The correct Answer is:
To convert the statement "To be poor is to be unhappy" into symbolic form using the given statements \( p \) and \( q \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Statements - The statement \( p \) represents "He is rich." - The statement \( q \) represents "He is happy." - The phrase "to be poor" implies the negation of being rich, which can be represented as \( \neg p \). - The phrase "to be unhappy" implies the negation of being happy, which can be represented as \( \neg q \). ### Step 2: Analyze the Given Statement The statement "To be poor is to be unhappy" can be interpreted as: - Being poor (not being rich) is a necessary condition for being unhappy (not being happy). ### Step 3: Write the Symbolic Form From the analysis, we can express the statement as: - If he is poor, then he is unhappy. - In symbolic terms, this can be written as: \[ \neg p \implies \neg q \] This means that if he is not rich (\( \neg p \)), then he is not happy (\( \neg q \)). ### Final Symbolic Representation Thus, the symbolic form of the statement "To be poor is to be unhappy" is: \[ \neg p \implies \neg q \] ---
