Which relation is described as a one-to-one correspondence and many-to-one correspondence?
- A.
Logic
- B.
Set
- C.
Binary function
- D.
Function
Correct Answer
D. FunctionExplanation
A function is described as a one-to-one correspondence when each element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range. It is also described as a many-to-one correspondence when multiple elements in the domain correspond to the same element in the range. Therefore, a function can be described as both a one-to-one correspondence and a many-to-one correspondence.Rate this question:

Is a statement equivalent to the negation of a statement.
- A.
Tautology         Â
- B.
Denial
- C.
Inverse
- D.
Contrapositive
Correct Answer
B. DenialExplanation
The term "denial" refers to the act of contradicting or refusing to accept a statement. In the context of this question, if a statement is equivalent to the negation of another statement, it means that the two statements contradict each other. Therefore, "denial" is an appropriate term to describe this relationship. "Tautology" refers to a statement that is always true, "inverse" refers to a statement formed by negating both the subject and predicate of the original statement, and "contrapositive" refers to a statement formed by negating and switching the subject and predicate of the original statement. None of these terms accurately describe the relationship between a statement and its negation.Rate this question:

Proposition
- B.
Logic
- C.
Predicate
- D.
Contrapositive
Correct Answer
A. PropositionExplanation
A proposition is a statement that can be either true or false. It is a fundamental concept in logic, where propositions are used to build logical arguments and reasoning. Unlike predicates, which involve variables and can be true or false depending on the values assigned to the variables, propositions are standalone statements that are evaluated as either true or false. The term "contrapositive" refers to a specific type of logical statement, but it is not directly related to the concept of propositions.Rate this question:

Which of the following is the contrapositive of the given statement: If a figure is a square, then it is a quadrilateral?
- A.
If a figure is a quadrilateral, then it is a square.
- B.
If a figure is not a quadrilateral, then it is not a square.
- C.
If a figure is not a square, then it is not a quadrilateral.
- D.
If a figure is a square, then it is not a quadrilateral.
Correct Answer
B. If a figure is not a quadrilateral, then it is not a square.Explanation
The contrapositive of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion and negates both. In the given statement, the hypothesis is "a figure is a square" and the conclusion is "it is a quadrilateral." The contrapositive of this statement is "If a figure is not a quadrilateral, then it is not a square." This is the correct answer because it follows the pattern of switching and negating the hypothesis and conclusion.Rate this question:

Which of the following is demonstrating the associative property of multiplication?
- A.
2(b+4) = 2b+8
- B.
2 x 1= 2
- C.
2 + (3+4) = (2+3) + 4
- D.
A(b x c) = (a x b)c
Correct Answer
D. A(b x c) = (a x b)cExplanation
The given equation, a(b x c) = (a x b)c, demonstrates the associative property of multiplication. This property states that the grouping of numbers being multiplied does not affect the result. In this equation, the numbers a, b, and c are being multiplied in different groupings, but the result is the same on both sides of the equation. This shows that the order of multiplication does not matter, and the equation is an example of the associative property.Rate this question:

In comparing two fractions, with the same numerator, one said he can subtract numerator from the denominator and the smaller difference is the larger fraction. What kind of reasoning is being defined?
- A.
Analogy
- B.
Deductive reasoning
- C.
Inductive reasoning
- D.
Intuition
Correct Answer
D. IntuitionExplanation
The reasoning being defined in this question is intuition. Intuition is a type of reasoning that relies on instinct, gut feelings, or a sense of knowing without conscious reasoning. In this case, the person is using their intuition to determine that the fraction with the smaller difference between the numerator and denominator is larger. This is not a deductive or inductive reasoning process, as it is not based on logical deduction or generalization from specific instances. It is also not an analogy, as there is no comparison being made between two different situations or concepts.Rate this question:

- D.
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
Correct Answer
D. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}Explanation
The expression (A U B) U C represents the union of sets A U B and C. Set A U B contains all the elements that are in either set A or set B, so it includes {2, 4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 5, 7}. The union of this set with set C includes all the elements that are in either set A U B or set C, so it includes {2, 4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 5, 7, 3, 4, 5, 6}. However, since there are duplicate elements in this set, they are only counted once, resulting in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. { }Explanation
The correct answer is an empty set because A' represents the complement of set A, which includes all elements in the universal set U that are not in set A. B represents a set of elements that are in the universal set U but not in set A. Therefore, when we find A' - B, we are looking for elements that are in the complement of set A but not in set B. Since there are no elements in the complement of set A and are not in set B, the answer is an empty set.Rate this question:
