"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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint- break the statement at "and"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you familiar with the 3 symbols : ~, v, ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahh, and,or,niether.... rite i think.....

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ^ : and v : or ~ : negation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets get back to breaking the statement

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

"A square is not a rectangle, and the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other."

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

"A square is not a rectangle, and the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other."

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

now, you replace and with ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so a ^ comes in between, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yess makes sense..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

big task is over. now you just need to SEE what first and last sentences mean

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

"A square is not a rectangle, ^ the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular bisectors of each other."

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is the first sentence same as p, or its opposite of p ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo correct me if i wrong but is the anwser the first choice!!!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you are right! super !!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first and last sentencces are opposites of p, q so it becomes ~p ^ ~q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are the man, medal4 u dude!!!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
