Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that if we have an original line and we are finding the perpendicular we know that the slope of the second line is gonna be the negative reciprocal of the first line and given that we know it must be perpendicular to the original line it will be heading downwards on the y axis with no slope so instead of y equals it will be x equals and we know that our x value of the point given is three so the answer is x = 3

State the converse, contrapositive, and inverse of each of these conditional statements a) If it snows tonight, then I will stay

marissa [1.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the condition statement $p \rightarrow q$ or equivalent "If p then q"

The rule for Converse is: Interchange the two statements.
The rule for Inverse is: Negative both statements.
The rule for Contrapositive is: Negative both statements and interchange them.

Part (A) If it snows tonight, then I will stay at home.

Here p is If it snows tonight, and q is I will stay at home.

Converse: If I will stay at home then it snows tonight.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: If it doesn't snows tonight, then I will not stay at home.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I will not stay at home then it doesn't snows tonight.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (B) I go to the beach whenever it is a sunny summer day.

Here p is I go to the beach, and q is it is a sunny summer day.

Converse: It is a sunny summer day whenever I go to the beach.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: I don't go to the beach whenever it is not a sunny summer day.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: It is not a sunny summer day whenever I don't go to the beach.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (C) When I stay up late, it is necessary that I sleep until noon.

P is I sleep until noon and q is I stay up late.

Converse: If I sleep until noon, then it is necessary that i stay up late.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: When I don't stay up late, it is necessary that I don't sleep until noon.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I don't sleep until noon, then it is not necessary that i stay up late.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

The square of the sum of two consecutive positive even integers is 4048 more than the sum of the squares of these two numbers. F

Burka [1]

Answer:

The numbers are 44 and 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x, x+2 ----> the two consecutive positive even integers

we know that

$(x+x+2)^{2} =4,048+x^{2} +(x+2)^{2} \\ \\(2x+2)^{2} =4,048+x^{2} +x^{2}+4x+4\\ \\4x^{2}+8x+4=2x^{2}+4x+4,052\\ \\2x^{2} +4x-4,048=0$

Solve the quadratic equation using a graphing calculator

The solution is x=44

see the attached figure

$x+2=44+2=46$

therefore

The numbers are 44 and 46
