Question

use the statements to write a compound statement for the conjunction or disjunction.
p: -3 - 2 = -5
q: vertical angles are congruent.
r: 2+8 > 10
p ∧ r
vertical angles are congruent and 2+8 > 10
-3 - 2 = -5 and 2+8 > 10
-3 - 2 = -5 or vertical angles are congruent
-3 - 2 = -5 or 2+8 > 10

Explanation:

Step1: Recall logical - conjunction meaning

The symbol $\wedge$ represents logical conjunction (and).

Step2: Identify statements for $p$ and $r$

$p$ is “$-3 - 2=-5$” and $r$ is “$2 + 8>10$”.

Answer:

$-3 - 2=-5$ and $2 + 8>10$
