TRUTH TABLES

Truth tables are very important in logic. They are used to keep things organized. Also they are used to figure out equations correctly. Without truth tables people would get confused and wouldn’t know how to keep track of their work. Truth tables help figure out if the problem is true or false. Without truth tables people wouldn’t be able to do logic properly.


Directions: Create truth tables for these 10 equations

q: true
p: false

1.~q -> p
2.p -> q
3.~q -> ~p
4.p ^ q
5.~q v p
6. q ^ ~p
7. (p v q) -> (~q ^ p)
8.p ^~q
9.((~q ^ p) -> (q ^ ~p)
10. p v ~q

To conclude truth tables are used to show how something can be proved. In math it shows how statements can be switched around and still be true. When true statements are negated and/or is switched around the conclusion of the statement may change. The examples that were shown may help you better understand what truth tables are for. These tables may have different types of equations that come out to different conclusions.
