You're doing great. You just need to negate everything in the column ~P v ~Q to get the last column ~(~P v ~Q)

Why? This is because ~P is the opposite of P. So if P is true, then ~P is false.

So the F in the ~P v ~Q column (in the first row) becomes a T. The T in the second row becomes an F, etc etc. Let me know if this makes sense or not. Thanks.


P Q ~P ~Q ~P v ~Q ~(~P v ~Q)
T T F F F T
T F F T T F
F T T F T F
F F T T T F



Note: The table above is your original table with new stuff in blue
