Construct a truth table for q ~p and

OpenStudy (chriss):

and what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the middle element is a right arrow in the middle

OpenStudy (chriss):

q -> ~p Is that what you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (chriss):

ok, that arrow means "then" so the expression you have actually means ig q then not p P Q ~P Q->~P T T F F T F F T F T T T F F F T

OpenStudy (chriss):

*if q then not p sorry for the typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnks chris

OpenStudy (chriss):

you're welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have one more for you if you dont mind, thanks

OpenStudy (chriss):

go ahead

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Construct a truth table for (p ^ ~q) ↔ p

OpenStudy (chriss):

So this one means (P and not Q) iff and only if P P Q ~Q (P ^ ~Q) ((P ^ ~Q) <-> P) T T F F F T F T T T F T F F T F F T F T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for all the help

OpenStudy (chriss):

you're welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[(~pV~q) ^ ~q] is this true or false

OpenStudy (chriss):

It's not strictly true or false. It is true if Q is not true and false if Q is true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me give you entire question given:Let p represent a true statement, while q and r represent false statements. Find the truth value of the compound statement

OpenStudy (chriss):

That goes with this expression? [(~pV~q) ^ ~q]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (chriss):

Based on the scenario given in the question, is Q true or false?

OpenStudy (chriss):

Let p represent a true statement, while q and r represent false statements.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let p represent a true statement, while q and r represent false statements. Find the truth value of the compound statement. [(~p V ~q) ^ ~q] True False

OpenStudy (chriss):

Right, so is Q true or false based on the information they gave you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i say TRUE. is that right

OpenStudy (chriss):

You say that Q is true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (chriss):

Read the question and what does it say specifically about Q and R?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the key word in the statement is "False"

OpenStudy (chriss):

right, so Q is false. Now let's look at what I gave you as the answer before you gave me the whole question... It is true if Q is not true and false if Q is true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i understand now, thks 4 ur time

OpenStudy (chriss):

So if Q is false, the compound statement is true If Q is true then the compound statement is false.

OpenStudy (chriss):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the statement in symbols using the p and q given below. Then construct a truth table for the symbolic statement and select the best match. p = I eat too much. q = I'll exercise. I'll exercise if I eat too much.

OpenStudy (chriss):

I had this backwards... it should be this... P -> Q P Q P -> Q T T T <-- Best Match T F T F T F F F T
