1 Symbolic Logic

2 Objectives Determine if a sentence or question is a statement or not. Write a sentence that represents the negation of a given statement. Rewrite a statement in symbolic form (defining the symbols used). Rewrite a symbolic statement in word form.

3 Vocabulary Statement Compound statement Negation Conjunction Disjunction (inclusive or) Conditional (implication) Hypothesis (premise) Conclusion

4 Statement: Compound statement: a statement is a sentence that is either true or false a statement that contains one or more simpler statement (not, and, or, if... then, only if, if and only if)

5 Determine which of the following are statements. 2. Solve the equation 2x + 5 = 3. 3. x 2 + 1 = 0 has no solution.

6 Negation: Conjunction: Disjunction: Conditional: denial of a statement (symbol: ~) and (symbol: ^ ) Connectives or – inclusive or (symbol: V) if..., then (symbol: → )

7 Write the statement that represents the negation: 1.His car is not new. 2.Some buildings are earthquakeproof. 3.All children eat candy. 4.I never cry in a movie theater.

8 Negation Summary StatementNegation Some p are q.No p are q. All p are q.Some p are not q. No p are q.Some p are q. Some p are not q.All p are q.

9 Using the symbolic representations p: The car costs $40,000. q: The car goes 140 miles per hour. r: The car is red. express the following compound statements in symbolic form. 1.The car is red, goes 140 mph, and does not cost $40,000.

10 Using the symbolic representations p: The car costs $40,000. q: The car goes 140 miles per hour. r: The car is red. express the following compound statements in symbolic form. 2.If the car does not cost $40,000, it does not go 140 mph.

11 Using the symbolic representations p: The car costs $40,000. q: The car goes 140 miles per hour. r: The car is red. express the following compound statements in symbolic form. 3.The car is red and it does not go 140 mps or cost $40,000.

12 Using the symbolic representations p: The car costs $40,000. q: The car goes 140 miles per hour. r: The car is red. express the following compound statements in symbolic form. 4.All red cars go 140 mph.

13 Using the symbolic representations p: I am an environmentalist. q: I recycle my aluminum cans. r: I recycle my newspapers. express the following compound statements in symbolic form.
