    Determining Validity of Argument Using Indirect Truth Table

    The argument is: ~(A^B) / (~A^~B) -> (C^D) / D->C // C I've attached the truth values that I've filled in. I have difficulty in determining the truth values of A and B since I can't get any clue from other statements. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Creating a Truth Table: Step-by-Step Guide

    Homework Statement I'm confused on how to set up the columns of a truth table. Is there a rule for doing this. ex) (P->(~RvQ))^R would you break it into smaller pieces P,Q,R then start inside and work out so next it would be (~RvQ) then (P->(~RvQ) and then (P->(~RvQ))^R Homework...

    Why is A=F and B=T in the Truth Table for Implication?

    The truth table for A\Rightarrow B Means If A then B else Not B? But the truth table is supposedly looking like this: \begin{array}{ccc} A & B & A\Rightarrow B \\ T & T & T \\ T & F & F \\ F & T & T \\ F & F & T \end{array} Only problem I have is A=F and B=T? Why...

    A confusion about truth table of logical implication

    In logical implication (p implies q), if p is false, then no matter q is true or false, p implies q is true. But I think the negative of "p implies q" is "p implies not q", if so, if p is false, both "p implies q" and its negative are true, which is not possible. So is the negative of "p implies...
