"Proofing the distributive law tautology problem in Chapter 1-p1- sec 3 slide 46. You are expected to construct a truth table made of 8 columns to show the logically equivalencies in this law. (Pick one law out of two )"

i thought P would be T T F F why does she have T T T T F?

Also known as 2^3

#

If you have n statements you need 2^n rows. It doesn’t matter how you order them as long as you get every possible combination

#

But we do not do 4 rows (T T F F) because we have 3 statements, if we had 2 then that would be right

tired escarp
#

ohh okay

#

okay so i picked one to do for the homework

#

is this good so far?

sick sonnet
#

If you are planning to add more rows then it is good so far

#

If ur not you need to account for the fact P may be false

tired escarp
#

im gonna add more rows

#

uhh not sure where to really

#

put afterwards

sick sonnet
#

Your table is missing the possibility of P Q and R being false

#

If you look up examples theres a pattern u can follow

#

So for P you will need F F F F, for Q, T T F F, and for R, T F T F

tired escarp
#

oh okay I see

#

how is P all false?

tired escarp
#

my work says i need 8 columns actually

#

do you have any idea on what the other columns could be @sick sonnet
