ARGUMENT #1:

1) 25% of heavy drug users die.
2) Bob is a heavy drug user.
3) Thus, Bob will probably die. ARGUMENT #2:

1) 75% of heavy drug users die.
2) Bob is a heavy drug user.
3) Thus, Bob will probably die.

For each argument above (#1 and #2), describe whether it is weak or strong . In your own words, why is the argument weak, or strong?
Read the following arguments:
ARGUMENT #3:

1) 25% of heavy drug users die. (Suppose this premise is in fact true).
2) Bob is a heavy drug user. (Suppose this premise is in fact true).
3) Thus, Bob will probably die.

ARGUMENT #4: 1) 75% of heavy drug users die. (Suppose this premise is in fact true).
2) Bob is a heavy drug user. (Suppose this premise is in fact true).
3) Thus, Bob will probably die.

For each argument above (#3 and #4), determine whether it is cogent or not cogent . In your own words, why is the argument cogent or not cogent?

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
