Compound Statements

Question 9 • TX-Geometry A

Let p: –3 > –5 and q: 3 + 2 = 5. Which statement is represented by p ∧ q?

Answer

–3 > –5 or 3 + 2 = 5.

–3 > –5 and 3 + 2 = 5.

If –3 > –5 then 3 + 2 = 5.

–3 > –5 if and only if then 3 + 2 = 5.

The symbol ∧ means “and,” so p ∧ q joins the two statements with “and.” Thus it represents “–3 > –5 and 3 + 2 = 5,” which is choice B.
