p ↔ ¬p Tautology Contradiction Neither a tautology or a contradiction

Contradiction

The statement ∃x P(x) asserts that

P(x) is true for at least one possible value for x in its domain.

The symbol ∃ is an

existential quantifier

Conditional identities

p → q ≡ ¬p ∨ q p ↔ q ≡ ( p → q ) ∧ ( q → p )

Commutative laws:

p ∨ q ≡ q ∨ p p ∧ q ≡ q ∧ p

he logical statement ∃x P(x) is read

"There exists an x, such that P(x)".

The logical statement ∀x P(x) is read

"for all x, P(x)" or "for every x, P(x)".

Associative laws:

( p ∨ q ) ∨ r ≡ p ∨ ( q ∨ r ) ( p ∧ q ) ∧ r ≡ p ∧ ( q ∧ r )

A compound proposition is a ____________ if the proposition is always false, regardless of the truth value of the individual propositions that occur in it.

Contradiction

Show whether each logical expression is a tautology, contradiction or neither. (p → q) ↔ (p ∧ ¬q)

Contradiction. Every truth value in the column for (p → q) ↔ (p ∧ ¬q) is F. p q (p → q) ↔ (p ∧ ¬q) T T F T F F F T F F F F

Prove that the following pairs of expressions are not logically equivalent. ¬p → q and ¬p ∨ q

Prove that the following pairs of expressions are not logically equivalent. p ∧ (p → q) and p ∨ q

When p = T and q = F (or when p = F and q = T), then p ∧ (p → q) is false and p ∨ q is true.

A counterexample for a universally quantified statement is

an element in the domain for which the predicate is false. A single counterexample is sufficient to show that a universally quantified statement is false.

the statement ∃x P(x) is called a

existentially quantified statement

logically equivalent

if they have the same truth value regardless of the truth values of their individual propositions.

The domain of a variable in a predicate

is the set of all possible values for the variable. For example, a natural domain for the variable x in the predicate "x is an odd number" would be the set of all integers.

Translate each English sentence into a logical expression using the propositional variables defined below. Then negate the entire logical expression using parentheses and the negation operation. Apply De Morgan's law to the resulting expression and translate the final logical expression back into English. p: the applicant has written permission from his parents e: the applicant is at least 18 years old s: the applicant is at least 16 years old The applicant has written permission from his parents or is at least 18 years old.

p ∨ e ¬(p ∨ e) ¬p ∧ ¬e The applicant does not have written permission from his parents and is not at least 18 years old.

A logical statement whose truth value is a function of one or more variables is called a

predicate

A compound proposition is a _________ if the proposition is always true, regardless of the truth value of the individual propositions that occur in it.
