Answer 1

please help me understand this

Answer 2

OK, you're supposed to test each of these statements with all possible conditions. So far we have both true, both false, p true q false, and ____. ~ means "not", ^ means and, v means or.

Answer 3

um I still don't get it tho. how do we tell if it's gonna be true or false? @numb3rl

Answer 4

You put in all possibilities in the p and q columns, then describe what it does to the two statements.

Answer 5

Possibilities of what? i see examples here in my course but why is there 4 columns of tftf?

Answer 6

OK, the first column lists possibilities for p. It can be true or false. The second lists possibilities for q. It can also be true or false. Right now, out of the four possibilities, only three are represented. The fourth is the missing row.
