I have a question for a deductive reasoning proof i made for the following question: (i needed to prove that these three premises can come to the conclusion of : ~R <--> ~T Im new to this so im not completely sure that this is correct.
Premises 1-3
- R--> (S-->T)
- S
- ~T
End of Premises --------
- Sub proof Assumption S
- Sub proof T
- (end of sub proof) S-->T . -->Intro, 4-5
- R . --> Elim 1,6
- T -->Elim 2,6
- Sub proof Assumption R
- Sub proof T
- Sub proof ~T
- Sub proof ⊥
- (end of sub proof) ~R . ~Intro, 9-11
- Sub proof ~R
- Sub proof ~T
- New Sub proof ~T
- New sub proof ~R
- ~R <--> ~T <--> Intro 13-14, 15-16
We have to derive $\lnot R \to \lnot T$ and vice-versa; then conclude with $\leftrightarrow$-intro.
The first part is straightforward, From 3rd premise : $\lnot T$, using $\to$-intro we get immediately:
For the second part :
5) $R$ --- temporary assumed for a sub-proof
6) $T$ --- from 5) and 2nd premise from 1st one
7) $\bot$ --- contradicition of 6) with 3rd premise
8) $\lnot R$ --- from 5) and 8) by $\lnot$-intro, discharging temporary assumption.
