Question

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains instructions and diagrams for constructing truth tables to determine logical equivalence.
**Instructions:**
- Construct a truth table for the given statement.
- Read the statement carefully.
- Use a truth table to determine whether the two statements are equivalent.
**Exercises:**
1. **Exercise 11:**
Construct a truth table for the statement \( (q \rightarrow p) \land \neg q \).
**Table (a):**
- Variables: \( p \), \( q \)
- Expressions: \( q \rightarrow p \), \( (q \rightarrow p) \land \neg q \)
Truth table with possible combinations:
- T T T F F T
- T F F F F T
- F T T F T F
- F F T T F T
2. **Exercise 12:**
Determine if \( p \land \neg q \) and \( \neg (p \lor q) \) are equivalent.
**Table (b):**
- Variables: \( p \), \( q \)
- Expressions: \( \neg q \), \( p \land \neg q \), \( \neg (p \lor q) \)
Truth table with possible combinations:
- T T F F F F
- T F T T F F
- F T F F F T
- F F T F F F
These tables are systematically filled out to aid in verifying the logical equivalences of the given statements.
