The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression `(p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q)`, we need to analyze the logical equivalences involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Symbols**: - `p ↔ q` (p is equivalent to q): This means that both p and q have the same truth value. It is true if both are true or both are false. - `p → q` (p implies q): This means that if p is true, then q must also be true. It is false only when p is true and q is false. 2. **Break Down the Expression**: - The expression `(p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q)` states that the equivalence of p and q is equivalent to the implication of p by q. 3. **Evaluate `p ↔ q`**: - The truth table for `p ↔ q` is as follows: - p = True, q = True → `p ↔ q` = True - p = True, q = False → `p ↔ q` = False - p = False, q = True → `p ↔ q` = False - p = False, q = False → `p ↔ q` = True 4. **Evaluate `p → q`**: - The truth table for `p → q` is: - p = True, q = True → `p → q` = True - p = True, q = False → `p → q` = False - p = False, q = True → `p → q` = True - p = False, q = False → `p → q` = True 5. **Combine the Results**: - Now we need to evaluate `(p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q)` based on the results from the previous steps. - We will create a truth table for the entire expression: - For each combination of p and q, we will check the values of `p ↔ q` and `p → q`, and then determine the value of `(p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q)`. 6. **Truth Table for the Entire Expression**: | p | q | p ↔ q | p → q | (p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q) | |-------|-------|-------|-------|---------------------| | True | True | True | True | True | | True | False | False | False | True | | False | True | False | True | False | | False | False | True | True | True | 7. **Final Result**: - The expression `(p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q)` evaluates to True for the combinations (True, True), (True, False), and (False, False), and False for (False, True). ### Conclusion: The final expression `(p ↔ q) ↔ (p → q)` is not a tautology, as it does not evaluate to True for all possible truth values of p and q.
