I have the following: $$⊢p \land q \to (p\to q)$$
I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out where to begin. I believe that I am supposed to assume p and q and then somehow use the copy rule to construct the equation, however I am not quite sure.
Can someone help me out?
Attempt taken from a comment: "...this is my attempt... first assume p, assume q, copy p, copy q, introduce →, introduce ∧, then introduce → between both... in that order"
To prove $A \to B$ in a natural deduction system you assume $A$ and derive $B$, and then apply Conditional Proof. OK? That's the standard way of proving a conditional.
To prove $(p \land q) \to (p \to q)$ in a natural deduction system, you need to assume $(p \land q)$ as a temporary assumption and aim for $(p \to q)$.
So assume $p \land q$. That gives you immediately $p$ and $q$.
Can you now get to $p \to q$?
Well there's a standard trick for getting from $q$ to $A \to q$ for any $A$ at all. Do you know it? The fine details of how you set it out will depend, however, on your exact system. (Basically, in an application of Conditional Proof, we are usually allowed "vacuous discharge" of premisses that were never in fact used. You may need to check out how this is handled in the system you are working with! It will be, so to speak, in the fine print!)
