(a.)
To Show: The given expression is a tautology, using truth table.
It has been determined that the given expression is a tautology.
Given:
Concept used:
If the truth value of an expression in its truth table is always true, then it is a tautology.
Calculation:
The given expression is
The truth table for the given expression is as follows:
F | F | F | T | F | T | T |
F | F | T | T | F | T | T |
F | T | F | T | F | T | T |
F | T | T | T | F | T | T |
T | F | F | F | F | T | T |
T | F | T | F | T | F | T |
T | T | F | T | F | T | T |
T | T | T | T | T | T | T |
It can be seen that the truth value for the given expression is always true.
Hence, the given expression is a tautology.
Conclusion:
It has been determined that the given expression is a tautology.
