| Question 260500:  I have to construct a truth table for 2 different problems I am having a horrible time understanding how to do this.
 Problem 1: ~q V p
 Problem 2: (p ^ ~q) "if and only then" q   The mark in the middle of p and ~q is suppose to be upside V, for "and".
 Please show me how to do these 2 problems, I have trying for a couple of hours and I am completely lost.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Problem 1: ~q V p - -> I translate this as not q union "or" p here is the truth table for this:
 p . . . . .q . . . . .~q . . .  . . ~q V p
 T . . . . .T . . . . .F . . . . . . . . . T
 T . . . . .F . . . . .T . . . . . . . .  .T
 F . . . . .T . . . . . F . . . . . . . . .F
 F . . . . .F . . . . .T . . . . . . . . . T
 Problem 2: (p ^ ~q) - - > I translate this as p intersection "and" not q
 here is the truth table for this:
 p . . . . .q . . . . .~q . . .  . . p ^ ~q
 T . . . . .T . . . . .F . . . . . . . . . F
 T . . . . .F . . . . .T . . . . . . . .  .T
 F . . . . .T . . . . . F . . . . . . . . .F
 F . . . . .F . . . . .T . . . . . . . . . F
