What must the truth values of 𝑝𝑝 and 𝑞𝑞 be in order to make the sentence 𝑝→¬𝑞𝑝→¬𝑞 false?
Question
What must the truth values of pp
and qq
be in order to make the sentence p → ¬q
false?
Solution
To determine the truth values of and that make the sentence false, we will analyze the implications based on logical truth tables.
1. ### Break Down the Problem
We need to identify when the implication is false. Recall that an implication is only false when is true and is false.
2. ### Relevant Concepts
The implication can be expressed in terms of its components:
- is the antecedent (the "if" part).
- is the consequent (the "then" part).
The truth table for the implication is as follows:
T | T | F | F |
T | F | T | T |
F | T | F | T |
F | F | T | T |
3. ### Analysis and Detail
From the truth table:
- The implication is false only in the first case where:
- (true)
- (true)
Thus, would be false.
4. ### Verify and Summarize
The only combination of truth values for and that makes false is:
- is true
- is true
Final Answer
The truth values must be and to make the statement false.
