Your answer should be -2
Use PEMDAS if confused!
Parentheses
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction.
You would first calculate the number in between your parentheses which would give you -1. Then do -1 to the power of 4(-1^4) which still gives you -1 and then multiply it by 2 which should give you your answer -2. :)
Hope this helps.
Answer: then q→r
Explanation:
If p → q
and q →r , then you can use the law of transitivity to conclude
q→r.
That is a basic law of sillogisms.
An example will help you to understand the transivity law:
Make p, stand for 3 > 3/4, q stand for 3/4 > 15 / 20, the you can conclude that 3 > 15 / 20.
3 > 3/4
3 /4 > 15 / 20
Then, 3 > 15 /20.
This is, from the fact that you know that 3 is gretar than 3/4 and that 3/4 is greater than 15/20, you can conclude that 3 > 15 / 20. That is transitivity and is a law of logic, which you can use to get conclusions.
The answer is M is about -3.74
3.50 x 3 = 10.50
6.85 x 2 = 13.70
10.50 + 13.70 = 24.20
