1. Use full-truth table method to check if the following argument is valid -p•(qv-I), (p=q). (qvr)>p 1: p=(-q=r) 2. Use short-cut truth table method to check if the following argument is valid p=(r v (p.-9). [=(qv(re-p)) 1:9= (pv (q.-1))
1. Use the DPP to decide whether the following sets of clauses are satisfiable. (a) {{¬Q,T},{P,¬Q},{¬Q,¬S},{¬P,¬R},{P,¬R,S},{Q,S,¬T},{¬P,S,¬T},{Q,¬S},{Q,R,T}} (b) {{¬Q,R,T},{¬P,¬R},{¬P,S,¬T},{P,¬Q},{P,¬R,S},{Q,S,¬T},{¬Q,¬S},{¬Q,T}} 2. Decide whether each of the following arguments are valid by first converting to a question of satisfiability of clauses (see the Proposition), and then using the DPP. (Note that using DPP is not the easiest way to decide validity for these arguments, so you may want to use other methods to check your answers) (a) (P → Q), (Q → R),...
(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....
Please do not use Quantifier statements, just regular P Q R
inference rules and logical equivalence, thank you!
- Determine whether this argument, taken from Kalish and Montague [KaM064), is valid. If Superman were able and willing to prevent evil, he would do so. If Superman were unable to prevent evil, he would be impotent; if he were unwilling to prevent evil, he would be malevolent. Superman does not prevent evil. If Superman exists, he is nei- ther impotent nor...
5. Let P, Q, and R denote distinct propositional variables. Which of the following arguments are valid? Justify your answer. (a) (P+Q), Q+ R), therefore (-PVR). (b) ((PAQ) + R), P, R, therefore Q.
MATH120 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS Assignment 2 Due 2pm on Friday 31 July 2020 1. Consider the argument ((p Vg) ^ (p +r)^(-+-)) ►r. (a) Determine whether it is a valid argument by means of a truth table. Which rows of the table are crucial for assessing the validity of the argument and which rows can be ignored? (b) Is the statement a logical implication? In other words, does ((p V q) (p+r)^(-+ +-2)) =r? Why/why not? the statement is true or
answer. A4 Consider a formal argument which has two premises: “p implies not q”, and “p or not q”, with the conclusion that “q is false”. a. Is this a valid argument? Give a truth table that verifies your b. Convert the statement “any integer less than C is also less than Cz" into “r implies s” form: i.e. what are the statements r and s? (Remember to substitute your integer values of C and C3.) c. Fix any integer...
QUESTION 3 Symbolize the following argument using the variables p, q, and r. Then construct a complete truth table to show whether or not the argument is valid. Use 1 for T(true) and 0 for F(false). Valid or Invalid? Why? Prove. Explain what your truth table shows. 10 points Total: 3 points for correct symbolic form, 4 points for valid/invalid and reason, 3 points for correct truth table. If Max studies hard, then Max gets an 'A' or Max gets...
