

Explanation:

In mathematics, a disjunction is a compound statement formed by connecting two statements with "or". It's worth remembering that a mathematical sentence is one that states a complete idea or a fact. Such sentences are called statements when it is possible to judge them true or false. A disjunction is only false when both statements forming it are false. For example:

- They will adopt a cat.

- They will adopt a dog.

--> They will adopt a cat, or they will adopt a dog.

Unless they adopt a completely different animal, such as an iguana, the statement is true. If they adopt a cat, it is true. If they adopt a dog, it is also true.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Disjunction.

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know what disjunction means.

When two statements are connected with the word 'or', the new statement is called a disjunction. In other words, a disjunction is a compound sentence formed by using the word 'or' to join two simple sentences.

As for other options:

• A conjunction is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'and'
• Conditional is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'if'
• The converse is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'no'.
