The correct Answer is:
To determine the operations represented by \( \wedge \) (cross) and \( o+ \) (plus) in the expression \( (p \wedge q) \, o+ \, (p \, o+ \, q) \) such that it is a tautology, we will analyze the truth values using a truth table. ### Step 1: Define the operations We start by defining the operations: - \( p \wedge q \): This represents the logical AND operation. - \( p \, o+ \, q \): This represents the logical OR operation. ### Step 2: Create a truth table We will create a truth table for \( p \) and \( q \) to evaluate \( (p \wedge q) \, o+ \, (p \, o+ \, q) \). | \( p \) | \( q \) | \( p \wedge q \) | \( p \, o+ \, q \) | \( (p \wedge q) \, o+ \, (p \, o+ \, q) \) | |---------|---------|-------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------------------| | T | T | T | T | T | | T | F | F | T | T | | F | T | F | T | T | | F | F | F | F | F | ### Step 3: Analyze the truth table From the truth table: - The expression \( (p \wedge q) \, o+ \, (p \, o+ \, q) \) is true for all combinations of \( p \) and \( q \) except for \( (F, F) \). - For the expression to be a tautology, it must be true for all possible truth values of \( p \) and \( q \). ### Step 4: Determine the operations To satisfy the condition of being a tautology, we need to analyze the possible operations for \( o+ \): 1. If \( o+ \) is OR (denoted as \( \vee \)), then the expression becomes: \[ (p \wedge q) \vee (p \vee q) \] This will yield true in all cases except when both \( p \) and \( q \) are false (which is not a tautology). 2. If \( o+ \) is implication (denoted as \( \Rightarrow \)), then the expression becomes: \[ (p \wedge q) \Rightarrow (p \vee q) \] This is true in all cases because if \( p \wedge q \) is true, then \( p \vee q \) must also be true. ### Conclusion Thus, for the expression \( (p \wedge q) \, o+ \, (p \, o+ \, q) \) to be a tautology, the operations must be: - \( \wedge \) is AND - \( o+ \) is implication ### Final Answer If \( (p \wedge q) \, o+ \, (p \, o+ \, q) \) is a tautology, then \( o+ \) is implication.
