Short Answer

Let p, q, and r be the propositions p : You get an A on the final exam. q : You do every exercise in this book. r : You get an A in this class. Write these propositions using p, q, and r and logical connectives (including negations).

a)You get an A in this class, but you do not do every exercise in this book.

b) You get an A on the final, you do every exercise in this book, and you get an A in this class.

c) To get an A in this class, it is necessary for you to get an A on the final.

d) You get an A on the final, but you don’t do every exercise in this book; nevertheless, you get an A in this class.

e) Getting an A on the final and doing every exercise in this book is sufficient for getting an A in this class. f ) You will get an A in this class if and only if you either do every exercise in this book or you get an A on the final.

a) r¬q

b) pqr

c) rp

d) p¬qr

e) (pq)r

f) r(pq)

Step by Step Solution

Step1: Definition of proposition

Proposition:
1. It is a declarative statement which can be either true or false. 2. It cannot be both true and false simultaneously

Step 2: Proposition using p, q and r for a)

p: You get an A on the final exam.

q: You do every exercise in this book.

r: You get an A in this class.

You get an A in this class, but you do not do every exercise in this book. The above given statement means r¬q.

Step 3:Proposition using p and q for b)

You get an A on the final, you do every exercise in this book, and you get an A in this class.

The given statement means pqr

Step 4: Proposition using p, q and r for c)

To get an A in this class, it is necessary for you to get an A on the final.

The above given statement means rp

Step 5: Proposition using p, q and r  for d)

You get an A on the final, but you don’t do every exercise in this book; never the less, you get an A in this class

The given statement means p¬qr.

Step 6: Proposition using p, q and r for e)

Getting an A on the final and doing every exercise in this book is sufficient for getting an A in this class.

The given statement means (pq)r.

Step 7: Proposition using p, q and r for f)

You will get an A in this class if and only if you either do every exercise in this book or you get an A on the final.

The given statement means r(pq)
