Question

For Exercises 35–48, identify p, q, and r if necessary. Then translate each argument to symbols and use a truth table to decide if the argument is valid or invalid.If it snows, I can go snowboarding.It did not snow.∴ I cannot go snowboarding.

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Step 1 :

In this question, we are meant to translate each argument to symbols and use a truth table to decide if the argument is valid or invalid.

Step 2 :

Let p represents: If it snows

Let q represents: I can go snowboarding

Then

$\begin{gathered} \approx\text{ p represents : It did not show} \\ \approx\text{ q represents : I cannot go snowboarding} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the argument is VALID
