Solution

To determine the truth values of p p and q q that make the sentence p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q false, we will analyze the implications based on logical truth tables.

1. ### Break Down the Problem

We need to identify when the implication p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q is false. Recall that an implication AB A \rightarrow B is only false when A A is true and B B is false.

2. ### Relevant Concepts

The implication p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q can be expressed in terms of its components:

  • p p is the antecedent (the "if" part).
  • ¬q \neg q is the consequent (the "then" part).

The truth table for the implication p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q is as follows:

p p q q ¬q \neg q p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q
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 p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q is false only in the first case where:
    • p=T p = T (true)
    • q=T q = T (true)

Thus, ¬q \neg q would be false.

4. ### Verify and Summarize

The only combination of truth values for p p and q q that makes p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q false is:

  • p p is true
  • q q is true

Final Answer

The truth values must be p=T p = T and q=T q = T to make the statement p¬q p \rightarrow \neg q false.
