III) If the cat has claws, then the cat can scratch the furniture. a. I and II are equivalent b. I and III are equivalent c. II and III are equivalent d. I, II, and III are equivalent e. None are equivalent (Points : 4) 1 solutions Answer 422672 by MathLover1(6638)   on 2012-11-15 22:47:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!the statements are: I) If the cat does not have claws, then the cat cannot scratch the furniture. II) If the cat can scratch the furniture, then the cat has claws. III) If the cat has claws, then the cat can scratch the furniture. you can solve this using truth tables. you would do so as follows: p = cat has claws q = cat scratches furniture ~p->~q = I q->p = II p->q = III truth table: p q ~p ~q ~p->~q q->p p->q T T F F T T T T F F T T T F F T T F F F T F F T T T T T  from the truth tables, it appears that ~p->~q is equivalent to q->p because their truth tables are the same. that means that I is equivalent to II III is not equivalent to either one of them because its truth table is different. if we examine the statement, we will see why this is so. the statement are, once again: I) If the cat does not have claws, then the cat cannot scratch the furniture. II) If the cat can scratch the furniture, then the cat has claws. III) If the cat has claws, then the cat can scratch the furniture. statement II looks like it is the contrapositive of statement I. statement I says: if no claws, then no scratch furniture. statement II says: if scratch furniture, then claws. if the statement is: if no claws, then no scratch furniture then the contrapositive to that statement is: if scratch furniture, then claws. if the statement is: if scratch furniture, then claws then the contrapositive to that statement is: if no claws, then no scratch furniture. the statement and its contrapositive are equivalent which means if the statement is true then the contrapositive is also true and vice versa. this is the case between statements I and II. statement III says: if claws, then scratch furniture. the contrapositive to this would be. if no scratch furniture, then no claws. all 3 statements are: I = if no claws, then no scratch furniture II = if scratch furniture, then claws. III = if claws, then scratch furniture. the contrapositive to statement III is: if no scratch furniture, then no claws neither I or II are the contrapositive to statement III, therefore the only equivalent statement are I and II. It's a little convoluted, but that's the way it works out. Use of the truth tables can make sense of the insensible, assuming you know how to use them. p->q is only false if p is true and q is false. q->p is only false if q is true and p is false. ~p->~q is only false if ~p is true and ~q is false. ~q->~p is only false if ~q is true and ~p is false. that's the truth table for the implied statement.l

given:
line that passes through (4,0)
you got which is slope-intercept form where slope and y-intercept is
now find an equation in point-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point

 Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is (its from the slope of which is also ). Also since the unknown line goes through (4,0), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula Point-Slope Formula: where m is the slope and (,) is the given point Plug in , , and Distribute Multiply Add to both sides to isolate y Make into equivalent fractions with equal denominators Combine the fractions Reduce any fractions So the equation of the line that is parallel to and goes through (,) is So here are the graphs of the equations and graph of the given equation (red) and graph of the line (green) that is parallel to the given graph and goes through (,)

(a) make a sketch of what is happening (b) When will the rocket be 550 feet from the ground solution: .........the rocket be 550 feet from the ground when it goes up or ........the rocket be 550 feet from the ground when it goes down after it reaches maximum height (c) After how many seconds will the rocket strike the ground? solution: or .......the rocket strike the ground in ; on a graph, that will be a point (,)
