Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the given problem, step by step.
Part A: Determine truth values for the logical expressions
We are given the following truth assignments:
We will evaluate each expression based on these truth values.
a.
- means "if , then ". Since , is True (implication is true when the premise is false).
- is the negation of , so .
- : .
- is the conjunction of and . Since both and , .
- : Since and , .
So, the expression becomes:
.
b.
- : Since and , .
- : Since both and , .
- : .
- So, .
c.
- : Since and , .
- : .
- , and , so is .
So, the expression becomes:
.
Part B: Constructing truth tables
For Part B, we need to construct truth tables for the given expressions. Let's first write them out clearly.
a.
This involves 3 variables , , and , so the truth table will have 8 rows (since ).
b.
This also involves 3 variables , , and , so it will have 8 rows as well.
