Prove using natural deduction: $ {A → B, B → (C \land D), ¬C \vee ¬D} ⊢ ¬A$
Our work (so far):
$1- A → B$
$2- B → (C \land D)$
$3- ¬¬A$
$4- A$
$5- B$ (from 1,4) $→E$
$6- B$
$7- C \land D$ (from 2,6) $→E$
This is where I've been for the past 6 hours. Help me out if you can. Thanks.
Get the contra-positives of 1&2 as $\neg B\rightarrow \neg A$ and $\neg C \,\,V\neg D \rightarrow \neg B$. Use $\neg C \,\,V\neg D \rightarrow \neg B, \,\,\,\, \neg B \rightarrow \neg A$ and the result follows.
