Given: p = A square is a rectangle. q = The diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other. Which symbolic representation demonstrates the following statement? "A square is not a rectangle, and the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other." ~p ∧ ~q ~p ∨ ~q ~p ∧ q ~p ∨ q
hint- break the statement at "and"
ok..
you familiar with the 3 symbols : ~, v, ^
?
yeahh, and,or,niether.... rite i think.....
yes ^ : and v : or ~ : negation
lets get back to breaking the statement
"A square is not a rectangle, and the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other."
"A square is not a rectangle, and the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other."
now, you replace and with ^
so a ^ comes in between, right ?
ok yess makes sense..
big task is over. now you just need to SEE what first and last sentences mean
"A square is not a rectangle, ^ the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other."
is the first sentence same as p, or its opposite of p ?
soo correct me if i wrong but is the anwser the first choice!!!!
you are right! super !!!
first and last sentencces are opposites of p, q so it becomes ~p ^ ~q
you are the man, medal4 u dude!!!!
thank you... :D
