Thinking Mathematically Truth Tables for Negation, Conjunction, and Disjunction
“Truth Tables” - Negation If a statement is true then its negation is false and if the statement is false then its negation is true. This can be represented in the form of a table called a “truth table.”
The Definition of Conjunction A conjunction is true only when both simple statements are true.
The Definition of Disjunction A disjunction is false only when both component statements are false.
Definitions of Negation, Conjunction, and Disjunction Negation ~: not The negation of a statement has the opposite truth value from the statement. 2. Conjunction /\: and The only case in which a conjunction is true is when both component statements are true. Disjunction: \/: or The only case in which a disjunction is false is when both component statements are false.
Constructing a Truth Table Construct a truth table for (p/\~q)\/q).
Do a truth table that includes both of the following Do a truth table that includes both of the following. ~(p/\q) and ~p\/~q Discuss the corresponding De Morgan Law. Relate it to set theory.
