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 or stocks are not rising iff stocks are rising.

Answer 1

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

∴ (p ∨ ~q) ↔ q ≡ (T ∨ ~T) ↔ T

≡ (T ∨ F) ↔ T

≡ T ↔ T

≡ T

Hence, truth value is T.
