Question
Determine whether the following statement patterns is a tautology or a contradiction or a contingency:
[~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)]
[~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)]
✓
Answer
[~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)]
All the entries in the last column of the above truth table are F.
∴ [~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)] is a contradiction.
All the entries in the last column of the above truth table are F.
∴ [~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)] is a contradiction.
