Click and drag the steps in the correct order to show that (p V q) A (p Vn) → (9V) is a tautology.
But if q and rare both true, then one of pv qor pvr
is true, because one of p or p is true.
Hence, the conditional statement is true if the
hypothesis is false or the conclusion is true.
The conclusion q v r will be true in every case except
when q and rare both false.
Thus, in this case, the hypothesis (p v q) ^ (p v r) is
true.
Thus, in this case, the hypothesis (p v q) A (p v r) is
false.
But if q and rare both false, then one of p v q or p v r
is false, because one of p or p is false.
The conclusion q v r will be true in every case except
when q and rare both true.

Prove the given expression is a tautology by developing a series of logical equivalence to demonstrate that it is logically
equivalent to T.
[pA (p→q)] →q
DO
r
(pvq) v q by De Morgan's law
pv (qv q) by associative law
(p^q) →q=(pq) v q by logical equivalence
(p^ q) →q by identity law
(p^ q) →q=[-p v (p→q)] v q by logical
equivalence
[pA (p→q)] → q
[p^ (p→q)] →q = [p^ (pv q)] →q by logical
equivalence
T by domination law
pv (qv q) by associative law
[F v (p ^ q)] →q by negation law
[(p v p) ^ (pvq)] v q by distributive law
