Math Problem Statement
Construct a truth table for the given statement: [p ∧ (q ∨ ¬p)] ∨ r.
Solution
To construct the truth table for the given logical expression:
We need to proceed step by step by evaluating each part separately. Let's go through the table:
Columns to be filled:
- : Negation of
- : Logical OR between and
- : Logical AND between and
- : Logical OR between the previous result and
Step-by-Step Solution:
T | T | T | F | T | T | T |
T | T | F | F | T | T | T |
T | F | T | F | F | F | T |
T | F | F | F | F | F | F |

F | F | F | T | T | F | F |
Explanation:
- is just the opposite of .
- is true if either is true or is true.
- is true if both and are true.
- Finally, is true if either or is true.
