Question
1. Construct the truth table of the compound statement [p + (~p v q)] ^ ~p. Also, determine whether the given compound
statement is a tautology, contradiction or contingency.
2. Determine whether the following compound statements are logically equivalent using truth tables.
(a) (p v ~q) A ~p and ~(p v q)
(b) ~(p → ~q) and ~(~p>q)
3. Simplify the compound statement ~(~p ^ ~q) ^ (~p v q) ^ (p v ~q) ^ (~p v ~q) using the laws of equivalence.
