Chapter 1.2, Problem 5E

Using the properties in the text together with the absorption properties given in Exercise 4, where needed, establish each of the following logical equivalences.

(a) [ ( p q ) ( ¬ p ) ] [ ( ¬ p ) q ]

(b) [ p ( q r ) ] [ ( p ( ¬ r ) ) ( ¬ q ) ]

(c) [ ¬ ( p q ) ] [ p ( ¬ q ) ]

(d) ¬ [ ( p q ) ( p ( ¬ q ) ) ] [ ( p ( ¬ q ) ) ( ( ¬ p ) q ) ]

(e) [ ( p ( ¬ q ) ) ( ( p ( ¬ q ) ) ( q ( ¬ r ) ) ) ] [ p ( ¬ q ) ]

(f) [ p ( q r ) ] [ p ( ¬ q ) r ]

(g) ¬ ( p q ) [ ( ¬ p ) q ] ¬ p
