You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If p is true, then ~p is false since ~p is the opposite of p. Note: ~p means \"not p\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If q is false, then ~q (not q) is NOT false, so ~q is true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we know that ~p is false and ~q is true. So ~p v ~q is then true because p v q is true if either p or q is true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Finally, (~p v ~q) ^ ~q is true because BOTH ~p v ~q AND ~q are true. Since they are BOTH true, the conjunction is true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So (~p v ~q) ^ ~q is true, which is the final truth value.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: I noticed that you mentioned r, but it doesn't show up in the expression. Is that a typo? \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
