5.Assume a, b, and c are true, and x, y, and z are false. Determine whether each of the
following is true or false: ~ (y --> z)
(10 Điểm)
True
False
6.Put the following statements in symbolic form: (in which j stands for "John is left-
handed" and s stands for "Sally is right-handed"): "John is left-handed, but Sally is
right-handed."
(10 Điểm)
7.Determine the validity of the following argument forms using truth tables: Premise
1: p Premise 2: q Conclusion: p v q
(10 Điểm)
Valid
Invalid
Let’s analyze the argument using truth tables:

1. p represents the first premise.


2. q represents the second premise.
3. The conclusion is p v q (which means “p or q”).

Here’s the truth table:


Bảng

p q pvq

T T T

T F T

F T T

F F F

Since the conclusion is true in all cases where the premises are true, the argument form
is valid.
8.Assume a, b, and c are true, and x, y, and z are false. Determine whether each of the
following is true or false: a & c
(10 Điểm)
True
False
9.Assume a, b, and c are true, and x, y, and z are false. Determine whether each of the
following is true or false: (a & x) v (~b v z)
(10 Điểm)
True
False
10.Determine the validity of the following argument forms using truth tables: Premise
1: ~(p & q) Premise 2: q Conclusion: ~p
(10 Điểm)
Valid
Invalid

1. Premise 1: ~(p & q)


2. Premise 2: q
3. Conclusion: ~p

Here’s the truth table:

The argument is valid because in all cases where the premises are true, the conclusion is also
true.

11.Assume a, b, and c are true, and x, y, and z are false. Determine whether each of
the following is true or false: ~c v ~ y
(10 Điểm)
True
False
1. Expression: ~c v ~y
o Given: a, b, and c are true; x, y, and z are false.
o We have ~c (negation of c) and ~y (negation of y).
o Since both ~c and ~y are true, their disjunction (~c v ~y) is also true.
Therefore, the first expression is True.

12.Assume a, b, and c are true, and x, y, and z are false. Determine whether each of
the following is true or false: (z --> a) v ~ (b v x)
(10 Điểm)
True
False
1. Expression: (z --> a) v ~(b v x)
o Given: a, b, and c are true; x, y, and z are false.
o Let’s break down the expression:
 (z --> a): This is an implication. Since z is false and a is true, the
implication is true.
 ~(b v x): This is the negation of the disjunction (b v x). Since both b and x
are false, their disjunction is false, and its negation is true.
 The overall expression [(z --> a) v ~(b v x)] is true.

Therefore, the second expression is also True.

13.Put the following statements in symbolic form: (in which v stands for "Vegetables
should be cooked" and f stands for "Fruits should be cooked") "It’s not the case that
vegetables should be cooked and fruits should not."
(10 Điểm)
14.Put the following statements in symbolic form: (in which c stands for "The
computer is under warranted" and p stands for "The printer is under warranted") "The
computer is under warranted but the printer is not."
(10 Điểm)
