You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have the correct symbolic translation, but normally you spell out EVERYTHING so you are perfectly clear. So the translation of \"(p v q) --> r \" would be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"IF Verizon Wireless must remove installed equipment from a vehicle OR Verizon Wireless must remove installed equipment from a fixed location, THEN you will be charged a service fee\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: the underlined parts were cut and pasted from the given statements (so you can see that the statement is really \"IF p OR q, THEN r\" in symbolic form)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So here's the truth table:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
pqrp v q(p v q) -> r
TTTTT
TTFTF
TFTTT
TFFTF
FTTTT
FTFTF
FFTFT
FFFFT
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: you'll normally see it in this format\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you aren't familiar with that format, then stick with your table. You did a good job with the table, BUT the last truth value in the bottom row should be T\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "           p: T T T T F F F F\r\n" );
document.write( "           q: T T F F T T F F \r\n" );
document.write( "           r: T F T F T F T F\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     (p v q): T T T T T T F F \r\n" );
document.write( "(p v q) -> r: T F T F T F T T \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
