DISCRETE MATH PROBLEM: Simplify ~(r ∨ s) ∨ (~s ∧ r). Indicate, at each step, which logical equivalence law is used.       EXAMPLE BELOW: Simplify p∧ ∼ (p∧ ∼ q). Indicate, at each step, which logical equivalence law is used. The expression can be simplified as follows: 1. p∧ ∼ (p∧ ∼ q), Given Expression 2. p ∧ (∼ p∨ ∼ (∼ q), De Morgan’s Law 3. p ∧ (∼ p ∨ q), Double Negation Now, use the distributive law to simplify further: 1. (p∧ ∼ p) ∨ (p ∧ q), Distributive Law 2. c ∨ (p ∧ q), Negation Law 3. (p ∧ q), Identity Law Therefore, (p ∧ q) is the simplified expression.

DISCRETE MATH PROBLEM:

Simplify ~(r ∨ s) ∨ (~s ∧ r). Indicate, at each step, which logical equivalence law is used.

 

 

 

EXAMPLE BELOW:
Simplify p∧ ∼ (p∧ ∼ q). Indicate, at each step, which logical equivalence law is used.
The expression can be simplified as follows:
1. p∧ ∼ (p∧ ∼ q), Given Expression
2. p ∧ (∼ p∨ ∼ (∼ q), De Morgan’s Law
3. p ∧ (∼ p ∨ q), Double Negation
Now, use the distributive law to simplify further:
1. (p∧ ∼ p) ∨ (p ∧ q), Distributive Law
2. c ∨ (p ∧ q), Negation Law
3. (p ∧ q), Identity Law Therefore, (p ∧ q) is the simplified expression.
