Translate the statement "you cannot watch the movie if you are under 18 years old unless you are accompanied by your parents" into a logical expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If u r >=18 or Accompanied by your parents then U can watch movie

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that's not really a logical expression....

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i assume this will be the start: p: you can watch the movie q: you are under 18 r: you are accompanied by your paretns

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not q or r then p

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\(r \wedge q) \rightarrow p\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I am not familiar with those symbols

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm seems it should be \[(q \wedge \neg r) \rightarrow \neg p\] why?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

hmmmmm let me think abt this one

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that would be splendid

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

if you are under 18 years old and not accompanied by a parent then you can not watch the movie p=under 18 years old q=accompanied by a parent r=unable to watch movie

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

mmhmm

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

(p^~q)->r

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

should be (p^~q) -> ~r

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

give me one more sec I doubt its (p^q)->r

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yeah...i just said what it is supposed to be

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ya so then its that

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

question is...why?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

if you are under 18 years old and not accompanied by a parent then you can not watch the movie p=if you are under 18 years old q=accompanied by a parent r= can watch movie

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

....you're just repeating yourself...

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

nope I changed what r symblizes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh. so it's going to be (p ^ ~q) -> ~r still i ask..why?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

which part is confusing? Ok for starters I switched around the order of the sentence. I put the result which was cannot watch movie at the end of the sentence So basically i rearranged the sentence so that the 2 conditions are in the beginning unless accompanied by an adult is another way of saying not accompanied by an adult

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

main part is (p ^ ~q)

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

I am not sure what is confusing you. The hard part is rearranging the sentence

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i just said what was confusing me....

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

okkk we need 2 conditions in order to not be able to go to the movie 1) under 18 years of age 2) not accompanied by a parent Under 18 years of age is in a postive form p=under 18 years of age Not accompanied by a parent is in a negative form ~q= not accompanied by parent q=accompanied by parent

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

^ means and yes?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

So if you are under 18 years of age and NOT accompanied by a parent Then you can NOT watch the movie (p^~q)=~r ^=and

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm so 18 andnot accompanied by parent implies no watch?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Correct

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Actually no, under 18 and not accompanied implies no watch.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

thanks

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh...yeah...bad wording

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

18 implies watch

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

under 18 implies bad dreams

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

under 18 implies music chatbox

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

HAHAHAH LOL

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

What happens if you frequent music chat when you are older than 18?
