# Write the Component Statement of the Compound Statement and Check Whether the Compound Statement is True Or False: X = 2 and X = 3 Are the Roots Or the Equation 3x2 − X − 10 = 0. - Mathematics

True or False

Write the component statement of the compound statement and check whether the compound statement is true or false:

x = 2 and x = 3 are the roots or the equation 3x2 − x − 10 = 0.

#### Solution

The component statements of the given compound statement are:

1) $x = 2$  is the root or the equation $3 x^2 - x - 10 = 0$

2)  $x = 3$  is the root or the equation  $3 x^2 - x - 10 = 0$

The connective used is "and". So, both component statements must be true for the compound statement to be true. The statement "  $x = 3$  is the root or the equation  $3 x^2 - x - 10 = 0$ "  is false. Therefore, the compound statement is false.
