Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given task asks for the symbolic representation of a compound statement based on the definitions of , , and :
- : It is snowing outside.
- : It is cold.
- : It is cloudy.
The compound statement is:
"If it is not snowing outside, then it is not cold and it is not cloudy."
Solution:
- "If it is not snowing outside" translates to .
- "It is not cold" translates to .
- "It is not cloudy" translates to .
- "It is not cold and it is not cloudy" is .
- The entire compound statement, using the "if-then" logic (), becomes:
Final Answer:
