Determine whether each pair of statements is logically equivalent. 1. p ? (q ? r) and (p ? q) ? (p ? r) 2. ?(?p ? q) and p ? ?q 3. ?(p ? q) and (?p) ? (?q) Write the negation of the given statement in its equivalent conjunctive form. “If x is an odd integer, then x^2 is an odd integer.”

Step 1
1. \( p \lor (q \land r) \) and \( (p \lor q) \land (p \lor r) \) - Apply the distributive law of logic: \( p \lor (q \land r) \equiv (p \lor q) \land (p \lor r) \) - Therefore, these two statements are logically equivalent. 2. \( \neg (\neg p \rightarrow Show more…

B. Let P(x) be the propositional function which means "x is an odd number greater than 4 but less than or equal to 20" and Q(x) be the propositional function that means "x is divisible by 3". Determine the truth value of: P(3) ^ Q(3) P(9) → Q(9)
