The equivalence law says p ←→ q ≡ (p → q) ∧ (q → p) and the
implication law means p → q ≡ (~p ∨ q) and q → p ≡ (~q ∨ p).

Prove that (¬q ∨ (¬p → q)) →p is a tautology using propositional equivalence and the laws of logic. Step Number Formula Reason
-Use the rules of inference and the laws of propositional logic to prove that each argument is valid. Number each line of your argument and label each line of your proof "Hypothesis" or with the name of the rule of inference used at that line. If a rule of inference is used, then include the numbers of the previous lines to which the rule is applied. For the arguments stated in English, transform them into propositional logic first. a) (10...
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,...
