In this problem, we are talking about the negation of statements.
00:05
Now, first, what is a negation? we start with a statement p and we essentially negate it.
00:12
What does that mean? it means that we're changing the truth of it.
00:16
We're making it the not version, if you will.
00:20
And this isn't going to come up quite often in logic and in proofs later on because sometimes it might be easier to prove the negation rather than the original statement.
00:31
But in this problem, we're just learning how to negate statements.
00:36
So please look at the statements that were given in this problem because i only have the negations here for you.
00:44
So for a, not p, that's how we denote a negation.
00:48
This means not p.
00:50
So one more thing to say about negations very quickly is the thing about negations is that either the original statement is true or the negation is true.
01:00
Both can't be true...
