Then from (2), you get ~C v ~D by Disjunctive Syllogism. Then you can write ~(C & D) from the previous statement using De Morgan. From this and (3) you get ~R by Modus Ponens. But that leads to R & ~R which is identically false. Hence the assumption, ~S, is false, therefore S.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One question per post in accordance with the posting instructions, please.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " |
