4 an argument is valid if and only if it is impossible for the conclusion to be false while the premises are true an argument is invalid if and only if it is possible for the conclusion to be false while the premises are true
5
5 an argument is valid if and only if case there is no case in which the premises are true and the conclusion is false an argument is invalid if and only if case there is at least one case in which the premises are true and the conclusion is false

6 case A case is a possible combination of truth-values assigned to the atomic formulas.

27 logically equivalent Two formulas are logically equivalent if and only if they have the same truth-value no matter what (in every case).
28
28 not R and not S = not ( R and S) IT IS JUST LIKE MATH! ZOMBIE REASONING not R or not S = not ( R or S) x 2 + y 2 = ( x + y) 2 x + y = ( x + y)
