Math Problem Statement

If p is true and q is false, what is the truth value of p ∧ q?

Solution

The symbol pqp \wedge q represents the logical conjunction (AND) of pp and qq. For a conjunction to be true, both pp and qq must be true.

In this case:

  • pp is true
  • qq is false

Since qq is false, the conjunction pqp \wedge q is false.

  1. What is the truth value of pqp \vee q (OR) if pp is true and qq is false?
  2. What is the truth value of pqp \Rightarrow q (implication) when pp is true and qq is false?
  3. How does the truth table for conjunction pqp \wedge q look like?
  4. What happens if both pp and qq are false in a conjunction?
  5. How is logical equivalence defined in truth tables?

Tip: In logical operations, conjunction (AND) is only true when all involved statements are true.
