Question
Examine whether each of the following statement patterns is a tautology or a contradiction or a contingency.
[~(~p ∧ ~q)] v q
Advertisements
Solution
Consider the statement pattern: ∼ (∼ p ∧ ∼ q) ∨ q
Thus the truth table of the given logical statement: ~(~p ∧ ~q) ∨ q
| p | q | ~p | ~q | ~p∧~q | ~(~p ∧ ~q) | ~(~p ∧ ~q) ∨ q |
| T | T | F | F | F | T | T |
| T | F | F | T | F | T | T |
| F | T | T | F | F | T | T |
| F | F | T | T | T | F | F |
The above statement is contingency.
