construct a truth table for ~p-->~q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is pretty straight forward. do you know how to start it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I don't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c} p & q & \lnot{}p & \lnot{}q \\ \hline t & t & f & f \\ t & f & f & t\\ f & t & t & f \\ f & f & t & t \\ \hline \end{array} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first two columns give the four possible combinations of \(p\) and \(q\) being true or false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second two columns are the negation of each one that is, where \(p\) had a \(t\), we put \(\lnot p\) as \(f\) and vice versa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that clear so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the last column we need to put \(\lnot p\implies \lnot q\) we look only at the second two columns, and ignore the first two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a statement of that form is only false is the first one is true and the second one is false. otherwise it is true you get \[\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c} p & q & \lnot{}p & \lnot{}q & \lnot{}p\Rightarrow{}\lnot{}q \\ \hline t & t & f & f & t \\ t & f &f & t & t \\ f & t & t & f & f \\ f & f & t & t & t \\ \hline \end{array}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

takes a while to wrote these here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you would like to generate your own truth table, which use 0 and 1 for F and T i can send you a link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I would like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously you will have to do a little work to get the syntax correct, but they tell you what to write http://www.kwi.dk/projects/php/truthtable/?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make up your own and hit "display truth table" to get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and thanks
