Math Problem Statement
truth table
Solution
Let's construct the truth table for the given logical expression:
We'll break down the expression into simpler components and then build the truth table.
Components to Evaluate:
Truth Table:
We'll consider all possible truth values for and .
T | T | F | F | T | F | T | T | T |
T | F | F | T | F | T | T | T | F |
F | T | T | F | T | F | F | T | T |
F | F | T | T | F | T | T | T | F |
Conclusion:
- The expression evaluates to true (
T
) when bothp
andq
are true or whenp
is false andq
is true. - The expression evaluates to false (
F
) in the other cases.
