5
p -> q = ¬ p V q ?
True
6
x^2 = 2 || ∃xeZ (Is there an X in Z), Z = all integers
False
7
How do you know if an argument is valid?
An argument is valid if every premise (statements excluding the final value) is true
8
p -> q
p
--------
Therefore, q
Modus ponens
9
¬q
p -> q
--------
Therefore, ¬p
Modus tollens
10
p -> q
q -> r
--------
Therefore, p -> r
Hypothetical syllogism
11
p v q
¬p
--------
Therefore, q
Disjunctive syllogism
12
p
--------
Therefore, p v q
Addition
13
p ∧ q
--------
Therefore, p
Simplification
14
p
q
--------
Therefore, p ∧ q
Conjunction
15
p v q
¬p v r
--------
Therefore, q v r
Resolution
16
((p → q) ∧ ¬p) → ¬q
Fallacy of denying the hypothesis
17
((p → q) ∧ q) → p
Fallacy of affirming the conclusion
