Question

Which of the following illustrates the truth value of the given statements?

A square root of 16 is 4, and the only square root of 9 is -3.

A.) T F → F
B.) T T → T
C.) F T → F
D.) F F → F

Answer 1

A.)

T F → F

Explanation:

The statement; A square root of 16 is 4 is True. This is because 16 has two roots, 4, and -4. Therefore, 4 is a square root of 16.

On the other hand, the statement; the only square root of 9 is -3 is False. This is so because 9 has two roots, 3 and -3. Therefore, it is not true to say that the only square root of 9 is -3.

True and False will imply False. That is;

T F → F
