Then determine which rules of logic have been applied and explain whether or not they have been ap- plied correctly. If you don’t do the homework, you won’t pass the final. Curly did not do the homework. Therefore Curly did not pass the final. If you do the homework you will pass the final. If you pass the fi- nal you will pass the course. Larry did the homework. Therefore Larry will pass the course. Curly, Moe and Larry are stooges. Curly did his homework. Therefore a stooge did his homework.arrow_forwardIn the context of Propositional Logic, using letters to denote sentences components, translate the following compound sentences into symbolic notation. In the translation indicate clearly the meaning of each propositional letter: A. Roses are red and violets are blue. B. Whenever violets are blue, roses are red and sugar is sweet. C. Roses are red only if the violets are not blue and the sugar is sour. D. Roses are red and if sugar is sour then violets are not blue or sugar is sweetarrow_forward
- Prove ⊢ (¬A → A) → A in Hilbert deductive system. Note: In addition to the axioms and rule of inference of H, you may use any of the derived rules and/or theorems 3.20-3.30 (as numbered in the textbook). You may not use theorem 3.31, as this is precisely that theorem.book Mordechai Ben-Ari Mathematical Logic for Computer Science Third Edition Prove {¬A} ⊢ (¬B → A) → B in Hilbert deductive system.

- Inference question in discrete mathematics. Use the example solution in the picture to solve this inference question. Given the premises: If the steak is well done, it’s overcooked. If the steak is overcooked, the fire alarm will go off. Either the batteries have been changed or the fire alarm will not go off. The batteries have only been changed if the ladder is in the room. The ladder is not in the room. Conclude that the steak is not well done. These premises don’t make sense in the real world. Why? How can you change the premises so that they make sense in the real world? (They don’t have to end up perfectly correct, but they need to avoid the obvious problems you uncover in part B.)arrow_forwardFor each logical argument, select the truth values for the propositional variables that show the logical argument is invalid. 1) 2) q P→→q ..p/q (¬s Vr) V¬s ..rs p= = Pick r = Pick q= Pick S = Pickarrow_forwardDiscrete Math Construct a truth table for: ∼ (p → q) ∧ p Is the statement ∼ (p ∨ q) ∧ p a tautology, contradiction, or neither?arrow_forward
