Question 1
The Law of Syllogism states that: If you accept “If P, then Q” as true and “if Q, then R” as true, “if P, then R” must also be true. As a real life example, consider: If I fail this assignment, my grade will drop. If my grade drops, I will not graduate with honors. Therefore, if I fail this assignment, then I will not graduate with honors. That this is a tautology may be proved from a truth table. An example of such a table, with a definition of tautology and the law of syllogism, may be found here. Question 2 ac divides bc therefore ac*q = bc where q = some unknown integer therefore a*q = b (dividing both sides by c) therefore a divides b, because q is an integer Question 3 Perhaps some can offer a better methodology in support of the proof. However: 12n – 24 < n2 – n adding "n" to both sides: 13n – 24 < n2 You may substitute 11 and 12 to confirm that they are true. 13 is obviously true, since 13-squared minus 24 is less than 13-squared. For any values above 13, n-squared will always be greater than 13 times n. |
