Categorize the following logical fallacy.

John Bardeen's work at the Advanced Institute for Physics has progressed so slowly that even his colleagues call him a plodder. Hence, it is prudent at present not to take seriously his current theory relating how strings constitute the smallest of subatomic particles.

a. Circular reasoning
b. False dilemma
c. Appeal to consequence
d. Ad hominem
e. Correlation implies causation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Ad hominem

Step-by-step explanation:

A fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.

However, a lot of people might actually think it to be true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include;

I. Black or white.

II. Non sequitur.

III. Appeal to moderation.

IV. Bandwagon.

V. Appeal to authority.

VI. Straw man.

VII. Oversimplification or hasty generalization.

VIII. Appeal to ignorance.

IX. Appeal to pity.

X. Ad hominem.

Ad hominem can be defined as a type of fallacy in which the motive, character, or some other aspect of a person is attacked rather than his or her position.

This ultimately implies that, Ad hominem is typically based on prejudices, emotions, or feelings rather than appealing to reason, intellect or substance.

In this scenario, John Bardeen's research work at the Advanced Institute for Physics has progressed so slowly that even his colleagues call him a plodder. As a result, the speaker concluded that it's prudent at present not to take seriously his current theory on how strings constitute the smallest of subatomic particles. Thus, the logical fallacy described above is an ad hominem because John's slowness in his research work is bone of contention for the speaker rather than analyzing and concentrating on his theory about strings.

According to the synthetic division below, which of the following statements
are true?
Check all that apply.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is, A and D are the correct statements.

What is division?

Division is the process of splitting a number or an amount into equal parts. Division is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, the ways that numbers are combined to make new numbers. The other operations are addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

here, we have,

to know which are the following statements are true:

We know that when f(x) is divided by (x - h) then f(h) is the remainder.

In option  A f(-7) is the remainder which gives the value 8.

So, option A is correct.

Here the value x = 7 does not satisfy the function.

When we put x = 7 in the function it is coming 99

So, option B and C are wrong.

On putting x = -7 in the function we are getting 8

So options D is correct

Again, the value of f(7) is 99.

So, (x - 7) when divides the given function, 8 is not the remainder.

So, option E is wrong.

Hence, The solution is, A and D are the correct statements.

Identify the errors made in the finding the inverse of y= x^2 +12x
X= y^2+12x
Y^2= x- 12x
Y^2 = -11x
Y=√11x, for x greater than or equal to 0

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y was not substituted for every x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of ...

  y = f(x)

you need to solve ...

  x = f(y)

Here, f(x) = x^2 +12x, so f(y) = y^2 +12y

This is not the expression we see on the right of ...

  x = y^2 +12x

Apparently y was not properly substituted into f(x).

Charlie is watching hot air balloons. Balloon A has risen at a 56° angle. Balloon B has risen at an 81° angle. If the distance from balloon A to the ground is 1,200 feet, how far is balloon B from balloon A? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Two points labeled Balloon A and Balloon B are connected to a point labeled Charlie, which is on a straight line labeled ground. A dashed line connects point Balloon A to line Ground; another dashed line connects point Balloon B to line ground; both dashed lines form a right angle with line Ground; the angle formed from point Balloon A, point Charlie, and line ground measures x degrees; and the angle formed by point Balloon B, point Charlie, and line Ground measures y degrees.

A) 999 feet
B) 1,005 feet
C) 1,052 feet
D) 1,102 feet

Answers

The distance between Balloon B and Balloon A is 999 feet (correct to the nearest whole number); that is, Balloon B is 999 feet from balloon A

The diagram for the question is shown as described in the question in the attachment below.

From the diagram,

Let the height from balloon A to the ground be /AG/ and the height from balloon B to the ground be /BD/ and the point where Charlie is be C

/AG/ = 1200 feet

/AG/ = /BD/ = 1200 feet ( as shown in the diagram)

The distance between the two balloons is equal to /GD/

Also, from the diagram, /GD/ = /GC/ + /CD/

To find /GC/,

Consider ΔAGC

/AG/ = 1200 feet

/GC/ = ?

From the question, "Balloon A has risen at a 56° angle"

∴ x° = 56°

Using the formula

[tex]tan(x^{o} ) = \frac{/AG/}{/GC/}[/tex]

[tex]tan(56^{o}) = \frac{1200}{/GC/}[/tex]

[tex]/GC/ = \frac{1200}{tan(56^{o}) }[/tex]

/GC/ = 809.41 feet

To find /CD/

Consider ΔBCD

/BD/ = 1200 feet

/CD/ = ?

