Answer 6

I do not know for sure if temperature can be relative. But in this case i think it is safe to say that it is. So would the negation of (p) 'depend' on what you are comparing the magnitude of temperature to? @Directrix

Answer 7

I applied the rules of elementary symbolic logic.
~p is the negation of p and ~(~p) --> p

Answer 8

but you also said that 'it depends' is a wrong answer
