For the following arguments, determine which form the argument has and whether it is valid or invalid. Remember, determining if an argument is valid is not determining if we agree or not, it is determining if the conclusion would have to follow when the premises are true.

P_1: There is problem with the ignition, but it might be a problem with the battery.
P_2: We’ve ruled out a problem with the ignition.
C: There is a problem with the battery.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

lol we need to see what the question is asking about
