Answer

r ↔ ~(p ᴧ q)

Work Step by Step

Let p. q and r represent the three simple statements obtained by breaking down the given complex statement. Thus, p: I like the teacher. q: The course is interesting. r: I miss the class. I miss class if and only if it’s not true that I both like the teacher and the course is interesting. The symbolic representation is: ~(p ᴧ q): it’s not true that both I like the teacher and the course is interesting. r ↔ ~(p ᴧ q): I miss class if and only if it’s not true that I both like the teacher and the course is interesting.
