    Logic - negation

    Just wonering if we want to find the negation of an implication, is it wrong to add in the word "IF", and if so why? For example, the negation of "If A, then B" should be "A and not B", but why can't we say "IF A and not B" or are these both correct?

    pigeon hole principle help!

    Consider a 3cmX3cm grid, made of nine 1X1cm squares. If you are to put a stamp in the squares, what is the maximum number of stamps you can make without having 3 stamps diagonally, vertically or horizontally? Obviously the answer is 6 by intuition, but how can you use pigeon hole principle to...

    Perms and combs help

    Twelve people sit around two tables labelled A(5 seats) and B(7 seats), how many ways can this be done. The solution says 12C5*4!*6! which i understand works. I was thinking doing 1*11*10*9*8* 1*6*5*4*3*2*1 which gives a different answer. My logic is, the first person that sits down on table A...

    Hi, 1) Just wondering what happens when you reciprocate a vertical asymptote. For example if you are given the graph y=1/x and asked to reciprocate it, will the origin be an open circle or closed circle. 2) If you are NOT given the equation of y=1/x but given something that looks similar...

    function notation

    Hi, A bit confused with the use of the notation y=f(x). If we have the circle x^2+y^2=1, we can obviously rearrange and make y the subject which gives y=+-(1-x^2)^0.5. Is it wrong to write f(x)=+-(1-x^2)^0.5 since this is not a function hence we can't use f(x)? If so, does that also mean...
