Answer

Use the following representations to determine the symbolic form of the provided statements. \[\begin{align} & p:\text{ We will replace } \\ & q:\text{ We will repair the roof} \\ & r:\text{ We will sell the house} \\ \end{align}\] The statement “We will neither replace nor repair the roof, and we will sell the house” in the symbolic form is\[\left( \tilde{\ }p\wedge \tilde{\ }q \right)\wedge r\]. The negation of \[\tilde{\ }\left( p\wedge q \right)\wedge r\] is\[\left( p\vee q \right)\vee \tilde{\ }r\]. Hence, the statement form of \[\left( p\vee q \right)\vee \tilde{\ }r\] is “We will either replace or repair the roof, or we will not sell the house.”
