True or false a chemical is always the same thing as an element?
FALSE
True or false the order of numbers in an ordered pair doesn't matter?
False
What is the proof for P and Not P Therefore Q?
"P and not P" is always false. If P is true, not P is false; if P is false, not P is true. In either case, combining a true and a false with the AND operator gives you false. And if you look at the truth table for the implication (the "therefore" part), when the left part is false, the result is always true.
In evaluating a logical expression of type Boolean expression1 Boolean expression2 Both the Boolean expressions are not always evaluated True False?
FALSE.... cuz in && operator the compiler chk both of the expression if any of the expression is false then answer will be false.. for true result both of d expression must be true... by warrior2pnk
Is the Converse of a false statement always false?
Let's take an example.If it is raining (then) the match will be cancelled.A conditional statement is false if and only if the antecedent (it is raining) is true and the consequent (the match will be cancelled) is false. Thus the sample statement will be false if and only if it is raining but the match still goes ahead.By convention, if the antecedent is false (if it isn't raining) then the statement as a whole is considered true regardless of whether the match takes place or not.To recap: if told that the sample statement is false, we can deduce two things: It is raining is a true statement, and the match will be cancelled is a false statement. Also, we know a conditional statement with a false antecedent is always true.The converse of the statement is:If the match is cancelled (then) it is raining.Since we know (from the fact that the original statement is false) that the match is cancelled is false, the converse statement has a false antecedent and, by convention, such statements are always true.Thus the converse of a false conditional statement is always true. (A single example serves to show it's true in all cases since the logic is identical no matter what specific statements you apply it to.)If you are familiar with truth tables, the explanation is much easier. Here is the truth table for A = X->Y (i.e. A is the statement if X then Y) and B = Y->X (i.e. B is the converse statement if Y then X).X Y A BF F T TF F T TT F F TF T T FLooking at the last two rows of the A and B columns, when either of the statements is false, its converse is true.
