The correct Answer is:
To convert the statement "If he is rich, then he is unhappy" into symbolic form using the given statements \( p \) and \( q \), we will follow these steps: 1. **Identify the Statements**: - Let \( p \) represent "He is rich". - Let \( q \) represent "He is happy". 2. **Analyze the Given Statement**: - The statement is "If he is rich, then he is unhappy". - The phrase "he is unhappy" means that he is not happy, which can be represented as the negation of \( q \), denoted as \( \neg q \). 3. **Construct the Symbolic Form**: - The structure of the statement is an implication, which can be represented in symbolic form as \( p \rightarrow \neg q \). - Here, \( \rightarrow \) denotes "if...then". 4. **Final Symbolic Expression**: - Therefore, the symbolic form of the statement "If he is rich, then he is unhappy" is: \[ p \rightarrow \neg q \]
