The answer is option(b) i.e,the given statements are not equivalent.
What is Truth table?
A truth table is a breakdown of a logic function by listing all possible values the function can attain. Such a table typically contains several rows and columns, with the top row representing the logical variables and combinations, in increasing complexity leading up to the final function.
Let's proof it by using truth table :
p q (~q → ~p) (~p → ~q)
F F T T
F T T F
T F F T
T T T T
As you've seen in truth table (~q → ~p) ≠ (~p → ~q)
Therefore, the answer is option(b) i.e,the given statements are not equivalent.

an airplane flew for one hour and landed 100 miles north and 80 miles east from its origin. what was the distance traveled, speed and angle of direction from its origin?
The distance traveled by airplane is 180 miles.
The speed of the airplane is 3 miles per minute and the angle of direction from the origin is 51.34°
The airplane landed 100 miles north and 80 miles east from its origin and it flew for one hour.
Then, the total distance traveled by airplane will be:
= 100 miles + 80 miles = 180 miles.
The speed can be defined as the distance traveled by the total time taken.
Speed = distance/time
Speed = 180 miles/ 1 hour
Speed = 180 miles/60 minutes
Speed = 3 miles per minute
The angle of direction from its origin will be:
tan (x) = 100 miles/80 miles
x = tan⁻¹ ( 100/80)
x = tan⁻¹ ( 10/8) = tan⁻¹ ( 5/4)
x = 51.34°

Transforming the function in the vertex form,
[tex]f(x) = a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex]

So ,the vertex of the function of the parabola is (3, -1)
b) What is the line of symmetry in the function?
In a parabola , the axis of symmetry is x = h.
Here, x = 3
So, the line of symmetry of the function of the parabola is x= 3
c) What is the maximum and minimum?
There is no maximum for the function because, the parabola opens upward. (Refer image for graph)The minimum for the function is the vertex (h, k) = (3, -1)What is a function of a parabola?
A parabola is the shape of a quadratic function's graph. Although the width or steepness of a parabola can vary as well as its direction of opening, they share the same fundamental U form.

Calculate the probabilities of each of these situations. A standard deck of cards has 52 cards and 13 cards cards in each suit (Spades, Clubs, Hearts, & Diamonds). Which of the following is LEAST likely to occur? a) Selecting any spade card from a standard deck of cards, keeping it, then selecting the queen of hearts. b) Selecting a spade from a standard deck of cards, not putting it back, then selecting another spade. c) Selecting an ace from a standard deck of cards, not replacing it, then selecting a king.Event CEvent AEvent B
Answer
The least likely to occur is Event C
Explanation
A.
P(spade card) = 13/52
P(queen) = 4/51 Note: Without replacement
⇒ 13/52 x 4/51
= 52/2652
= 0.0196
B.
P(a spade) = 13/52
P( another spade) = 12/51 Note: Without replacement
⇒ 13/52 x 12/51
= 156/2652
= 0.0588
C.
P(an ace) = 4/52
P(king) = 4/51
⇒ 4/52 x 4/51
= 16/2652
= 0.006
∴ The least likely to occur is Event C

We have that, for any triangle, the sum of all its angles equals 180. In this case, we have the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 96+2x+x+12=180 \\ \Rightarrow2x+x=180-96-12 \\ \Rightarrow3x=72 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{72}{3}=24 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]We have that x = 24, now to find the angles, we substitute this value on each expression:

Let,
X+27+32 = 8
X+ 3y +32 = 10
X + 2y +42 = 9
Be, equation 1, 2 and 3 respectively
X+27+32 = 8 -----(1)

X + 2y +42 = 9 -----(3)
From equation we can find the value of x
X+27+32 = 8
X + 59 = 8
X = 8 - 59
X = - 51
Substituting the value of x in equation 3
X + 2y +42 = 9
(-51) + 2y + 42 = 9
-51 + 42 + 2y = 9
-9 + 2y = 9
2y = 9 + 9
2y = 18
y = 18/2
y = 9

Kaitlin races her bicycle for 98 m. A wheel of her bicycle turns 49 times as the bicycle travels this distance. What is the diameter of the wheel? Use the value 3.14 for n. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
Answer:
0.6m
Explanation:
Given the following
Total distance covered = 98m
pi = 3.14
Circumference of the wheel is the distance travelled in one rotation. Hence;
distance travelled in one rotation = \pi d
d is the diamter of the wheel
distance travelled in 49 rotation = 49*\pi d
Since distance travelled in 49 rotation = 98m, then;
98 = 49*\pi d
Divide both sides by 49
98/49 = \pi d
2 = 3.14d
d = 2/3.14
d = 0.6m
Hence the diameter of the wheel is 0.6m

The number of kilometers per hour in 880 feet / minute can be found to be 16.09 kilometers per hour
How does km/h relate to ft/ min?Based on the conversion rates between kilometers and feet, the number of feet per minute for each kilometer per hour is 54.6807 feet per minute.
In other words, 1 km / h is equal to 54.6807 feet per minute.
If there are 880 ft / minute therefore, the number of kilometers per hour is:
= Speed in feet per minute / feet per minute per kilometer per hour

h(x) = x2 + 1 k(x) = x-2 (h - k)(3) = DONE
We are given two functions:
h(x) = x^2 + 1
and k(x) = x - 2
We are asked to find the value of:
(h - k) (3) (the value of the difference of the two functions at the point x = 3
So we performe the difference of the two functions:
(h - k) (x) = x^2 + 1 - (x - 2) = x^2 + 1 - x + 2 = x^2 - x + 3
So, this expression evaluated at 3 gives:
(h-k)(3) = 3^2 - 3 + 3 = 9
One could also evaluate what was asked by evaluating each function independently and subtracting the results of such evaluation:
h(3) = 3^2 + 1 = 10
k(3) = 3 - 2 = 1
Then, the difference is : h(3) - k(3) = 10 - 1 = 9
So use whatever method feels more comfortable for you.
