I need to help on the following proofs
Proof 1
1. B ∧ F 
2. ¬(B ∧ G) 
   ------ 
        ¬G 

3. ~B v ~G          2, DeMorgan
4. B               1, Simplification
5. ~~B             4, Double negation
6. ~G              3,6, Disjunctive syllogism 


Proof 2
 
By truth table:

Go through the first time with small letters t and f
Go through the second time with 1's for T and 0's for F 
Go through the third time with + for T and - for F

Goal - [A → (B → C)] ↔ [(A → B) → (A → C)] 
        T 1  T t T   +   T t T  1  T t T
        T 0  T f F   +   T t T  0  T f F
        T 1  F t T   +   T f F  1  T t T
        T 1  F t F   +   T f F  1  T f F
        F 1  T t T   +   F t T  1  F t T
        F 1  T f F   +   F t T  1  F t F
        F 1  F t T   +   F t F  1  F t T
        F 1  F t F   +   F t T  1  F t F

As we see there are only +'s under the ↔ so the 
equivalence holds

Proof 3
I have never studied how to do proofs like the third one.
What is it called?  I'll google it and learn what it's all
about.

∃x (A(x) ∨ B(x))
∃x A(x) → ∀x (C(x) → B(x))
∃x C(x)
Goal ∃x B(x)
