Determine whether the stated conclusion is valid based on the given information. If not, write invalid. Explain your reasoning.
3. Given: If a number is divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 2. 12 is divisible by four.
Conclusion: 12 is divisible by 2.
SOLUTION:
If p → q is a true statement and p is true, then q. Here, a number divisible 4 is divisible by 2 also and 12 is divisible by 4. So, 12 is divisible by 2 is a valid statement by the Law of Detachment.
ANSWER:
valid; Law of Detachment
4. Given: If Elan stays up late, he will be tired the next day. Elan is tired.
Conclusion: Elan stayed up late.
SOLUTION:
If p is true, then q is true, but q being true does not necessarily mean that p is true. Elan could be tired because he worked out. So, the statement is invalid.
ANSWER:
Invalid; Elan could be tired because he worked out.

For this case we have the following function:
<span>w (x) = - 5 (x-8) (x + 4)
</span><span>Rewriting we have:
</span><span>w (x) = - 5 (x ^ 2 + 4x - 8x - 32)
</span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 - 20x + 40x + 160
</span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 + 20x + 160
</span><span>Then, deriving we have:
</span><span>w '(x) = - 10x + 20
</span><span>We equal zero and clear x:
</span><span>0 = -10x + 20
</span><span>10x = 20
</span><span>x = 20/10
</span><span>x = 2 seconds
</span><span>Substituting values:
</span><span>w (2) = - 5 (2-8) (2 + 4)
</span><span>w (2) = - 5 (-6) (6)
</span><span>w (2) = 180 meters
</span>Answer:
The maximum height that the stone will reach is:
w (2) = 180 meters
Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x
7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21
Ni: 7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg
Zn: 2x=2*0.21=0.42≈0.4 kg
Cu: 9x=9*0.21=1.89 ≈1.9 kg
Check 1.5+0.4+1.9 =3.8 True
Probability of an egg coming out of the boiling process with a cracked shell:
Answer:
25cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A square has 4 equal sides so each side will be 20/4 = 5cm
Easily calculate the area by taking 5 x 5 = 25cm^2
