a Pv~Q

Write out the symbols

P or not Q

Substitute the propositions:

(Ricky loves Lucy) or not(Lucy loves Ricky)

Put the "not" next to the verb.

Ricky loves Lucy or Lucy does not loves Ricky.

-----------------------------------------
b ~P^~Q

Write out the symbols

Not P and not Q

Not(Ricky loves Lucy) and not(Lucy loves Ricky)

Put the "not"s next to the verbs (we need a helping verb "does")

Rick does not love Lucy and Lucy does not love Ricky.

----------------------------------

c ~(P^Q)

Not (P and Q)

Not (Ricky loves Lucy and Lucy loves Ricky)

Replace "not" by "It is false that"

It is false that (Ricky loves Lucy and Lucy loves Ricky).
