Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:we should turn the “facts” into logical expressions.

Step 2:Assign variables

Our variables are: b (for butler), c (for cook), g (for gardener), h (for handyman)

Step 3 . Let the value of true indicate that the person is telling the truth. For example, b = T means the butler is telling the truth. Then we can translate the statements as follows:

Step 4

We know all of these must hold. So we really want to know when (b→c)∧¬(c∧g)∧¬(¬g∧¬h)∧(h → ¬c) is true.

Step 5

Behold, another truth table task! If you work out the truth table, you see that this statement is only true when:

Step 6

Therefore we can say the butler and cook are definitely lying, but we can not determine if the gardener or handyman are lying. However, there are four variables in this problem. Instead, we can do this with some straight reasoning. Notice that:

If the butler is telling the truth, then by (a) the cook is telling the truth.

If the cook is telling the truth, then by (b) the gardener is lying.

If the gardener is lying, then by (c) the handyman is telling the truth.

If the handyman is telling the truth, they by (d) the cook is lying.

This leads to a contradiction (the cook can not be both telling the truth and lying)! Therefore the butler and cook must be lying. What about the gardener and the handyman? We don’t have enough information to figure out if they are lying. Since the cook is lying, we can’t use (b) to come to any conclusions about the gardener. Even if we are able to conclude that the gardener is telling the truth, we can’t use (c) to come to any conclusions about the handyman.

3x^2+42x+105=0 Find the solution<br><br>  <br>  <br> 0<br> 0
Nina [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we have to find the factors so

3x2 + 42x + 105

First we will multiply 105 by 3 = 315 then find factors of 315 which may add or subtract = 42

So 45 and 7

3x2 + 45x - 7x + 105

3x( x + 15) - 7(x - 15)

(3x - 7) and ( x - 15) are the factors

There is a problem please recheck the question

Let C = C1 + C2 where C1 is the quarter circle x^2+y^2=4, z=0,from (0,2,0) to (2,0,0), and where C2 is the line segment from (2,
trapecia [35]
Not much can be done without knowing what \mathbf F(x,y,z) is, but at the least we can set up the integral.

First parameterize the pieces of the contour:

C_1:\mathbf r_1(t_1)=(2\sin t_1,2\cos t_1,0)
C_2:\mathbf r_2(t_2)=(1-t_2)(2,0,0)+t_2(3,3,3)=(2+t_2, 3t_2, 3t_2)

where 0\le t_1\le\dfrac\pi2 and 0\le t_2\le1. You have

\mathrm d\mathbf r_1=(2\cos t_1,-2\sin t_1,0)\,\mathrm dt_1
\mathrm d\mathbf r_2=(1,3,3)\,\mathrm dt_2

and so the work is given by the integral

\displaystyle\int_C\mathbf F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r
=\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\mathbf F(2\sin t_1,2\cos t_1,0)\cdot(2\cos t_1,-2\sin t_1,0)\,\mathrm dt_1
{}\displaystyle\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+\int_0^1\mathbf F(2+t_2,3t_2,3t_2)\cdot(1,3,3)\,\mathrm dt_2
