Math Problem Statement
Is this correct
Is the truth table for p -> ~q correct?
Solution
Let's analyze the truth table to check if it is correct for the given logical statement (read as "if , then not ").
Here’s how we approach the problem:
-
Given Statement:
-
Negation of ():
- , then
- , then
-
Implication :
- Implication is false only if and (i.e., and ). Otherwise, it is true.
Now, let's check the table:
T | T | F | F |
T | F | T | T |
F | T | F | T |
F | F | T | T |
Comparison with the provided table:
The table you uploaded shows:
T | T | F |
T | F | T |
F | T | T |
F | F | T |
It matches the correct truth table for , so yes, the truth table is correct.
Would you like more details on truth tables or implications? Here are some related questions:
- How does the implication work logically?
- What happens if both and are false in an implication?
- Can you explain the difference between and ?
- What is the significance of the negation in logical statements?
- How would a truth table look for the expression ?
Tip: In logic, an implication is only false when the first part is true, and the second part is false.
