Question

plzz help.
How do I prove p∧(pvq)=p using laws of algebra of propositions

Answer 1

Do you have this theorem? Let A(x) be a statement involving x. If ~x ^ A(x) is always false, then A(x) = x.

If so, then notice ~p ^ p ^ (pvq) = FALSE, hence p ^ (pvq) = p.

Another way is ....

Answer 2

p∧(pvq) = (p^p) v (p^q)
= p v (p ^ q), because p^p = p
= p , because if p is false then both p and p^q are false.

Answer 3

pvq would have to be = 1

Answer 4

1/vq=p

Answer 5

1/vq=p

that is not a :P
