Write the negation of the following statement.
All the stars are shining if it is night.
SOLUTION
Let q : All stars are shining.
p : It is night.
The given statement in symbolic form is p → q. It’s negation is ~ (p → q) ≡ p ∧ ~ q
∴ The negation of a given statement is ‘It is night and some stars are not shining’.
Write the negation of the following statement.
∀ n ∈ N, n + 1 > 0
SOLUTION
∃ n ∈ N such that n + 1 ≤ 0.
Write the negation of the following statement.
∃ n ∈ N, (n2 + 2) is odd number.
SOLUTION
∀ n ∈ N, (n2 + 2) is not odd number.
Write the negation of the following statement.
Some continuous functions are differentiable.
SOLUTION
All continuous functions are not differentiable.
Using the rules of negation, write the negation of the following:
(p → r) ∧ q
SOLUTION
~ [(p → r) ∧ q] ≡ ~(p → r) ∨ ~q ....[Negation of conjunction]
≡ (p ∧ ~ r) ∨ ~q .....[Negation of implication]
Using the rules of negation, write the negation of the following:
~(p ∨ q) → r
SOLUTION
~[~(p ∨ q) → r] ≡ ~(p ∨ q) ∧ ~r ....[Negation of implication]
≡ (~p ∧ ~q) ∧ ~r .....[Negation of disjunction]
Using the rules of negation, write the negation of the following:
(~p ∧ q) ∧ (~q ∨ ~r)
SOLUTION
~[(~p ∧ q) ∧ (~q ∨ ~r)]
≡ ~(~ p ∧ q) ∨ ~ (~ q ∨ ~r) ...[Negation of conjunction]
≡ [~(~ p) ∨ ~ q] ∨ [~(~q) ∧ ~(~r)] ...[Negation of conjunction and disjunction]
≡ (p ∨ ~q) ∨ (q ∨ r) .....[Negation on negation]
Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following statement.
If it snows, then they do not drive the car.
SOLUTION
Let p : It snows.
q : They do not drive the car.
∴ The given statement is p → q.
Its converse is q → p.
If they do not drive the car then it snows.
Its inverse is ~p → ~q.
If it does not snow then they drive the car.
Its contrapositive is ~q → ~p.
If they drive the car then it does not snow.
Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following statement.
If he studies, then he will go to college.
SOLUTION
Let p : He studies.
q : He will go to college.
∴ The given statement is p → q.
Its converse is q → p.
If he will go to college then he studies.
Its inverse is ~p → ~q.
If he does not study then he will not go to college.
Its contrapositive is ~q → ~p.
If he will not go to college then he does not study.
With proper justification, state the negation of the following.
(p → q) ∨ (p → r)
SOLUTION
~[(p → q) ∨ (p → r)]
≡ ~(p → q) ∧ ~(p → r) ...[Negation of disjunction]
≡ (p ∧ ~ q) ∧ (p ∧ ~r) ....[Negation of implication]
With proper justification, state the negation of the following.
(p ↔ q) ∨ (~q → ~r)
SOLUTION
~[(p ↔ q) ∨ (~q → ~r)]
≡ ~(p ↔ q) ∧ (~q → ~r) ....[Negation of disjunction]
≡ [(p ∧ ~q) ∨ (q ∧ ~p)] ∧ ~(~q → ~r) ....[Negation of double implication]
≡ [(p ∧ ~q) ∨ (q ∧ ~p)] ∧ [~ q ∧ ~(~r)] ....[Negation of implication]
≡ [(p ∧ ~q) ∨ (q ∧ ~p)] ∧ (~ q ∧ r) ....[Negation of negation]
With proper justification, state the negation of the following.
(p → q) ∧ r
SOLUTION
~[(p → q) ∧ r]
≡ ~ (p → q) ∨ ~ r ....[Negation of conjunction]
≡ (p ∧ ~q) ∨ ~ r ....[Negation of implication]
