1. Problem Description
The problem requires completing a truth table for the logical expression . We are given columns for , , , , , and . We need to fill in the missing values for each row.
2. Solution Steps
First, let's compute the values for . The conjunction is true only if both and are true.
- Row 1:
- Row 2:
- Row 3:
- Row 4:
- Row 5:
- Row 6:
- Row 7:
- Row 8:
Next, let's compute the values for . The disjunction is true if either or (or both) are true.
- Row 1:
- Row 2:
- Row 3:
- Row 4:
- Row 5:
- Row 6:
- Row 7:
- Row 8:
Now, let's compute the values for . First, we need to find . is the negation of .
- Row 1:
- Row 2:
- Row 3:
- Row 4:
- Row 5:
- Row 6:
- Row 7:
- Row 8:
Now, we can find . The disjunction is true if either or (or both) are true.
- Row 1:
- Row 2:
- Row 3:
- Row 4:
- Row 5:
- Row 6:
- Row 7:
- Row 8:
Finally, we compute the values for . The implication is false only if is true and is false. Otherwise, it is true.
- Row 1:
- Row 2:
- Row 3:
- Row 4:
- Row 5:
- Row 6:
- Row 7:
- Row 8:
3. Final Answer
Here's the completed truth table:
