If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 then x is 0”.Let q: x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 r: x is 0.i To show that statement p is true we assume that q is true and then show that r is true.Therefore let statement q be true.∴ x2 + 4x = 0 x x2 + 4 = 0⇒ x = 0 or x2+ 4 = 0However since x is real it is 0.Thus statement r is true.Therefore the given statement is true.ii To show statement p to be true by contradiction we assume that p is not true.Let x be a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0.Therefore x3 + 4x = 0 x x2+ 4 = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 x = 0 orx2 = – 4However x is real. Therefore x = 0 which is a contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0.Thus the given statement p is true.iii To prove statement p to be true by contrapositive method we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false.Here r is false implies that it is required to consider the negation of statement r.This obtains the following statement.∼r: x is not 0.It can be seen that x2 + 4 will always be positive.x ≠ 0 implies that the product of any positive real number with x is not zero.Let us consider the product of x with x2 + 4.∴ x x2 + 4 ≠ 0⇒ x3 + 4x ≠ 0This shows that statement q is not true.Thus it has been proved that∼r ⇒∼qTherefore the given statement p is true.

6) (after 2.3) Consider the infinite system of linear equations in two variables given by ax + by = 0 where (a, b) moves along t
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given infinite system of linear equations is ax + by = 0

when (a,b) moves along unit circle in plane.

a) system having unique system (0, 0)

Since two of equation in thus system will be

1.x+0.y=0\\x=0

and

0.x+1.y=0\\y=0

It is clear that x = 0, y= 0 is the only solution

b) Linear independent solution in this system gives some set of solutions

1.x+0.y=0\\\x=0

and

0.x+1.y=0\\y=0

Vector form is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right] =I

c) for this equation if add 0x +0y = 0 to system , Nothing will change

Because [0,0] satisfies that equation

d) If one of the equation is ax + by = 0.00001

where 0.00001 is small positive number

so, the system will be inconsistent

Therefore, the system will have no solution.
