Given the conditional statement ~p -> q which statement is logically equivalent?​

Any implication is logically equivalent to its contrapositive. In other words,

¬<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   ¬<em>q</em> ⇒ <em>p</em>

(¬ means the same thing as ~, "not")

To prove this: recall that

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   ¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>

This is because <em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em> is true if <em>p</em> is false, or both <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are true, i.e.

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   ¬<em>p</em> ∨ (<em>p</em> ∧ <em>q</em>)

Disjunction (∨ or "or") distributes over conjunction (∧ or "and"), so that

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   (¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>p</em>) ∧ (¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>)

but ¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>p</em> is always true, or a tautology, so we're just left with ¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>.

Then

¬<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   <em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>

…   ⇔   <em>q</em> ∨ <em>p</em>

…   ⇔   ¬(¬<em>q</em>) ∨ <em>p</em>

…   ⇔   ¬<em>q</em> ⇒ <em>p</em>

Solve for x: 3x − 24 = 81
LenKa [72]

3x - 24 = 81

Add 24 to each side.

3x - 24 + 24 = 81 + 24

3x = 105

Divide each side by 3.

(3x)/3 = 105/3

x = 35

Answer: x = 35

Find the real zeros of f(x); there are 4 zeros
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^4 - 3 x^3 - 21 x^2 - 2 x + 24 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with four terms:

(x - 4) (x - 1) (x + 2) (2 x + 3) = 0

Split into four equations:

x - 4 = 0 or x - 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 or x - 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x + 2 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or 2 x = -3

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer:  x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or x = -3/2
