I'm stuck with these problems...
1.Show that B∧C,(B↔C)→H∨G tautologically implies(⇒) G∨H ?
2.Use Rule Conditional Proof (C.P) show that P→(Q→R) , Q→(R→S) tautologically implies(⇒) P→(Q→S)
3.Using Proof by Contradiction, show that P→¬S is valid. (P→ (Q∧R))∧ (Q→¬P) ∧ (S→¬R) ∧P
My attempt to answer the first question .
i) B∧C Rule P
ii)B Rule T (i) Simplification
iii)C Rule T (i)
after this i should arrive at (B↔C) . How should i do this ?
My attempt to answer the second question .
i)P Rule P(Assumed)
ii) P→(Q→R) Rule P
iii) Q→R Rule T (i)(ii) Modus Ponens
i should get Q from this . How should i do this ?
note: Can we assume One more premise Q, to get the answer is it possible .
My attempt to answer the third question .
Given Premises : (P→(Q∧R)),(Q→¬P),(S→¬R)∧P
Required Conclusion : P→¬S
i)¬(P→¬S) Rule P ( Assumed)
ii)
What should i do next ?
Can anyone explain me how to do these problems . I don't know the exact symbol used for tautological implication .
I assume that you are using natural deduction:
(1) Prove that $B\land C,(B \leftrightarrow C) \to (H \lor G) \vdash G \lor H$
(2) Prove that $P\to (Q \to R) , Q \to (R \to S) \vdash P \to (Q \to S)$
(3) Prove that $P \to (Q\land R),Q\to \neg P,(S\to \neg R) \land P \vdash P→¬S$
Let's look at our premises once again, is there any way we can get a contradiction, say, $R \wedge \neg R$?
