1. Use a truth table to explore the equivalence of the following two statements: \((p \land q) \rightarrow r\) and \((p \rightarrow r) \land (q \rightarrow r)\). Write a sentence explaining why they are or are not logically equivalent.

2. Write **negations** of the following statements:
   
   a. Tom is healthy but not wealthy.
   
   b. Juan is a computer science major, or he is not required to take Math 2110.

Expert Solution
Step 1

1.

Let, T represents true

       F represents false.

 

p q r pq pr qr (pq)r (pr)  (qr)
T T T T T T T T
T T F T F F F F
T F T F T T T T
T F F F F T T F
F T T F T T T T
F T F F T F T F
F F T F T T T T
F F F F T T T T

 

Since, the last two columns are not same 

(pq)r      and    (pr)  (qr)    are not logically equivalent.
