can someone help me these logical reasoning questions pweez?(:
NUMBER 1 What is the disjunction of the following two statements? Statement 1: Plums are purple. Statement 2: Some shoes have shoelaces. Plums are purple, or some shoes have shoelaces. Plums are purple if and only if some shoes have shoelaces. If plums are purple, then some shoes have shoelaces. Plums are purple, and some shoes have shoelaces.
disjunction = OR
NUMBER 2 Which statement is logically equivalent to the following conditional statement? If it has four sides, then it is not a hexagon. If it does not have four sides, then it is not a hexagon. If it does not have four sides, then it is a hexagon. If it is a hexagon, then it does not have four sides. If it is not a hexagon, then it has four sides NUMBER 3 What is the contrapositive of the following statement? “If it does not have four legs, then it is a fish.” If it is a fish, then it does not have four legs. If it has four legs, then it is not a fish. If it is not a fish, then it has four legs. If it does not have four legs, then it is not a fish. NUMBER 4 What is the converse of the following statement? “If cows make milk, then chickens make eggs.” If chickens make eggs, then cows make milk. If cows make milk, then chickens do not make eggs. If cows do not make milk, then chickens do not make eggs. If chickens do not make eggs, then cows do not make milk. NUMBER 5 What is the conjunction of the following two statements? Statement 1: A hexagon has six sides. Statement 2: The angles within a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. A hexagon has six sides, and the angles within a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. A hexagon has six sides, or the angles within a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. A hexagon has six sides if and only if the angles within a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. If a hexagon has six sides, then the angles within a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. NUMBER 6 What is the inverse of the following statement? “If a shape has four sides, then it is not a triangle.” If a shape has four sides, then it is a triangle. If a shape is not a triangle, then it has four sides. If a shape does not have four sides, then it is a triangle. If a shape is a triangle, then it does not have four sides.
just join both the statements with OR
friend, one q at a time please... :)
lol okay so for #1 it would be A
yep you got that right !
#2 would be C right?
?
correct !
nd would #3 be C too?
yayyy!
#4 is A?
yes. contrapositive we just switch statements and negate. so you're like you already solved everything lol
yes #4 is A
@qweqwe123123123123111 ??
for #5 :- conjunction = AND
so its A
yes #5 = A
inverse you just negate the statements
B?
@ganeshie8
no, its C
ohh okay
statement : “If a shape has four sides, then it is not a triangle.” inverse : if a shape DOES NOT have four sides, then it is A triangle
okay I get it
great :) its lil tricky to see that, not not A = A. once u see it its easy :)
