Homework Statement


Find a statement for , S, equibalten to ~(P v Q) and show that it is logically equivalent by construction the truth table for "S if and only if ~(P v Q)" and showing that this statement form is a tautology.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



My statement is

S: It is not Monday or it is not tuesday.

I'm not sure exactly how to set up the truth table. What would be my Column labels for S <-> ~(P v Q). Do in include the S or the <-> in the table.

Note: ~(P v Q) is equivalent to (~P and ~Q). So your sample statement S does not work.
 
right right right

S:It is not monday and it is not munday ... ~(PvQ) <->(~P ^ ~Q) which are equil and because they are equal they will be a tautology.

is it correct to say they are a tautology becasue it will be all truths in the truth table which is because ~(PvQ) and (~P ^ ~Q) have equal truths (F,F,F,T) and then because they are the same (F,F,F,T) they are then all truths for ~(PvQ) <->(~P ^ ~Q) column
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
