Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. Having a college degree is necessary for obtaining a teaching position. You do not obtain a teaching position, so you do not have a college degree.
Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &p \rightarrow q \\ &\underline{q \rightarrow r} \\ &\therefore r \rightarrow p \end{aligned} $$
Use the standard forms of valid arguments to draw a valid conclusion from the given premises. The writers of My Mother the Car were told by the network to improve their scripts or be dropped from prime time. The writers of My Mother the Car did not improve their scripts. Therefore, ...
Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &\sim p \wedge q \\ &\frac{p \leftrightarrow r}{\therefore p \wedge r} \end{aligned} $$
Use Euler diagrams to determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. All thefts are immoral acts. Some thefts are justifiable. Therefore, some immoral acts are justifiable.
