Can someone help me make a truth table please p q ~p (q V~p) p <-->(qV~p)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What've you got so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p q ~p (q V~p) p <-->(qV~p) t t f t t f f f t t f t t f f f f t t t f f t t f t t t f f t t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you did too many rows again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p ↔ (q V ~p) this is the orignal problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only 2 independent variables, so only need 2^2 rows.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he will when he's done helping me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c} p & q & \lnot p &q \vee \lnot p & p \iff (q \vee \lnot p)\\ \hline T & T & F & T\\ \hline T & F & F & F\\ \hline F & T & T & T\\ \hline F & F & T & T\\ \hline \end{array}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kush, stop spamming please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, for the last column it is true only if the left and right sides of the \(\iff \) are the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean ? polpak . when i spammed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Chatting in here and trying to get my attention is spamming and it's rude to sandii

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he's trying to help me.. he will be there shortly... ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please wait, and if your question is not answered when I am finished I will try to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So did that make sense sandii?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the left and right side are the same, then it's T otherwise it's F.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the column 4 and column 1 should both be T in order to be true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, They should both be the SAME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even if they are both F the 'if and only if' is T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the p column would be the if and only if right? in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No \(\iff\) means 'if and only if'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but in the problem its p<--> (qV~p)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you PLEASE stop Kush... I am trying to learn this~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am deleting your nonsense spam because it is rude and obstructive. Since you refuse to stop, you get to have a short break from this site. Enjoy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i undestand you need help too but other people need help too~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

polpak ignore him.. i am going to try.. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The simple version: \[\begin{array}{|c|c|c} g & y & g \iff y \\ \hline T & T & T \\ \hline T & F & F \\ \hline F & T& F \\ \hline F & F & T\end{array}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I don't need to ignore him. He gets to come back in 3 hours after he has calmed down. Until then he will leave us in peace.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he does this all the time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No idea. But he did it this time, and I'm tired of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok back to question.. i'm still confused..lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So as I said before. If the left and the right side of the \(\iff \) are the same, then it is true. Otherwise it is false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at my simple version

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we want to do the same thing for \\[p \iff (q \vee \lnot p)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont get it.... sorry... so when looking left and right side of which column?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if columns p and q are the same right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the expression on the left side of the \(\iff\) and on the right side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is on the left side of the \(\iff\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be T for row 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p is on the left side. And for row 1 p is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or am i looking in the wrong place?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m back again , i have 1000s of accounts polpak for u . only .. understood u can not do anything . u do not deserve to be a moderator. u r misusing ur power .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u would also report me now i would be back again understood

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are ya kidding me math? please ... just wait your turn!~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmn sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

carry on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[p\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \iff \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (q \vee \lnot p)\]^left side ^ right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... so on the right side would be row 1 T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. So if the left side and the right side have the same value, the the \(\iff\) statement is true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2nd row would be t and f so it would be False for answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

third row would be f and t which would be F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the same for the 4th row.. f and t which is F for final column

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Indeed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now im starting to understand this :) ty very much for helping me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome, sorry for the nonsense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awww no biggie. :) it happens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He keeps showing up, I'll keep suspending him.

Glad to help =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm sure i will be back.. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh boy here we go again... lol
