Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image asks to determine the truth value of a compound statement given the following information:
- is false ()
- is true ()
- is true ()
The compound statement is: [ {[(P \cup \neg Q) \land R] \cup [(P \land \neg Q) \land \neg R] } \cup [P \land (\neg Q \lor \neg R)] ]
Let's break this down step-by-step using the truth values provided.
Step 1: Break down the compound statement into parts
-
- (since )
-
- From above,
-
-
- From above,
- (since )
-
- Both parts are
-
-
Step 2: Evaluate the whole statement
Now the final expression is:
Conclusion
The truth value of the compound statement is false.
