determine the truth value of the statement when p is T , q is F , and r is F. ~ [(q ∧ r) ] → [(~p V r)] please show work!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well break it down. What is (q^r)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f^f

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the result of that is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

flase

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. And ~F is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F ∨ F)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no. ~(q v r) is ~False is True right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so then we have implies, and so the truth of the implication depends on the truth of the right side then. So... What is (~p v r)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tVf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

~T v F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is F v F is F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oki get it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we have T -> F Therefore F.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just have to work it one piece at a time starting with inner most parens.

Just like other math
