Show the logical equivalence of $p to q to perp$ and $p wedge q to perp$. [on hold]












-1














I'm asked to show the logical equivalence of $p to q to perp$ and $p wedge q to perp$. When I make the truth tables, the two statements seem to come out to two very different outcomes, perhaps I'm interpreting the question wrong and the answer is that they aren't logically equivalent?

First, note that $x to perp = lnot x lor perp = lnot x$. So



$p wedge q to perp = lnot(p land q)$



$(p to q) to perp = lnot(p to q) = lnot(lnot p lor q) = p land lnot q$



$p to (q to perp) = p to lnot q = lnot p lor lnot q = lnot (p land q)$



So, as pointed out in the comments above, it all depends where you put the parentheses when you interpret $p to q to perp$.
