Question

Translate the following statement to a symbolic representation. Doc Brown was not killed by the terrorists Question 8 options: 1) p ∨ q 2) p ∧ q 3) p → q 4) ~p 5) p ↔ q

Answer 1

The statement under consideration is -

"Doc Brown was not killed by the terrorists"

We have the word not in the statement and this indicates a negation and the logical connective symbolizing this is ~

v : or

^ : and

-> : if then

<-> : if and only if

On careful observation, we don' t have any references to if-then or if and only if clauses

So, we are only dealing with one statement here that has a negation

So, the answer will be ~P which is option choice (4)
