- Homework Statement
- Let P stand for "I'll buy the pants.
Let S stand for "I'll buy the shirt.
What english sentence is represented by the formula
~(P ^ ~S)
- Relevant Equations
- ~(P ^ ~S)
Given that the negation is distributed across parenthesis, P become ~p and S gets double negation ~~S. Hence my solution was " I will not buy the pants but I will buy the shirt. (or and I will buy the shirt, since but can be used in the place of and).
This is from How to prove things by Velleman 3rd edition, chapter 1, section 1.1. However, at the back the solution said I will not buy the pants without buying the shirt. That left me confused.
Look forward to the input.
