Question
Consider the following two assertions. Assume x is a specific but unknown real number.
a. x < 2 or it is false that 1 < x < 3.
b. x≤ 1 or either x < 2 or x≥ 3.
Define statement letters for each of the individual statements (e.g., x < 2 is a statement). Hint: three statement letters will suffice. Using those statement letters, rewrite a and b as two logical expressions. Construct a truth table to show that a and b are logically equivalent.

Express the following sentences in symbolic notation: (i) DATAENDFLAG is off, ERROR equals 0, and SUM is less than 1024. (ii) (iii) (iv) DATAENDFLAG is off but ERROR is not equal to 0. DATAENDFLAG is off; however, ERROR is not 0 or SUM is greater than or equal to 1024. Either DATAENDFLAG is on or it is not the case that both ERROR equals 0 and SUM is less than 1024.
