Math Problem Statement

Fill in the truth table for proposition q∨(¬p→q) T T T F F T F F

Solution

To fill in the truth table for the proposition q(¬pq)q \vee (\neg p \rightarrow q), we need to first determine the truth value of the implication ¬pq\neg p \rightarrow q, and then compute the disjunction q(¬pq)q \vee (\neg p \rightarrow q).

The implication ¬pq\neg p \rightarrow q is true except when ¬p\neg p is true and qq is false.

Let's fill in the truth table step by step:

  1. Negation ¬p\neg p: Determine the truth value of ¬p\neg p.
  2. Implication ¬pq\neg p \rightarrow q: Determine the truth value of the implication based on ¬p\neg p and qq.
  3. Disjunction q(¬pq)q \vee (\neg p \rightarrow q): Determine the final truth value by combining qq with ¬pq\neg p \rightarrow q using the OR operation.

Here is the completed truth table:

\hline p & q & \neg p & \neg p \rightarrow q & q \vee (\neg p \rightarrow q) \\ \hline T & T & F & T & T \\ T & F & F & T & T \\ F & T & T & T & T \\ F & F & T & F & F \\ \hline \end{array}$$ ### Explanation: - **First row:** $$p = T$$, $$q = T$$, $$\neg p = F$$, $$\neg p \rightarrow q = T$$ (since $$\neg p$$ is false), so $$q \vee T = T$$. - **Second row:** $$p = T$$, $$q = F$$, $$\neg p = F$$, $$\neg p \rightarrow q = T$$ (since $$\neg p$$ is false), so $$q \vee T = T$$. - **Third row:** $$p = F$$, $$q = T$$, $$\neg p = T$$, $$\neg p \rightarrow q = T$$ (since both are true), so $$q \vee T = T$$. - **Fourth row:** $$p = F$$, $$q = F$$, $$\neg p = T$$, $$\neg p \rightarrow q = F$$ (since $$\neg p$$ is true and $$q$$ is false), so $$q \vee F = F$$. Would you like further details on any step or have other questions? Here are 5 related questions for further practice: 1. What is the truth table for $$\neg p \vee (\neg p \rightarrow q)$$? 2. How does $$p \rightarrow q$$ compare to $$\neg p \rightarrow q$$? 3. Can you create a truth table for $$(q \vee \neg p) \rightarrow q$$? 4. What is the truth table for $$q \vee (\neg p \wedge q)$$? 5. How would the truth table change for $$q \vee (\neg p \rightarrow \neg q)$$? **Tip:** For implications ($$\rightarrow$$), the only time the statement is false is when the first part (antecedent) is true and the second part (consequent) is false.
