Dmath Solve Material Notes

The document provides examples of expressing logical propositions in English and constructing truth tables. It gives 4 propositions involving variables p and q and constructs truth tables to determine the truth values for each proposition based on given values for p and q. It then provides 3 additional examples, assigning TRUE to p and FALSE to q, and uses truth tables to evaluate the expressions.

Assignment/Seatwork

Let p and q be propositions:


p : Christina is a Computer Science major.
q : Leonardo is an Information Technology major.
Express each of these proposition as an English sentence.
1. q Leonardo is not an Information Technology major.
2. p ^ q Christina is not a Computer Science major and Leonardo is
an Information Technology major.
3. p q Christina is not a Computer Science major then Leonardo is
not an Information Technology major.
4. p q Christina is a Computer Science major if and only if Leonardo
is an Information Technology major.
Construct a truth matrix for each of these compound propositions
