Give the form of each argument. Then prove whether the argument is valid or invalid. For valid arguments, use the rules of inference to prove validity. (a) If I get a job then I will buy a new car and a new house. I won't buy a new house. ∴ I will not get a job. (b) If I get a job then I will buy a new car or a new house (or both). I won't buy a new house. ∴ I will not get a new job.
