Review • Find a counter example for the conjectureGiven: JK = KL = LM = MJConjecture: JKLM forms a square
Logic Geometry Unit 9, Day 2 Ms. Reed
Objective • To determine the truth values of conjunctions and disjunctions
Definition • Statement – a sentence that is either true or false. • Example: There are 30 desks in the room.
Definition • Truth value – the truth or falsity of a statement • Example: Statement Truth Value • Albany is the capital of NY. True • California is on the East Coast False
Statements • Statements are often represented by letters, usually p and q • Albany is the capital of NY would be represented by p.
Definition • Negation – a statement with the opposite meaning and the opposite truth value. • Statement: Albany is the capital of NY. • Negation: Albany is not the capital of NY.
Notation • If a statement is represented by p, then not p is the negation of the statement • Not p is written ~p
Example: • Statement: This room is on the second floor. (p) • Negation: This room is not on the second floor. (~p)
Definition • Compound Statement – the joining of two or more statements. • We would use two letters, usually p and q, to represent each statement.
Definition • Conjunctions – a compound statement formed by joining two or more statements with and • p and q is represented by p ^ q
Example • Example:p: Albany is a city in NYq: Albany is the capital of NY • p and q: Albany is a city in NY and Albany is the capital of NY.
Definition • Disjunction – a compound statement formed by joining two or more statements with or
Example • p: The marking period ends on a Fridayq: The marking period ends 1/29/10 • p or q: The marking period ends on a Friday, or the marking period ends 1/29/10 • p or q is represented by p v q
Example • Givenp: math is funq: geometry is hard • Write: 1. p^q, 2. ~qvp, and 3. ~pv~q • 1. Math is fun and geometry is hard. • 2. Geometry is not hard or math is fun. • 3. Math is not fun or geometry is not hard.
