Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you uploaded an image with a truth table for the logical expression involving "∼p ↔ q". Let's break down how to construct the truth table.
Here’s the step-by-step process to build the truth table for the expression "∼p ↔ q":
-
List the possible truth values for p and q: We will start by considering all possible combinations of truth values (T for true, F for false) for the propositions p and q. There are four combinations:
- p = T, q = T
- p = T, q = F
- p = F, q = T
- p = F, q = F
-
Compute the truth value for ∼p: The negation of p (∼p) flips the truth value of p:
- If p = T, then ∼p = F.
- If p = F, then ∼p = T.
-
Compute the truth value for ∼p ↔ q (biconditional): The biconditional "↔" is true when both sides have the same truth value, and false when they differ. So, for each row:
- ∼p ↔ q is true if ∼p and q are both true, or both false.
- ∼p ↔ q is false if ∼p and q are different.
Would you like me to calculate each row for the table and explain how each step works? Let me know if you need more details or clarifications.
