Chapter 3 - Logic - 3.2 Compound Statements and Connectives - Exercise Set 3.2 - Page 134: 95

Answer

Simple statements are: p: You are wealthy. q: You are happy. r: You live contentedly. Symbolic form is \[\sim \left( p\to \left( q\wedge r \right) \right)\]

Work Step by Step

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 statements. p: You are wealthy. q: You are happy. r: You live contentedly. Use the representation to re-write the statement as: It is not true that, p is a sufficient condition for q and r. ‘Sufficient condition’ is represented by the symbol ‘\[\to \]’, ‘And’ is represented by the symbol ‘\[\wedge \]’, and ‘Not’ is represented by the symbol ‘\[\sim \]’. Use the symbols to write the compound statement in symbolic form as: \[\sim \left( p\to \left( q\wedge r \right) \right)\]
