Math Problem Statement
Select the truth table for the following expression: (p ⇒ q) ∨ r
Solution
The expression in the image is: .
Let's break this down to construct the truth table:
- is a conditional statement that is false only when is true and is false, and true otherwise.
- represents the logical "or" operator, which is true if at least one of the operands is true.
We need to evaluate for all possible combinations of truth values for , , and .
T | T | T | T | T |
T | T | F | T | T |
T | F | T | F | T |
T | F | F | F | F |
F | T | T | T | T |
F | T | F | T | T |
F | F | T | T | T |
F | F | F | T | T |
- Column 4 shows the evaluation of for each combination of and .
- Column 5 shows the evaluation of , which takes the result of and combines it with using logical "or."
