P: 15 is odd 
Q: 15 is prime

Write each of the following statements as English sentences and determine whether
they are true or false.
(a)  P ∧ Q
ANSWER:
False
15 is odd and 15 is prime.
(b)  P ∨ Q
ANSWER:
True
15 is odd or 15 is prime.
(c)  P ∧ ~Q
ANSWER:
True
15 is odd and 15 is not prime.
(d)  ~P ∨ ~Q
ANSWER:
True
15 is not odd or 15 is not prime.

2. For the statements,


P: 15 is odd
R: 15 ≤ 17

Write each of the following statements in symbolic form using the operators ∧, ∨, and ~.
(a) 15 ≥ 17
~R
(b) 15 is odd or 15 ≥ 17
P V ~R
(c) 15 is even or 15 ≤ 17
~P V R
(d) 15 is odd and 15 ≥ 17
P ∧ ~R

3. For the statements,


P: You are absent.
Q: You have a make-up assignment.
Write each of the following statements as English sentences and determine whether
they are true or false.

(b)  P ∨ Q
ANSWER:
True
You are absent or you have a make-up assignment.
(c)  P ∧ ~Q
ANSWER:
False
You are absent and you don't have a make-up assignment.
(d)  ~P ∨ ~Q
ANSWER:
False
You are not absent or you don’t have make-up assignment.
(e) P → Q
ANSWER:
True
If you are absent, then you have a make-up assignment.

For numbers 4, 5 and 6, write each of the two statements in symbolic form and include a
truth table and a few words of explanation.

4. If you paid full price, you didn’t buy it at Crown Books.


p→ ~q, True because Crown books are low prices and you have never paid full price
again also the truth table asserts that in the first row.

p q
T T T
T F F
F T T
F F T
You didn’t buy it at Crown Books or you paid full price.
~q V p, True according to the truth table indicated in the second row.

p q p q
T T T
T F T
F T T
F F F

5. If 2 is a factor of n and 3 is a factor of n, then 6 is a factor of n.

2 is not a factor of n or 3 is not a factor of n or 6 is a factor of n.

6. If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, then it is a duck.


Either it does not walk like a duck or it does not talk like a duck, or it is a duck.
If it does not walk like a duck and it does not talk like a duck, then it is not a duck.

(Assume that all variables represent fixed quantities or entities, as appropriate.)
(a) If P is a square, then P is a rectangle.
(b) If today is New Year’s Eve, then tomorrow is January.
(c) If the decimal expansion of r is terminating, then r is rational.
(d) If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2.
(e) If x is nonnegative, then x is positive or x is 0.
(f) If Tom is Ann’s father, then Jim is her uncle and Sue is her aunt.
(g) If n Is divisible by 6, then n is divisible by 2 and is divisible by 3.
