  • @tasfiaalam84647

    Hi, I am confused about when we can use addition (as in example 2 for step 8). Why do we introduce addition and when do we use it in general?

    • @kaminvdi
      @kaminvdi Před 10 měsíci +1

      (To my knowledge) Anyone who may need this in the future: Addition can be used to make a statement bigger. I saw a great example where it's explained like: Jackie likes pancakes (Premise). Use addition to say Jackie likes pancakes OR dirt. It doesn't matter that Jackie doesn't like dirt, because the Jackie likes pancakes is true.
      He is adding NOT L to NOT S so that we can use modus ponens to prove that "R or F".
      NOT S or NOT L --> R or F (this is from line 6/7)
      NOT S or NOT L (Got this from adding NOT L to the end of line 4, NOT S. Doesn't matter if NOT L is true or not. It's an or statement)
      Therefore, R or F must be true.
      Word example:
      if Jackie doesnt like candy or doesnt like pears, then she likes apples or chips.
      Jackie doesnt like candy or doesnt like pears.
      Therefore, jackie likes apples or chips.

    I didn't understand step 8 where you used 4 and addition, how did you know that you need an addition and why you chose "not S" with "not L"?

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  Před 7 lety +13

      Because I wanted to use Modus Ponens to get to the consequent and finish the proof. The rules never tell us what to do, but they tell us what we can do. We still have to keep in mind where we're trying to go and what we can do to get there when we do these proofs.

    • @johanronkko4494
      @johanronkko4494 Před 7 lety +7

      Mia Q, if you use the conditional law on step 6 instead of the DeMorgans law, then on step 7 use the DeMorgans and Double Negation, you will get the following result: (S AND L) OR (R AND F). Then you can apply the Disjunctive Syllogysm from step 4 and 7 to get (R AND F). From there you use the Addition Law and get R. This is not the approach TrevTutor used but I thought it might be good to see two examples to grasp the addition.

    Can we use Simplification Rule in place or we must have a separate premise to use it? For expample:

    • @TheThiaguw
      @TheThiaguw Před 5 lety +1

      A premise is needed. When you don't have the premises, you use the simplification because you are treating all the lines of the truth table. When we use rules of inference, we are only interested in one line of the truth table, the line which obey the premises.

    what I did was this:
    Modus Tollens like you started
    then I took ~S, and used it to show that (S and L) is wrong
    therefore we have ~(S and L)
    [(~R or ~F) => (S and L)] and ~(S and L)
    therefore ~(~R or ~F)
    therefore R and F
    therefore F
    therefore R

    What would be the process to solve the following:
    1) e V a
    2) e → ¬p
    3) ¬p
    ∴ a

      Oh man, it's been a year. But it would probably have been 4. e (2,3 MP) 5. a (1,4 SIMP) or something similar.
