Exercise 1.6 | Q 4.4 | Page 16
Prove that the following statement pattern is a contradiction.
(p → q) ∧ (p ∧ ~ q)
p | q | ~q | p→q | p∧~q | (p→q)∧(p∧~q) |
T | T | F | T | F | F |
T | F | T | F | T | F |
F | T | F | T | F | F |
F | F | T | T | F | F |
All the truth values in the last column are F. Hence, it is a contradiction.
