Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
$R\ \rightarrow\ (A\ \&\ B)$
$P\ v\ \sim\ (S\ \&\ T)$
$\sim\  T\ \&\ \sim\  P$
$(A\ \&\ B)\ \rightarrow\ (S\ \&\ T)$
$(\sim\  R\ \&\ \sim\ T)\ v\ D$

Answer

$(1)\ R\ \rightarrow\ (A\ \&\ B )$ $P$
$(2)\ P\ v\ \sim\ (S\ \&\ T)$ $P$
$(3)\ \sim\  T\ \&\ \sim\ P$ $P$
$(4)\ (A\ \&\ B)\ \rightarrow\ (S\ \&\ T)$ $P/\ (\sim\ R\ \&\ \sim \ T)\ v\ D$
$(5)\ \sim\  P$ $3,$ Simp.
$(6)\ \sim\ (S\ \&\ T)$ $2, 5, DS$
$(7)\ \sim\ (A\ \&\ B)$ $4, 6, MT$
$(8)\ \sim\ R$ $1, 7, MT$
$(9)\ \sim\ T$ $3,$ Simp.
$(10)\ \sim\ R\ \&\ \sim\ T$ $8, 9,$ Conj.
$(11)\ (\sim\  R\ \&\ \sim\ T)\ v\ D$ $10,$ Add.
