General Mathematics

The document discusses functions and operations on functions. It defines a function as a relation where each element in the domain is related to only one value in the range. It also defines the domain as the set of all possible inputs and the range as the set of all possible outputs. The document then provides examples of evaluating functions by substituting values for x, and examples of performing operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on functions.

PROPOSITIONS
The conjunction of the propositions p and q is
denoted by p ∧ q, read as “p and q”. The propositions
A proposition is a declarative sentence that is either
p and q are called conjuncts. The conjunction p ∧ q is
true or false, but not both. Propositions are usually
true only when both conjuncts and are true.
denoted by small letters. If a proposition is true,
then its truth value is true, which is denoted by T;
p q p∧q
otherwise, its truth value is false, which is denoted
T T T
by F.
T F F
A compound proposition is a proposition formed from F T F
a simpler proposition using logical connectors or some F F F
combination of logical connectors.
The disjunction of the propositions p and q is
denoted by p ∨ q, read as “p or q”. The propositions p
and q are called disjuncts. The disjunction p ∨ q is
false only when both conjuncts and are false.

The conditional of the propositions p and q is


denoted by 𝑝 → 𝑞, read as “If p, then q” or “p implies
q”. The proposition p is called the hypothesis, while
the proposition q is called the conclusion. The
conditional 𝑝 → 𝑞 is false only when the hypothesis is
true while the conclusion is false.

The biconditional of the propositions p and q is


denoted by 𝑝 ↔ 𝑞, read as “p if and only if q”. The
propositions p and q are the components of the
biconditional. The biconditional 𝑝 ↔ 𝑞 is false if the
truth values of the components are not similar.

A proposition that is always true is called a


tautology, while a preposition that is always false is
called a contradiction. We denote tautologies by τ
and contradictions by ϕ.

Two propositions p and q are logically equivalent,


denoted by 𝑝 ⇔ 𝑞, if they have the same truth values
for all possible truth values of their simple
components.

Suppose p and q are propositions. From the


conditional proposition 𝑝 → 𝑞, we derive three other
conditional statements, namely:
a. Converse: 𝑞 → 𝑝
b. Contrapositive: (~𝑞) → (~𝑝)
c. Inverse: (~𝑝) → (~𝑞)
