Truth Values of Conjunctions

A. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the conjunction p and q. Then find its truth value.p: One foot is 14 inches.q: September has 30 days.r: A plane is defined by three noncollinear points.

Answer: p and q: One foot is 14 inches, and September has 30 days. Although q is true, p is false. So, the conjunction of p and q is false.


Truth Values of Conjunctions

B. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the conjunction ~p r. Then find its truth value.p: One foot is 14 inches.q: September has 30 days.r: A plane is defined by three noncollinear points.

Answer: ~p r : A foot is not 14 inches, and a plane is defined by three noncollinear points. ~p r is true, because ~p is true and r is true.

B. A square does not have five sides and a turtle is not a bird; true.

C. A square does not have five sides and a turtle is a bird; false.

D. A turtle is not a bird and June is the sixth month of the year; true.

B. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for ~q ~r. Then find its truth value.p: June is the sixth month of the year.q: A square has five sides.r: A turtle is a bird.


Truth Values of Disjunctions

A. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the disjunction p or q. Then find its truth value.

p: is proper notation for “segment AB.”q: Centimeters are metric units.r: 9 is a prime number.

Answer: is proper notation for “segment AB,” or centimeters are metric units. Both p and q are true, so p or q is true.



Answer: Centimeters are metric units, or 9 is a prime number. q r is true because q is true. It does not matter that r is false.

B. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the disjunction q r. Then find its truth value.




C. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the disjunction ~ p r. Then find its truth value.


Answer: AB is not proper notation for “segment AB,” or 9 is a prime number. Since not p and r are both false, ~p r is false.

•Truth table--A convenient way to organize truth values.


Construct Truth Tables

A. Construct a truth table for ~p q.

Step 1 Make columns with the heading p, q, ~p, and ~p q.




Step 2 List the possible combinations of truth values for p and q.




Step 3 Use the truth values of p to determine the truth values of ~p.




Step 4 Use the truth values of ~p and q to write the truth values for ~p q.

Answer:



B. Construct a truth table for p (~q r).

Step 1 Make columns with the headings p, q, r, ~q, ~q r, and p (~q r).




Step 2 List the possible combinations of truth values for p, q, and r.




Step 3 Use the truth values of q to determine the truth values of ~q.




Step 4 Use the truth values for q and r to write the truth values for ~q r.




Step 5 Use the truth values for ~q r and p to write the truth values for p (~q r).
