Math Problem Statement

truth table

Solution

Let's construct the truth table for the given logical expression:

(¬pq)[(¬qp)(p¬q)](\neg p \rightarrow q) \land [(\neg q \leftrightarrow p) \rightarrow (p \lor \neg q)]

We'll break down the expression into simpler components and then build the truth table.

Components to Evaluate:

  1. ¬p\neg p
  2. ¬q\neg q
  3. ¬pq\neg p \rightarrow q
  4. ¬qp\neg q \leftrightarrow p
  5. p¬qp \lor \neg q
  6. (¬qp)(p¬q)(\neg q \leftrightarrow p) \rightarrow (p \lor \neg q)
  7. (¬pq)[(¬qp)(p¬q)](\neg p \rightarrow q) \land [(\neg q \leftrightarrow p) \rightarrow (p \lor \neg q)]

Truth Table:

We'll consider all possible truth values for pp and qq.

ppqq¬p\neg p¬q\neg q¬pq\neg p \rightarrow q¬qp\neg q \leftrightarrow pp¬qp \lor \neg q(¬qp)(p¬q)(\neg q \leftrightarrow p) \rightarrow (p \lor \neg q)(¬pq)[(¬qp)(p¬q)](\neg p \rightarrow q) \land [(\neg q \leftrightarrow p) \rightarrow (p \lor \neg q)]

Conclusion:

  • The expression evaluates to true (T) when both p and q are true or when p is false and q is true.
  • The expression evaluates to false (F) in the other cases.
