Question

Determine whether each statement is sometimes, always or never true. Explain.

(b) The expression $p+q$ means the same as $pq.$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Explanation:- Here, This statement is Never true.

Because here $p+q$ means addition of two variables on the other side $pq$ means multiplication of two variables.

So , they both can never give us same value.

For e.g. Let us take value of $p=3$ and $q=2$

then value of $p+q=3+2=5$

and the value of $pq=3\times 2=6$

As we can see that $valueof\left(p+q\right)isnotequaltovalueof\left(pq\right)$.

So. this statement $canneverbetrue.$
