Truth Tables, Tautologies, and Logical Equivalences
sites.millersville.edu › truth-tablesConstruct a truth table for the formula . First, I list all the alternatives for P and Q. Next, in the third column, I list the values of based on the values of P. I use the truth table for negation: When P is true is false, and when P is false, is true. In the fourth column, I list the values for . Check for yourself that it is only false ("F") if P is true ("T") and Q is false ("F").

Truth Tables
sites.millersville.edu › truth-tablesI construct the truth table for (P → Q)∨ (Q→ P) and show that the formula is always true. P Q P → Q Q→ P (P → Q)∨ (Q→ P) T T T T T T F F T T F T T F T F F T T T The last column contains only T’s. Therefore, the formula is a tautology. Example. Construct a truth table for (P → Q)∧ (Q→ R). P Q R P → Q Q→ R (P → Q)∧ (Q→ R)
CONSTRUCTING TRUTH TABLES
cstl-cla.semo.edu/hhill/PL120/notes/truth tables.htmCONSTRUCTING TRUTH TABLES A truth table is a complete list of all the possible permutations of truth and falsity for a set of simple statements, showing the affect of each permutation on the truth value of a compound having those simple statements as components. Each permutation of truth values constitutes one row of a truth table and the number of rows in a truth table is 2 n where …
