Math Problem Statement

Complete the truth tables for the given logical expressions.

Solution

The image you provided shows two truth tables involving logical expressions. Let's break down the two tables and focus on how to fill them out.

Table 1:

It looks like we are working with the following expressions:

  • p, q, r are propositions.
  • You need to evaluate the truth values for the negations and implications.
  1. For the column ~q, the truth value will be the negation of q.
  2. For r → ~q, this represents an implication where r is the premise, and ~q is the conclusion. The truth value for an implication is false only if the premise is true and the conclusion is false.
  3. Finally, the expression (r → ~q) ↔ p is a biconditional, meaning it is true when both sides (r → ~q and p) have the same truth value.

Table 2:

Here, we are working with the following:

  • a, b, c are propositions.
  • The expression involves negations (~a, ~c) and implications (b ↔ ~a, ~c → a).
  • The final expression is a conjunction of two parts: (b ↔ ~a) ∧ (~c → a).

For each part, evaluate the truth values of the smaller components and fill in the table.
