A pizza costs $18.<br> a soda costs $2.50 .<br> Tax is 10%. What<br> is the total spent
horrorfan [7]
18+2.50=20.50 so tax is 10% so you can put that into a calculator as 20.50*0.10 which equals 2.05 so just add 20.50 and 2.05 which is 22.55 is your final answer

Determine whether the statements in (a) and (b) are logically equivalent.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The two statements are logically equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the statement that Bob is a double math and computer science major.

Y be the statement that Ann is a maths major.

Z be the statement that Ann is a double maths and computer science major.

The two statements written in terms of X, Y and Z now

a. Bob is a double math and computer science major and Ann is a math major, but Ann is not a double math and computer science major.

(x and y) and not z

b. It is not the case that both Bob and Ann are double math and computer science majors, but it is the case that Ann is a math major and Bob is a double math and computer science major.

not (x and z) and (x and y)

Noting that for logical statements,

Negation is represented by ~

And is represented by conjunction sign Λ

Or is represented by disjunction sign V

(x and y) and not z

(x Λ y) Λ (~z)

not (x and z) and (x and y)

~(x Λ z) Λ (x Λ y)

We can then simplify the second statement to obtain the first statement and prove the equivalence of both sides

~(x Λ z) Λ (x Λ y)

Using DE MORGAN'S theory, ~(x Λ z) = (~x) V (~z)

~(x Λ z) Λ (x Λ y) = ((~x) V (~z)) Λ (x Λ y)

Then applying the distributive law to the expression, we can open the bracket up

((~x) V (~z)) Λ (x Λ y)

= ((~x) Λ (x Λ y)) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

Opening the first bracket up further

((~x) Λ (x Λ y)) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= ((~x) Λ x) Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

The NEGATION law shows that (~x Λ x) = c (where c is a negation law parameter for when two opposite statements are combined in this manner, it works like a 0 in operation)

((~x) Λ x) Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= (c Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

But (c Λ y) = (y Λ c) = c (according to the UNIVERSALLY BOUND law, see how c works like a 0 now?)

(c Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= c V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= ((~z) Λ (x Λ y)) V c (commutative)

And one of the foremost IDENTITY laws is that (any statement) V c = c

((~z) Λ (x Λ y)) V c

= ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= (x Λ y) Λ (~z)

Which is the same as the first statement!

PROVED!!!

Hope this Helps!!!

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the
defon

Answer:

Price of widget to break even= $37.9

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the equation representing the amount of profit, y, made by the company, in relation to the selling price of each widget, x is;

y = -8x² + 348x - 1705

Now, the company will break even when it has made no profit. That is when, y = 0

Thus;

0 = -8x² + 348x - 1705

Rearranging,

8x² - 348x + 1705 = 0

Using quadratic formula ;

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

x = [-8 ± √(-348² - 4•1•1705)]/(2 x 8)

x = $5.63 or $37.87

We'll use $37.87 because it is the highest price for which no profit is made, and higher price means that we could sell least number of products to earn a certain amount of money.

We are told to approximate to nearest cent. Thus,

Price of widget = $37.87 ≈ $37.9
