anonymous · Answer

inductive reasoning

anonymous · Answer

I think it is a property.

anonymous · Answer

thats not a choice the choices are 

law of syllogism
addition property
symmeteric property 
or 
law of detachment

anonymous · Answer

syllogism

anonymous · Answer

it's stated really badly though.

anonymous · Answer

do you have a book or something you're supposed to be studying from?  where are these questions from?

anonymous · Answer

most syllogisms come in this form:
1. All men are mortal
2. Socrates is a man
3. Socrates is mortal

amistre64 · Answer

rename it to something generic

“If I do not quit (-q), 

then I am not giving up.(-g)

$$-q \implies -g$$

If I am not giving up,(-g) 

then I am not failing. (-f)

$$-g \implies -f$$

Therefore, If I do not quit, (-q)

then I am not failing.”  (-f)

$$-q \implies -f$$

transitive law?
