a.b.The following is an utterance from the Oracle at Delphi:More than one of the triumvirate will be assassinated.Crassus will be assassinated and either Caesar will not be assassinated or Pompey willbe assassinated, if and only if, Pompey will not be assassinated and either Crassus orCaesar will be assassinated.Assume these constituent propositions:Ca : Caesar will be assassinatedCr: Crasus wil be assassinatedP: Pompey will be assassinatedthe second sentence can be formalized thus:Provide a formalization of the first sentence, "More than one of the triumvirate will beassassinated," using the propositional constituents identified.Construct a truth table to determine who will be assassinated. Be sure to explain how thetruth table helps you answer this question.

1) Create a truth table and check whether the statement is a tautology or contradiction(?∨~?)↔~(~?∧?)
Part 1: Choose two of the proofs below and use one of the indirect proof techniques (reductio ad absurdum or conditional proof) presented in Chapter 8 to demonstrate the validity of the arguments. The proofs below may use any of the rules of inference or replacement rules given in Chapter 8. 1.(G • P) → K, E → Z, ~P → ~ Z, G → (E v L), therefore, (G • ~L) → K 2.(S v T) ↔ ~E, S → (F • ~G), A → W, T → ~W, therefore, (~E • A) → ~G 3.(S v T) v (U v W), therefore, (U v T) v (S v W) 4.~Q → (L → F), Q → ~A, F → B, L, therefore, ~A v B 5.~S → (F → L), F → (L → P), therefore, ~S → (F → P) Part 2: Below are basic arguments in English. Choose two arguments and translate those argument into the symbolism of predicate logic. You do not need to do a proof. Every fetus has an immortal soul. A thing has an immortal soul only if it has a right to life. Hence, every fetus has a right to life. (Fx = x is a fetus, Sx = x has an immortal soul, Rx = x has a right to life). Some wars are just. No war of…
Exercise 1.4.4: Proving whether two logical expressions are equivalent. About Determine whether the following pairs of expressions are logically equivalent. Prove your answer. If the pair is logically equivalent, then use a truth table to prove your answer. (a) ¬(p ∨ ¬q) and ¬p ∧ q (b) ¬(p ∨ ¬q) and ¬p ∧ ¬q (c) p ∧ (p → q) and p → q (d) p ∧ (p → q) and p ∧ q
6. Use a truth table to determine whether the following argument form is valid. Indicate which columns represent the premises and which represent the conclusion, and include a sentence explaining how the truth table supports your answer. Your explanation should show that you understand what is means for a form of argument to be valid or invalid. Argument form: P→ r q→ r ..pvqr
2. Let's consider a compound propositions where A ="Angelo comes to the party", C="Carlo comes to the party", Represent the following statements into a Boolean expression: "If David comes to the party then Bruno and Carlo come too" a) b) c) d) e) B = "Bruno comes to the party", D="David comes to the party". "David comes to the party if and only if Carlo comes and Angelo doesn't come" "If David comes to the party, then, if Carlo doesn't come then Angelo comes" "Carlo comes to the party provided that David doesn't come, but, if David comes, then Bruno doesn't come" "Angelo, Bruno and Carlo come to the party if and only if David doesn't come, but, if neither Angelo nor Bruno come, then David comes only if Carlo comes"
The following premises are given. Choose the order of rules of inference that are listed below to show that q must be true. I. Modus ponens II. Modus tollens II. Hypothetical Syllogism IV. Disjunctive syllogism V. Addition VI. Simplification VII. Conjunction VIII. Resolution -(p or q) –r
A short note (in good English) explaining why (*) p → q is true if p and q have the same truth values and false if p and q have different truth values is the case. Use the fact that p + q means “p → q and q → p together with how the truth values for x → y are determined,.
2. Exhibit a string over the alphabet {a,b} that does not belong to (bUab)*(a Uba)*. Justify your answer. (No formal proof is needed.) Hint: You may want to construct an NFA for this regular expression.
Using predicate logic, prove that the following argument is valid. Provide the translation and the proof sequence. Every computer science student works harder than somebody, and everyone who works harder than any other person gets less sleep than that person. Riley is a computer science student. Therefore, Riley gets less sleep than someone else. Use the symbols, C(x), W(x,y), S(x,y), r.
It's worth thinking about the seeming contradiction between "Swimming is allowed on the New Jersey coast" and "Sharks have been observed along the shore:". Convert each compound proposition into a phrase in standard English.
