Construct the truth table for πβ§π
Construct the truth table for ~p
|p|~p|
|T|F|
|F|T|
P is T, Q is T
True both are true
A statement that is always true, no matter the truth values of its components.
What is a tautology?
This symbol (Β¬ or ~) is used to represent βnotβ in logic.
What is conjunction?
Construct the truth table for Β¬πβ§π
Β¬πβ§π=πΉβ§π=πΉ
Β¬πβ§πΉ=πΉβ§πΉ=πΉ
Β¬πΉβ§π=πβ§π=π
Β¬πΉβ§πΉ=πβ§πΉ
Construct a table for ~(~p)
|p|~p|~(~p)|
|T|F|T|
|F|T|F|
P is F, Q is T
True at least one
A statement that is always false, regardless of the truth values of its components.
What is a contradiction?
This symbol (β§) represents the logical operation meaning βand.β
What is conjunction?
Construct the truth table for Β¬πβ§Β¬π
Β¬πβ§Β¬π=πΉβ§πΉ=πΉ
Β¬Tβ§Β¬πΉ=πΉβ§π=πΉ
Β¬πΉβ§Β¬π=πβ§πΉ=πΉ
Β¬πΉβ§Β¬πΉ=πβ§π=π
Construct a table for (~(p/\q)|
| p | q | p /\ q | ~ ( p /\ q ) |
P is T, Q is F
False ( If P is T the -P is F. Now you have F \/ F, which is false.)
A column in a truth table that shows all possible truth values for a variable is called this.
What is a truth column?
This symbol (β¨) represents the logical operation meaning βor.β
What is disjunction?
Construct the truth table for (πβ§π)β§Β¬π
(πβ§π)β§Β¬π=πβ§πΉ=πΉ
(πβ§πΉ)β§Β¬π=πΉβ§πΉ=F
(πΉβ§π)β§Β¬πΉ=πΉβ§π=πΉ
(πΉβ§πΉ)β§Β¬πΉ=πΉβ§π
| p | q | p \/ q | ~ ( p \/ q ) |
|T|T|T|F|
|T|F|T|F|
|F|T|T|F|
|F|F|F|T|
Two statements that always have the same truth values in every possible case are called this.
What are logically equivalent statements?
This symbol (β) is used to show βifβ¦thenβ statements in logic.
What is implication?
Construct the truth table for (πβ§π)β¨Β¬π
(πβ§π)β¨Β¬π=πβ¨πΉ
Construct a table for ( ( ~ p ) \/ q)
| p | q | ~ p | (~p) \/ q |
|T|T|F|T|
|T|F|F|F|
|F|T|T|T|
|F|F|T|T|
The process of determining the truth value of a compound statement by listing all possibilities is called this.
Answer: What is constructing a truth table?
This double arrow symbol (β) represents when two statements have the same truth value.
What is biconditional?
