5. (Arguments: Law of Syllogism). The following is the proof of the validity of the argument p→q.q+r+p→T, where p. q.r are propositional variables (propositions), known as the Law of Syllogism. (i) Construct the truth table of the proposition P= ((p →g) ^ (gr)) → (pr) (to repeat yet again, the truth table for P must reflect the process of building P from propositional variables). (6.1) (ii) Use (i) to verify that the proposition P from (i) is a tautology, thereby proving the validity of the argument in (6.1) (if it will turn out that, by your result in (i), P is not a tautology, redo the problem). To present your answers to the problem, include in your document the truth table in (i) and the conclusions you've made in (ii)-about the proposition P being a tautology and about the validity of the argument.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:5. (Arguments: Law of Syllogism). The following is the proof of the validity of the argument
P→q.qr pr,
where p, q, r are propositional variables (propositions), known as the Law of Syllogism.
(i) Construct the truth table of the proposition
P= ((p →q) ^ (gr)) → (pr)
(to repeat yet again, the truth table for P must reflect the process of building P from propositional variables).
(6.1)
(ii) Use (i) to verify that the proposition P from (i) is a tautology, thereby proving the validity of the argument in (6.1) (if it will
turn out that, by your result in (i), P is not a tautology, redo the problem).
To present your answers to the problem, include in your document the truth table in (i) and the conclusions you've made in (ii)-about
the proposition P being a tautology and about the validity of the argument.
