LOGIC Chapter 2 – Lesson 2
2
LOGIC Objectives Determine truth values of negations, conjunctions, and disjunctions, and represent them using Venn diagrams. Find counterexamples.

LOGIC Keywords- Statement – a sentence that is either true or false Truth value – either (T) for true or (F) for false for a statement Negation – giving the opposite meaning to a statement Compound statement – two or more statements joined by AND or OR Conjunction – a compound statement using only AND Disjunction – a compound statement using only OR Truth table – a convenient way for organizing the truth values of a statement
4
LOGIC For example: p: A rectangle is a quadrilateral What is it’s truth value? TRUE ~p: A rectangle is NOT a quadrilateral What is it’s truth value? FALSE

A. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for the conjunction p and q. Then find its truth value. p : One foot is 14 inches. q : September has 30 days. r : A plane is defined by three non-collinear points. Answer: p and q: One foot is 14 inches, and September has 30 days. Although q is true, p is false. So, the conjunction of p and q is false.

LOGIC A.A square has five sides and a turtle is not a bird; true. B.A square does not have five sides and a turtle is not a bird; true. C.A square does not have five sides and a turtle is a bird; false. D.A turtle is not a bird and June is the sixth month of the year; true. B. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for ~ q ~ r. Then find its truth value. p : June is the sixth month of the year. q : A square has five sides. r : A turtle is a bird.

LOGIC A.A cow does not have 12 legs or a triangle does not have 3 sides; true. B.A cow has 12 legs or a triangle has 3 sides; true. C.6 is an even number or a triangle has 3 sides; true. D.A cow does not have 12 legs and a triangle does not have 3 sides; false. B. Use the following statements to write a compound statement for ~ q ~ r. Then find its truth value. p : 6 is an even number. q : A cow has 12 legs. r : A triangle has 3 sides.

15
LOGIC B. Construct a truth table for p ( ~q r). Step 1Make columns with the headings p, q, r, ~q, ~q r, and p (~q r).
16
LOGIC B. Construct a truth table for p ( ~q r). Step 2List the possible combinations of truth values for p, q, and r.
17
LOGIC B. Construct a truth table for p ( ~q r). Step 3Use the truth values of q to determine the truth values of ~q.
18
LOGIC B. Construct a truth table for p ( ~q r). Step 4Use the truth values for q and r to write the truth values for ~q r.
19
LOGIC Step 5Use the truth values for ~q r and p to write the truth values for p (~q r). Answer: B. Construct a truth table for p ( ~q r).

LOGIC DANCING The Venn diagram shows the number of students enrolled in Monique’s Dance School for tap, jazz, and ballet classes. A. How many students are enrolled in all three classes? The students that are enrolled in all three classes are represented by the intersection of all three sets. Answer: There are 9 students enrolled in all three classes.

LOGIC DANCING The Venn diagram shows the number of students enrolled in Monique’s Dance School for tap, jazz, and ballet classes. B. How many students are enrolled in tap or ballet? The students that are enrolled in tap or ballet are represented by the union of these two sets. Answer: There are 28 + 13 + 9 + 17 + 25 + 29 or 121 students enrolled in tap or ballet.

LOGIC DANCING The Venn diagram shows the number of students enrolled in Monique’s Dance School for tap, jazz, and ballet classes. C. How many students are enrolled in jazz and ballet, but not tap? The students that are enrolled in jazz and ballet and not tap are represented by the intersection of jazz and ballet minus any students enrolled in tap. Answer: There are 25 + 9 – 9 or 25 students enrolled in jazz and ballet and not tap.
