Implication and conclusion in propositional calculus

29 Views Asked by At

Let A and B be any propositions expressible in the propositional calculus notation.

Show that A $\vdash$ B is provable by the rules of propositional calculus if and only if it is provable that $\vdash$ (A $\rightarrow$ B).

In proving that if $\vdash$ (A $\rightarrow$ B) is provable, then A $\vdash$ B is provable, I have the following:

1 (1) A $\rightarrow$ B $\:\:\:\:$ A

2 (2) A $\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:$A

1,2 (3) B $\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:$MP 1, 2

$\therefore$ A $\vdash$ B is provable.

Is this correct or am I missing something?
