. (25 points) Show each of these two statements are tautology or not, using Logical Equivalences...
Verify the logical equivalences using the theorem below: (p ∧ ( ~ ( ~ p ∨ q ) ) ) ∨ (p ∧ q) ≡ p Theorem 2.1.1 Let p, q, and r be statement variables, t a tautology, and c a contradiction. The following logical equivalences are true. 1. Commutativity: p1q=q1p; p V q = 9VP 2. Associativity: ( pq) Ar=p1qAr); (pVq) Vr=pv (Vr) 3. Distributivity: PA(Vr) = (p19) (par); p V (qar) = (pVg) (Vr) 4. Identity: pAt=p:...
In this assignment you will write code that will prove both equations for three logical equivalences (pick any three except the double negative law). Below is the list of logical equivalences. Please create a program that allows a user to test logical equivalences and have proof of their equivalency for the user. The rubric is below. Submit screen shots of the code, input, and output of the program. Theorem 2.1.1 Logical Equivalences Given any statement variables p, q, and r,...
5 points Show that p + (q + r) and q + (pvr) are logically equivalent without using a truth table. To get full credit, include which logical equivalences you used.
4. (20 points) Verify the logical equivalence p trupi qarp and justify each step by referencing the list of logical equivalences. (Do Not Construct a Truth Table for your solution to this problem.)
(a) use the logical equivalences p → q ≡∼p ∨ q and p ↔ q ≡ (∼p ∨ q) ∧ (∼q ∨ p) to rewrite the given statement forms without using the symbol → or ↔, and (b) use the logi- cal equivalence p ∨ q ≡∼(∼p∧ ∼q) to rewrite each statement form using only ∧ and ∼. * p∨∼q→r∨q
5.) Logic problems. List the truth values of the two statements of problems (a) and the truth value of the statement of problem (b) in terms of the truth values of P and Q. a.) Determine if the following pairs of logical statements are equivalent. Show why they are or are not equivalent. i. (( P) ^ Q) ) P; ii. (P _ ( Q)): b.) Determine if the following statement is a tautology. Show why it is or is...
Problem 3.11 Show using a chain of logical equivalences that (p → r)A(q → r) pv q) →
Problem 12.1: Let p and be logical statements. By using a truth table determine if the following compound statements are logically equivalent. Show work! Circle one: A: The statements are equivalent. B: The statements are not equivalent. Problem 12.2: Let P, Q, and be be logical statements. By using a truth table determine if the following compound statements are logically equivalent. Show work! Circle one: A: The statements are equivalent. B: The statements are not equivalent.
Discrete Math I'm confused with the questions listed below. Can you please solve and explain in detail? how it transforms one to the other to get the answer? Using propositional logic properties and other logical equivalences (not truth tables), prove the following statements: 1. (p Vq) V (p V -q) is a tautology 2. ((p-+ r) Л (q r) Л (pv q)) _+ r is a tautology 3. (pVq) Л (-р Л q) is a contradiction 4. (1-p) Λ (p...
(40 pts) Consider the transitivity of the biconditional: ((P HQ ) ^ ( Q R )) → ( P R ). a. Show that this argument is valid by deriving a tautology from it, a la section 2.1. You may use logical equivalences (p. 35), the definition of biconditional, and the transitivity of conditional: (( P Q) ^ (Q→ R)) → (P + R). Show that this argument is valid using a truth table. Please circle the critical lines. C....
