If x² = y³ , for what value of z does = ?
Answer:
z= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question given, we will follow the steps below;
= -----------------------------------------------------------------(1)
but applying the law of indices mᵃᵇ = (mᵃ)ᵇ
then
=
replace by in equation (1)
=
= --------------------------------------------------------------------(2)
but from the question x² = y³
replace y³ by x² in equation (2)
=
=
=
3z = 6
divide both-side of the equation by 3
3z/3 = 6/3
On the left-hand side of the equation, 3 at the numerator will cancel-out 3 at the denominator leaving us with just z while on the right-hand side of the equation 6 will be divided by 3
z= 2
~q → ~p
q → p
p → ~q
The logically equivalent statement to p → q is:
~q → ~p
The conditional statement:
p → q
p and q are propositions, then the conditional statement is can be written as:
So, always that p is true, q is also true, this means that if q is not true, then p must also not be true.
Then we can rewrite this using the negation propositions, which are:
~p and ~q
These mean:
Not p and Not q respectively.
Then the statement:
"If q is not true, then p is not true"
Is written as:
~q → ~p
So this is the logically equivalent statement.
If you want to learn more about statements, you can read:
Equation B: 4y = 2 − 4z
Step 1: −4(y) = −4(4 − 2z) [Equation A is multiplied by −4.]
4y = 2 − 4z [Equation B]
Step 2: −4y = 4 − 2z [Equation A in Step 1 is simplified.]
4y = 2 − 4z [Equation B]
Step 3: 0 = 6 − 6z [Equations in Step 2 are added.]
Step 4: 6z = 6
Step 5: z = 1
