Answer
The given compound statement can be written in simple statements as \[p,\text{ }q,\text{ and }r\]. Here, \[p,\text{ }q,\text{ and }r\] represents three simple statement`s.
p: My doctor told me I had only six minutes to live.
q: I would brood.
\[r\]: I would type a little faster.
Use the representation to re-write the statement as:
If p, not q and r.
‘If-then’ is represented by the symbol ‘\[\to \]’, ‘And’ is represented by the symbol ‘\[\wedge \]’, and ‘Not’ is represented by the symbol ‘\[\tilde{\ }\]’.
Use the symbols to write the compound statement in symbolic form as:
\[p\to \left( \tilde{\ }q\wedge r \right)\]
