Please help me with this. Complete the following be

Prove the given expression is a tautology by developing a series of logical equivalence to demonstrate that it is logically
equivalent to T.
[p^ (p→q)] →q
(p vq) 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
