What type of logic statement was used to state the Corresponding Angle Postulate and the related theorems?
the logical structure of the formulation of the CAP is on the form "p implies q", or "If p, then q". In symbols: p => q with p being the statement "l and l' are lines cut by a transversal t in such a way that two corresponding angles are congruent" and q the statement "l is parallel to l'" It's corollarys are also on this form, obviously with other p and q. Not sure if this is what you were looking for.
What is the GCF and LCM of the following numbers where p q and r are distinct primes?
The GCF is 1. The LCM is p x q x r.
Is the product of two prime numbers is always composite?
Yes, it is always. Assume temporarily that the product of two prime numbers is not always composite. This implies that that at least one product of prime numbers is also prime. Now, say two different prime numbers p and q, when multiplied, equal r. If r is a prime number, then r's only positive factors are 1 and r. But 1 is not a prime number. This contradicts that both p and q are prime (because either p or q MUST be 1). Therefore, the product of two prime numbers is always composite.
The sum of p and q is the of the middle term of a trinomial?
coefficient
Can 2 be the GCF of two even numbers?
Yes, if they have no other common factors.
What does the statement p arrow q mean?
It means the statement P implies Q.
What is the contrapositive of the contrapositive?
Given two propositions, p and q, start out with p implies q. For example if a number is even it is a multiple of 2. So we are saying even implies multiple of 2. Now the contrapositive is not p implies not q so if a number is not even it is not a multiple of 2. Or if not p then not q. The contrapositive of the contrapositive would negate a negation so that would make it positive. If not (not p) then not(not q) or in other words, you are back where you started, p implies q.
What is a syloogism?
sylogism is a law of geometry that states that ifp implies q and q implies r then p implies rhope this is what you were looking for :-)
What is the law of modus tollens?
It in Math, (Geometry) If p implies q is a true conditional statement and not q is true, then not p is true.
Prove that if a and b are rational numbers then a multiplied by b is a rational number?
If a is rational then there exist integers p and q such that a = p/q where q>0. Similarly, b = r/s for some integers r and s (s>0) Then a*b = p/q * r/s = (p*r)/(q*s) Now, since p, q r and s are integers, p*r and q*s are integers. Also, q and s > 0 means that q*s > 0 Thus a*b can be expressed as x/y where p and r are integers implies that x = p*r is an integer q and s are positive integers implies that y = q*s is a positive integer. That is, a*b is rational.
Construct a truth table for p and q if and only if not q?
Construct a truth table for ~q (p q)
If p q and q r then p r. Converse statement B.A syllogism C.Contrapositive statement D.Inverse statement?
Converse: If p r then p q and q rContrapositive: If not p r then not (p q and q r) = If not p r then not p q or not q r Inverse: If not p q and q r then not p r = If not p q or not q r then not p r
What are the different types of statements?
there are 32 types of thesis statements possible
What is is called when a conditional and its converse are true and they are written as a single true statement?
It is an if and only if (often shortened to iff) is usually written as p <=> q. This is also known as Equivalence. If you have a conditional p => q and it's converse q => p we can then connect them with an & we have: p => q & q => p. So, in essence, Equivalence is just a shortened version of p => q & q => p .
What is the sum or difference of p and q?
The sum of p and q means (p+q). The difference of p and q means (p-q).
What is the truth table for p arrow q?
Not sure I can do a table here but: P True, Q True then P -> Q True P True, Q False then P -> Q False P False, Q True then P -> Q True P False, Q False then P -> Q True It is the same as not(P) OR Q
What is q²-p² divided by q-p?
q + p
