Part 1: Fill in the missing row of the truth table. Part 2: Are the two statements logically equivalent? Why or why not? ~(p ∧ q) and (p ∨ ~q)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLEASE HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think F, T, F, F,T,F,F @jim_thompson5910 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got it correct, very nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay but idk how to do the second part ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well the last column in your table is a big hint

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when I say something like p <---> q, I'm making the statement that p and q are logically equivalent. If my statement is correct, then p <---> q is true But if my statement is false, then p <---> q is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont understand it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

alright look at it like this

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

two logical statements are equivalent if and only if their truth values are the same (for each possible case)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so are the truth values in the second to last column and the last column the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so it is logically equivilant right ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, they are not the same

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the 3rd row is different

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so because the two columns are different, the two logical expressions are not equivalent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ! wait i get it. The only way they would be logically equivalent is if they have the same truth values, and they dont, so it is not logically equivilant ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankyou so much

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome
