Question

Use the Law of Syllogism to write a new conditional statement that follows from the pair of true statements.
text  If  end text x squared greater than 100 comma text  then  end text x squared greater than 64
text  If  end text x greater than 10 comma text  then  end text x squared greater than 100

hintHint:

Law of Syllogism states that:
text  1) if  end text p not stretchy rightwards arrow q text  is true  end text
text  2) If  end text q not stretchy rightwards arrow r text  is true  end text
then we can conclude that p not stretchy rightwards arrow  r is also true.

The correct answer is: Hence, the new conditional statement is “If 𝑥 > 10, then 𝑥2 > 64”.


    It is given that: If 𝑥2 > 100,then 𝑥2 > 64 and If 𝑥 > 10, then 𝑥2 > 100. So if we take
    p = 𝑥 > 10
    p = 𝑥 > 10
    r = 𝑥2 > 64
    So can write the given statement “If 𝑥 > 10, then 𝑥2 > 100” as p not stretchy rightwards arrow q and the statement “If 𝑥2 >
    100, then 𝑥2 > 64” can be written as q not stretchy rightwards arrow  r.
    So, we can conclude that p  r which means that If 𝑥 > 10, then 𝑥2 > 64.
    Final Answer: 
    Hence, the new conditional statement is “If 𝑥 > 10, then 𝑥2 > 64”.
