Let p and q and q be the statements:
p: Nikki is a singer
q: Nikki lives in Trinidad.
With that, write the following using symbols.
(a) Nikki is a singer and she lives in Trinidad.
(b) Nikki is neither a singer nor does she live in Trinidad.
(c) Either Nikki is a singer or she lives in Trinidad
(a) This compound statement is joined by the conjunction ‘and’. Hence, we can write the statement as p ⋀ q.
(b) Nikki is not a singer is the negation of Nikki is a singer and this is represented by ∼p. ‘Nikki does not live in Trinidad’ is the negation of ‘Nikki lives in Trinidad’ and this is represented by ∼q. The statement is joined by the conjunction ‘and’. We write: ∼p ⋀ ∼q. From De Morgan’s law we can also write this as: ∼(p ⋁ q).
(c) The compound statement is joined by ‘or’. Hence, the disjunction is used and we write: p ⋁ q
