Question 1061923: looking for help on why the argument is or is not valid on these two. Can anyone help me out...thanks in advance. Validity of each argument
For the first problem I began with ( p U q) u r
P'U Q
________
R
( p v q ) → r
~ p → q
______________
r
( p → q) →r
~p v q
_______________
r V q
For the first one, Material Implication says that p V q is equivalent to ~p -> q. So you can simply replace one expression with the other and then the conclusion is true by Modus Ponens.
The second one is true for the same reason. p -> q is equivalent to ~p V q, again by Material Implication.
