5. Let P, Q, and R denote distinct propositional variables. Which of the following arguments are...
Use propositional logic to prove the validity of the following arguments: a) (P -> Q) -> (Q' -> P') b) [(P∧Q) -> R] -> [P -> (Q -> R)]
1. (10 points) For the following questions, let p, q, r e Z be distinct positive prime integers, and define n=p?q?r. (a) How many distinct positive divisors does n = pq?r have? When counting positive divisors, do not count 1, but do count n itself (b) Using a result in the book, justify that n does not have any additional divisors beyond those given in (a).
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),...
1. 5 points Let G, H, J, and P denote the following propositional variables: G: "Jo knows where the gold is hidden." J : "Jo is a knight." H: "Pat knows where the gold is hidden." P: "Pat is a knight." One fine day, while we are strolling along on The Island of Knights & Knaves, we meet Jo and Pat, each of whom is an inhabitant of The Island of Knights & Knaves Jo says "We both know where...
(13) Which of the following statements is true? (a) Let P and Q be statements. Then ( P Q) (b) Let P and Q be statements. Then ( P Q) (c) Let P and Q be statements. Then ( P Q ) (d) Let P and Q be statements. Then ( P Q) (e) None of the above (PVQ). G-PVQ). (PV-Q). (PAQ). (14) Suppose P and Q are statements. The which of the following statements is true for any statement...
(i) State Sylow's theorems. (ii) Suppose G is a group with IGI pr where p, q and r are distinct primes. Let np, nq and nr, denote, respectively, the number of Sylow p, q- and r-subgroups of G. Show that Hence prove that G is not a simple group. (iii) Prove that a group of order 980 cannot be a simple group.
UIC 5. (20 pt.) Use the laws of propositional logic to prove that the following compound propositions are tautologies. a. (5 pt.) (p^ q) → (q V r) b. (5 pt) P)Ag)- Vg)A(A-r)- c. (10 pt.) Additional Topics: Satisfiability (10 pt.) A compound proposition is said to be satisfiable if there is an assignment of truth values to its variables that makes it true. For example. p ^ q is true when p = T and q = T;thus, pAqissatsfiable....
Use propositional logic to prove that the following arguments are valid. Do not use truth tables. 1. ( A C)^(C --B) AB: A 2. (P→ (QAR)) AP: (PA) 3. Z. (ZAZ) 4. A: (AV B)^(AVC) 5. (I → H) A (FV-H) AI: F
Validate the following arguments: a. ( ~p ∧ ((q ∧ r) → s) ∧ (s → p) ∧ (~(q ∨ r) → t ) → t b.( (p → r) ∧ q ∧ (q → ~r) ∧ r ) → ~p
Using propositional logic, write a statement that contains the propositions p, q, and r that is true when both p → q and q ↔ ¬r are true and is false otherwise. Your statement must be written as specified below. (a) Write the statement in disjunctive normal form. (b Write the statement using only the ∨ and ¬ connectives.
