Basic logic homework 1, 0440949, Andreas van Cranenburgh Exercise 1 (i) We consider all valuations of phi and psi: I(phi) = 0, I(psi) = 0, then the formula is 1 I(phi) = 0, I(psi) = 1, then the formula is 1 I(phi) = 1, I(psi) = 0, then the formula is 1 I(phi) = 1, I(psi) = 1, then the formula is 1 (ii) Counterexample: p=false, q=true, truth table: p q p -> q (p -> q) -> q ((p -> q) -> q) -> p 0 1 0 1 0 (iii) phi = p, psi = p ((p -> p) -> p ) -> p is a tautology Exercise 2 (i) (ii) (iii) Exercise 3 proof by induction base case: Phi_0 = p is logically equivalent to p or a tautology inductive step: Phi_n+1 = Phi_n -> p is a logically equivalent to p or a tautology Phi_n+1 = p -> Phi_n is a logically equivalent to p or a tautology closure: no other sentences can be formed
