OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

i just don't understand the question. like i know the whole law thing, but i need an explanation on how to work them out

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

thank you! this will definately help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so look at the conclusion last

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29: r->p p->q This is Transitivity (its like a chain)

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

sooo r -> q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea like in the table

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont think 30 is valid. p->r and p->~r sounds like a contradiction

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

hang on a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29. Transitivity 30. Invalid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you figure out 31?

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

contradiction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the two on the table that start with modus

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

my only choices are syllogism, contrapositive, and detachment....i think it might be contrapositive :T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea you get modus tollens from the contrapositive

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

oh okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p->q becomes ~q -> ~p so you have ~q -> ~p ~q therefore ~p

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

okay
