If someone posts homework, I think there should be a limit
to the number of questions! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Math people I need some help with this
 

It actually isn't my home work I'm a math major trying to skip finite mathematics.

Re: Math people I need some help with this
 

Since I'm of the opinion that one is not allowed to be called a math major unless one can actually do these problems, I hope no one posts the answers.

That said, I'm sure that many (including myself) are prepared to help with a specific question.

Re: Math people I need some help with this
 

As someone earlier posted, people don't want to be helping other people with homework. Therefore, the previous answers were completely incorrect. Here are the correct answers.

1.) Everyone cooks broccoli.

George Bush doesn't eat broccoli, so he chokes on pretzels.

2.) No one cooks rhubarb.

Everyone eats rhubarb, at least that's what they tell their moms while they feed it to the dog.

3.) Everyone eats spinach.

Popeye loses. All the time.

4.) Write the following compound statement in symbolic form.

Let p: Today is Monday.

q: Tomorrow is the day Norm leaves.

If tomorrow is not the day Norm leaves, then today is Monday.

Wake up, Norm has just left you a Dear John letter.

5.) Write the following compound statement in symbolic form.

Let p: Today is Wednesday.

q: Tomorrow is Andrea’s piano lesson.

If today is Wednesday, then tomorrow is not Andrea’s piano lesson.
