Homework Equations

Not on net. Meaning of dual i don't know and can't find.

I found an explanation at
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/digital_electronics/dual_of_boolean_expression.asp

So A implies B is the same as "B or not A"

Then you take the dual

In layman's terms, Duality principle just says that you replace each and every 'and' with 'or' & vice-versa; every 't (tautology)' with 'c(contradiction)'
So first you express 'p implies q' in an equivalent form of 'ands' and 'ors', same thing again with the whole expression, and then apply the dual.
Keep in mind that you don't touch the negations (if any) in the expression. For further reading, visit Boolean algebra - Wikipedia.

Not sure If I understood correctly. Do we just take the contrapositive of this statement? It is the first time I hear the word dull.
or do you mean 'p implies q' is equivalent to not P ∨ Q ?

No, not contrapositive.
For a second, forget about duals & everything.
Using truth tables, prove that p→q ≡ ~p v q.
Then, just replace 'v' by '∧' without doing anything to the negation and without changing anything else. If, there's any t or c as I mentioned above, you interchange them as well.
