Explanation It is given that the expression is ( 4 a − 1 2 b 3 4 b − 2 ) ( b − 1 2 a ) . The expression ( 4 a − 1 2 b 3 4 b − 2 ) ( b − 1 2 a ) can be simplified as follows. ( 4 a − 1 2 b 3 4 b − 2 ) ( b − 1 2 a ) = 4 a − 1 2 b 3 4 b − 2 × b − 1 2 a = 4 a − 1 2 − 1 b 3 4 + 2 × b − 1 2 [ ∵ a m a n = a m − n

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

The graph of f(x) is given below. Select each true statement about the continuity of f(x) at x = 1. Select all that apply: ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because it is not defined at x = 1. ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) does not exist. x+1 ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) ‡ f(1). x+→1 ☐ f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

2. Consider the following argument: (a) Seabiscuit is a thoroughbred. Seabiscuit is very fast. Every very fast racehorse can win the race. .. Therefore, some thoroughbred racehorse can win the race. Let us define the following predicates, whose domain is racehorses: T(x) x is a thoroughbred F(x) x is very fast R(x) x can win the race : Write the above argument in logical symbols using these predicates. (b) Prove the argument using the rules of inference. Do not make use of conditional proof. (c) Rewrite the proof using full sentences, avoiding logical symbols. It does not need to mention the names of rules of inference, but a fellow CSE 16 student should be able to understand the logical reasoning.
