Question

2.2 Conditional Statements 3- If statement forms P and Q are logically equivalent, then P ? Q is a tautology. Conversely, if P ? Q is a tautology, then P and Q are logically equivalent. Use ? to convert each of the following logical equivalences to a tautology. Then use a truth table to verify each tautology. (a) p ? (q ? r) ? (p ? q) ? (p ? r) (b) p ? (q ? r) ? (p ? q) ? r

Step 1

We can do this by constructing a truth table: p | q | r | p ^ ( Vr) | (PAq) V (p^r) --|---|---|----------|---------------- T | T | T | T | T T | T | F | T | T T | F | T | T | T T | F | F | F | F F | T | T | Show more…

2.2 Conditional Statements If statement forms P and Q are logically equivalent then P ↔ Q is a tautology. Conversely, if P ↔ Q is a tautology, then P and Q are logically equivalent. Use ↔ to convert each of the following logical equivalences to a tautology. Then use a truth table to verify each tautology. (a) p ∧ (q ∨ r) ≡ (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r) (b) p → (q → r) ≡ (p ∧ q) → r
