Math Problem Statement

Buatalah tabel kebenaran simbol logika berikut (logic truth tables), including statements like ¬p, ∧ (and), ∨ (or), ↔ (biconditional), and → (implication).

Solution

Let's go through the two sections of the questions shown in the image.

SOAL 1:

  1. b. Convert the sentence "Kevin sedang mengerjakan PR jika..." into symbolic logic.

    • This is a conditional statement, "Kevin is doing his homework if...". In symbolic logic, "if... then" statements are represented using the implication symbol (→).
    • If we assume:
      • KK = "Kevin is doing his homework",
      • XX represents the condition or part following "if...",
    • The symbolic representation would be: XKX \rightarrow K.
  2. c. Translate the symbolic expression:

    • The given expression is: ¬q¬s\neg q \vee \neg s.
    • In logic, ¬\neg means "not", and \vee means "or".
    • This translates to: "Either not q or not s". In natural language, it means "q is false or s is false".

SOAL 2:

You are tasked with constructing truth tables for several logical expressions.

  1. A. ¬(¬pq)\neg (\neg p \leftrightarrow q)

    • The biconditional (↔) means "if and only if," and ¬\neg is the negation.
    • Create a truth table for all possible combinations of pp and qq, calculate ¬pq\neg p \leftrightarrow q, and then negate it.
  2. B. (¬p(¬qr))(qr)(pr)(\neg p \land (\neg q \land r)) \vee (q \land r) \vee (p \land r)

    • Break down the logical operators and evaluate each part for all combinations of p,q,rp, q, r.
  3. C. (pq)¬(pq)(p \land q) \vee \neg (p \vee q)

    • Calculate pqp \land q, pqp \vee q, and ¬(pq)\neg (p \vee q), then evaluate the disjunction.
  4. D. ¬p(q¬r)\neg p \land (q \vee \neg r)

    • Calculate q¬rq \vee \neg r and ¬p\neg p, then evaluate the conjunction.
  5. E. ¬pq¬q\neg p \vee q \rightarrow \neg q

    • Treat this as an implication and evaluate the truth values accordingly.

Questions:

  1. What is the symbolic form of a biconditional statement in logic?
  2. How do you create a truth table for a complex expression involving three variables?
  3. What is the difference between \vee (OR) and \land (AND) in logical operations?
  4. How would you translate a negation of an entire expression into words?
  5. What are the steps to solve an implication statement in symbolic logic?

Tip:

When solving logical problems, always break down complex expressions into smaller parts, and evaluate each step carefully.
