Question

Assuming the following statement.
p : Stock prices are high.
q : Stocks are rising.
to be true, find the truth value of the following.

Stock prices are high and stocks are rising if and only if stock prices are high.

Answer 1

The symbolic form of the given statement is
(p ∧ q) ↔ p.

∴ (p ∧ q) ↔ p ≡ (T ∧ T) ↔ T

≡ T ↔ T

≡ T

Hence, truth value is T.
