Question

Determine the truth value of the following statement:
Leonhard Euler was a famous mathematician and all prime numbers are divisible by 4.
True
False
I am soooooooooo confused on this problem and its probably easy as heck...

Answer 1

i cant wait til my college math class is OVER with! lmao

Answer 2

Key word here is "and"

Leonhard Euler was a famous mathematician is true

BUT, all prime numbers are divisible by 4 is false


So they BOTH need to be true for the statement to be true


So the overall statement is false.

Answer 3

see i told u it was so easy.... lmao. . god i feel DUMB!

Answer 4

break it up into two predicates.

\[p: \text{Leonhard Euler was a famous mathematician}\]\[q:\text{ All prime numbers are divisible by 4 }\]

Now your sentence is equivalent to \(p \wedge q\) , p AND q. Now, one of those is true p, but q is false. So the statement p ^ q is therefore false

Answer 5

don't be, you're probably over complicating it because that's what math loves to do to people lol

Answer 6

lol

Answer 7

See my explanation for example! Lots of overcomplicatedness!

Answer 8

looks like your having fun with this jerk polpak... lol

Answer 9

yea i just look at the problems i get and say "oh S*it... lol and wanna cry!

Answer 10

Hrm? You mean Kush? Nah. I'm done dealing with that.

Answer 11

ok back to my math problems.. i'm sure i will be back.. lol thank you both :)
