Simply plug in the given truth values and evaluate.

Keep in mind the following rules
1) ~p is the opposite of p. So if p is true, then ~p is false. This applies in the other direction. So if p is false, then ~p is true.

2) p ^ q is only true if BOTH p and q are true. Otherwise, it's false.

3) p <--> q is only true if both truth values of p and q are the same.


So let's use these facts to get:


(~p ^ q) <-> ~r

(~T ^ F) <-> ~T

(F ^ F) <-> F

F <-> F

T


So (~p ^ q) <-> ~r is true.
