State the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of the following implication expression as English sentences. Ensure that you list the symbols you will use for each ATOMIC predicate. You must also simplify your expressions and distribute your negation operations as much as possible before translating.
Given statement: If it is entertaining then it is not impossible and it is not difficult
So I get how to do the inverse, converse, and contrapositive, but I don't really know what my practice worksheet means by "simplify your expressions and distribute your negation operations as much as possible before translating."
Like if I were to find the contrapositive I would do:
Let e be the predicate "if it is entertaining", i be "it is not impossible" and d be "it is not difficult"
$e → (i\lor d) $
$¬(i \lor d) → ¬e $
$(¬i \land ¬d) → ¬e $
Translation: If it is impossible and difficult then it is not entertaining.
but I don't know if that meets the requirements for "simplifying the expression and distribute the negation operations as much as possible before translating."
Your approach is quite okay, however, your translation is not.
Also I'd use $i$ and $d$ for "it is impossible" and "it is difficult", and use $\lnot$ to handle the "not" part.
This statement is: $~e\to(\lnot i~\land~\lnot d)$
