If ( p ) is an integer and ( q ) is a nonzero integer, then the expression ( \frac{p}{q} ) will always yield a rational number. Additionally, since ( q ) is nonzero, ( p ) cannot be divided by zero, ensuring the division is valid. Furthermore, ( p + q ) will also be an integer, as the sum of two integers is always an integer.
Yes, it is true that if ( p ) is an integer and ( q ) is a nonzero integer, then ( p ) can take any whole number value, including positive, negative, or zero, while ( q ) cannot be zero and must be a whole number either positive or negative. This distinction is important in mathematical contexts where division by zero is undefined.
The expression ( p \land q ) is called the "conjunction" of statements ( p ) and ( q ). It is true only when both ( p ) and ( q ) are true; otherwise, it is false. In logical terms, conjunction represents the logical AND operation.
"If a number is an integer, then it is a whole number." In math terms, the converse of p-->q is q-->p. Note that although the statement in the problem is true, the converse that I just stated is not necessarily true.
If ( pq ) and ( qr ) are both true statements, then it follows that both ( p ) and ( q ) must be true (since ( pq ) is true) and both ( q ) and ( r ) must be true (since ( qr ) is true). Consequently, this implies that ( q ) is true in both cases. However, we cannot definitively conclude the truth values of ( p ) or ( r ) without additional information. Thus, the statements themselves do not inherently guarantee the truth of ( p ) or ( r ) alone.
In logic, "p" and "q" are commonly used symbols to represent propositions or statements that can be either true or false. They serve as variables in logical expressions and are often used in conjunction with logical operators like "and," "or," and "not" to form more complex statements. For example, in the expression "p and q," both propositions need to be true for the overall statement to be true.
Then p/q is a rational number.

Any fraction p/q where p is an integer and q is a non-zero integer is rational.

8 is an integer, which, by definition, are not irrational. In particular, an irrational number is a number that cannot be written in the form p/q for p and q both integers. However, since 8 clearly is equal to 8k/k for any integer k (and for that matter any nonzero number k), 8 is not irrational

A biconditional statement, expressed as "P if and only if Q" (P ↔ Q), can be rewritten as two conditional statements: "If P, then Q" (P → Q) and "If Q, then P" (Q → P). This means that both conditions must be true for the biconditional to hold. Essentially, the biconditional asserts that P and Q are equivalent in truth value.
