Chapter 3: Problem 9

Construct a truth table for the given statement. \((p \vee q) \rightarrow r\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Truth table: \[(p, q, r)\] values - (T, T, T) results in T; (T, T, F) results in F; (T, F, T) results in T; (T, F, F) results in F; (F, T, T) results in T; (F, T, F) results in F; (F, F, T) results in T; (F, F, F) results in T.

Step by step solution

01

Identify Variables

There are three variables in this logical statement: p, q, and r. These variables can either be TRUE or FALSE.
02

Create Basic Truth Table

Start by creating a table with four rows representing each of the possible combination of truth values of p, q, and r. Each column represents one variable and there should be eight possible combinations (2鲁).
03

Calculate \( p \vee q \) Values

For every row, compute the truth value of \( p \vee q \). Remember that the logical OR operation is TRUE if either p, q, or both are TRUE, and FALSE only if both are FALSE.
04

Determine Results of Entire Statement

Evaluate the truth value of the entire proposition \( (p \vee q) \rightarrow r \). Remember, a conditional statement is TRUE when either the first part is FALSE or both parts are TRUE. It is FALSE only when the first part is TRUE but the second part is FALSE.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Use Euler diagrams to determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. All dancers are athletes. Savion Glover is an athlete. Therefore, Savion Glover is a dancer.

Use Euler diagrams to determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. All insects have six legs. No spiders have six legs. Therefore, no spiders are insects.

Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. "I do know that this pencil exists; but I could not know this if Hume's principles were true. Therefore, Hume's principles, one or both of them, are false."

Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. It is the case that \(x<5\) or \(x>8\), but \(x \geq 5\), so \(x>8\).

Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If all people obey the law, then no jails are needed. Some jails are needed. \(\therefore\) Some people do not obey the law.
