A conditional statement involves 2 propositions, p and q. The conditional statement, is a proposition which we write as: p⇒q,

and read "if p then q"

Let p be the proposition: Triangle ABC is a right triangle with m(C)=90°.

Let q be the proposition: The sides of triangle ABC are such that

|AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2

.

An example of a conditional statement is : p⇒q, that is:

if Triangle ABC is a right triangle with m(C)=90° then The sides of triangle ABC are such that |AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2

This compound proposition (compound because we formed it using 2 other propositions) is true. So the truth value is True,

the converse, inverse and contrapositive of p⇒q are defined as follows:

converse: q⇒p
inverse: ¬p⇒¬q (if [not p] then [not q])
contrapositive: ¬q⇒¬p

Converse of our statement:

if The sides of triangle ABC are such that |AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2

then Triangle ABC is a right triangle with m(C)=90°

True

Inverse of the statement:

if Triangle ABC is not a right triangle with m(C) not =90° then The sides of triangle ABC are not such that |AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2

True

Contrapositive statement:

if The sides of triangle ABC are not such that |AB|^2=|BC|^2+|AC|^2

then Triangle ABC is not a right triangle with m(C)=90°

True

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.

$a_1 = 1$ , and

$a_{n+1} = a_n + (n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote $a_1 = 1$ , $a_2 = 3$ , $a_3 = 6$ , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from $a_1 = 1$ , to get to $a_2 = 3$ , we add $2(=1+1)$
