If P is true, Q is false, and R is true, find the truth value of the statement: (~P V Q-> ~ Q)

OpenStudy (jamesj):

A -> B is true if A true, B true A false, B true A false, B false and false otherwise (i.e., when A true, B false) Hence for your statement (~P V Q-> ~ Q) determine the truth value of both sides of the implication sign -> and compare with the table above

Thank you so much for your help:)

OpenStudy (jamesj):

The other way to do this problem is to use the fact that A->B is logically equivalent to ~(A^~B). Hence (~P V Q-> ~ Q) is equivalent to ~((~P V Q)^~~Q) equiv to ~((~P v Q)^Q) equiv to ~Q
