Math Problem Statement
Question 5 (1 point)
p → q
¬ (p ∨ q)
¬ q ↔ ¬ p
Every proposition in the above list is True when
Question 5 options:
None of the above
Both p and q are True
p is True and q is False
p is False and q is True
Both p and q are False
Solution
To determine when all the propositions in the list are true, we need to evaluate each one based on different truth values of and . The propositions given are:
Let's go step-by-step for each proposition:
Proposition 1: (Implication)
This means "if , then ." It's false only when is true and is false. In all other cases, it is true.
Proposition 2: (Negation of OR)
This is equivalent to (De Morgan's Law). It means that both and must be false for the proposition to be true.
Proposition 3: (Biconditional)
This is true when and have the same truth values. In other words, it is true if both and are either true together or false together.
Evaluating each case:
All true? | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
T | T | T | F | T | No |
T | F | F | F | F | No |
F | T | T | F | F | No |
F | F | T | T | T | Yes |
Conclusion:
All three propositions are true only when both and are false.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- Both and are False.