From the question, "Balloon B has risen at a 81° angle"

∴ y° = 81°

Using the formula

[tex]tan(y^{o} ) = \frac{/BD/}{/CD/}[/tex]

[tex]tan(81^{o}) = \frac{1200}{/CD/}[/tex]

[tex]/CD/ = \frac{1200}{tan(81^{o}) }[/tex]

/CD/ = 190.06 feet

Now, recall that /GD/ = /GC/ + /CD/

∴ /GD/ = 809.41 feet + 190.06 feet

/GD/  = 999.47 feet

/GD/ ≅ 999 feet (to  the nearest whole number)

Hence, the distance between the two balloons is 999 feet

Balloon B is 999 feet from balloon A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To host an event at a popular convention center, it costs $300 plus $45 per person attending. Step 1 of 3 : Write a rational expression that represents how much you would need to charge each attendee in order to cover the cost of hosting the event. Let x be the number of attendees.

Answers

Answer: (300 + 45x) / x

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the total cost will be the addition of the fixed cost and the variable cost which will be:

= 300 + (45 × x)

= 300 + 45x

The amount that needs to be charge for each attendee in order to cover the cost of hosting the event will be:

= (300 + 45x) / x

A scale drawn on the map shows that 1 inch represents 40 miles. If tuo cities

Answers

Answer:

Im pretty sure its 1,000 miles (dont forget the unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine if this problem is a inverse variation or direct variation problem! This means that:

equation would be:

1=40

25=x

cross multiply*

x=25*40

x=1,000 miles apart! (dont forget the unit)

If this doesnt work then try this equation!

1=40

25=x

Multiply 1*40 and 25 *x

40=25x......    

40/25= 1.6

x=1.6! (Extra step)

  d) ((√3)/2, -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The attachment shows the point P and the numbering of the quadrants (in Roman numerals). Point P lies in quadrant III.

__

b) Measured counterclockwise, the angle to point P is 240° or 4π/3 radians. Measured clockwise, the angle is -120° or -2π/3 radians. In the diagram, these are shown in green and purple, respectively.

__

c) Adding π/2 to the angle 4π/3 or -2π/3 brings it to 11π/6, or -π/6. This point is marked as P' (blue) on the diagram. The coordinate transformation for π/2 radians CCW rotation is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-y, x)

  P(-1/2, -√3/2) ⇒ P'(√3/2, -1/2)

In terms of trig functions, the coordinates of the rotated point are ...

  P'(cos(-π/6), sin(-π/6)) = P'(√3/2, -1/2)

d) Adding or subtracting π radians to/from the angle moves it directly opposite the origin. Both coordinates change sign. This point is P'' (red) on the diagram.

Determine the minimum weight of the heaviest 5% of all items produced. d. If 27,875 items of the entire production weigh at least 5.01 ounces, how many items have been produced?

Answers

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 0.8849

(b) 12.28%

(c) 4.9935

(d) 28004

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean,

= 4.5

Standard deviation,

= 0.3

(a)

P(x > 4.14)

As we know,

⇒ [tex]z = \frac{4.14-4.5}{0.3}[/tex]

      [tex]=-1.20[/tex]

then,

⇒ [tex]P(z>-1.20) = P(z<1.20)[/tex]

                          [tex]=0.8849[/tex]

(b)

P(4.8 < x < 5.04)

= [tex]P(\frac{4.8-4.5}{0.3} < \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{5.04-4.5}{0.3} )[/tex]

= [tex]P(1<z<1.80)[/tex]

= [tex]P(z<1.80)-P(z<1)[/tex]

= [tex]0.9641 -0.8413[/tex]

= [tex]0.1228[/tex]

or,

= [tex]12.28[/tex] (%)

(c)

P(x > x) = 0.05

z value will be,

= 1.645

⇒ [tex]1.645 = \frac{x - 4.5}{0.3}[/tex]

         [tex]x = 4.9935[/tex]

(d)

P(x < 5.01)

⇒ [tex]z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

      [tex]=\frac{5.01-4.5}{0.3}[/tex]

      [tex]=1.7[/tex]

P(z < 1.70) = 0.9554

⇒ [tex]n = \frac{27875}{0.9954}[/tex]

       [tex]=28004[/tex]
