Are p ? q and p ? (q ? r) logically equivalent?
Solution. 3. Use a truth table to show that ( p ? q) ? ( p ? r) and p ? ( q ? r) are logically equivalent. Solution. 4. Simplify the following statements (so that negation only appears right before variables).
Is P Q true if and P and Q have the same values?
Since p ? q is true if and p and q have the same truth values, in this course we will often build a truth table for the two statements and then remark on whether their columns are the same or different. Example 2.1.3. Prove the following are equivalent using a truth table. We use p ? q ? ¬ p ? q often enough that this has a name.
What is logical equivalence of statement forms P and Q?
The logical equivalence of statement forms P and Q is denoted by writing P Q. Two statements are called logically equivalent if, and only if, they have logically equivalent forms when identical component statement variables are used to replace identical component statements. 2.1 Logical Equivalence and Truth Tables 4 / 9 Logical Equivalence
Are (p?q) ? (p?r) and p? (q?r) logically equivalent?
Show that (p?q) ? (p?r) and p? (q?r) are logically equivalent without using truth tables, but using laws instead. (Hint: s and t are logically equivalent, if s?t is a tautology.
