write the following statement in symbolic form ,3 is a prime number and 4 is a rational number
Answers
Answer:
3 is a prime number - Correct - 1
4 is a rational number - Correct 1
1 and 1 = 1
3 is a prime number and 4 is a rational number - Truth Value is 1
( as both statements are Correct)
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete Question: Write the following statement in symbolic form: 3 is a prime number and 4 is a rational number. Also write the truth value of the given statement.
Answer: The symbolic form of the statement is p∧q and the truth value of the given statement is 'T'.
Explanation:
→ Assume:
p = 3 is a prime number.
q = 4 is a rational number.
→ Hence the symbolic form of the statement: 3 is a prime number and 4 is a rational number would be p∧q.
As we know that 3 is a prime number, therefore the statement 'p' is true. So the truth value of the statement 'p' would be 'T'.
Also, 4 is a rational number, hence the statement 'q' is also true. So the truth value of the statement 'q' would be 'T'.
→ In case of a compound statement joined by the 'AND' connective:
- If all the component statements connected by the 'AND' connective are True, then the entire compound statement is also True.
- If any one of the component statements connected by the 'AND' connective is false, then the entire compound statement is false.
→ Therefore the truth value of the statement: 3 is a prime number and 4 is a rational number is given as:
p∧q ≡ T∧T ≡ T
→ Hence the truth value of the given statement comes out to be equal to 'T'
Therefore the symbolic form of the given statement is p∧q. The truth value of the given statement is T.
