Math Problem Statement
Create two statements, p and q, of your choice. Then find the truth value for ¬𝑝 ∨ ¬𝑞.
Solution
Let's create two statements and determine the truth value for (the logical OR of the negations of and ).
Statements:
- : "The sky is blue."
- : "The sun is shining."
Assigning Truth Values:
- ("The sky is blue"): This statement is true (assuming it's a clear day).
- ("The sun is shining"): This statement is also true (assuming it's daytime and clear).
Negations:
- : "The sky is not blue." This is false because the sky is blue.
- : "The sun is not shining." This is false because the sun is shining.
Finding :
The statement is true if at least one of or is true.
- Since both and are false, is false.
Summary:
- is false.

Relative Questions:
- What is the truth value of for the given statements?
- How would the truth value of change if were false?
- What is the truth value of for the given statements?
- How would the truth value of be affected if were false?
- Can ever be true? Under what conditions?
Tip:
When dealing with logical negations, it’s helpful to first determine the truth value of the original statements before applying the negation. This makes it easier to evaluate more complex logical expressions like .
