Suppose you want to prove a theorem of the form p → (q ∨ r). Prove that this is equivalent to showing that (p ∧ ¬q) → r.

You "distributed" the negation inside the parenthesis. Let's focus on the \lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) part.

We can distribute the negation inside the parenthesis by negating every term, and switching and with or, and vice versa. So, you have

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \equiv (\lnot p) (\lnot \wedge) (\lnot \lnot q)

Of course, writing \lnot \wedge is improper, I was just stressing the fact that we distributed the negation to every term in the parenthesis. So, since a double negation cancels out, you're left with

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \equiv \lnot p \lor q

which of course implies that

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \lor q \equiv (\lnot p \lor q) \lor q

Edit: I actually derived the expression in the opposite order, but since they are equivalent, it doesn't really matters where you start from and where you get to. Anyway, if you actually want to derive \lnot (p \wedge \lnot q) \lor r from (\lnot p \lor q), you simply have to negate the first parenthesis and distribute the negation as discussed.

Tresset [83]

Debit cards allow you to spend money by drawing on funds you have deposited at the bank. Credit cards allow you to borrow money from the card issuer up to a certain limit to purchase items or withdraw cash. You probably have at least one credit card and one debit card in your wallet.

Julie tips the ball over the net in a volleyball game. The graph shows the quadratic function that represents the height of the
Andrew [12]

We are given a graph for the height of the ball with respect to horizontal distnace x of the ball from Julie.

From the graph, we can see the position of Julie is at (0,0). And starting height of the ball when thrown is 6 feet.

Then it moved to the maximum height of 14 feet. And hit to the ground when it has position on x-axis is 3.5 feet.

<em>Because we can see the parabola is crossing x-axis at 3.5 on the right.</em>

<em>That represents distance of the ball from Julie when it hit to the ground.</em>

<h3>Therefore, it has a horizontal distance of 3.5 feet from Julie.</h3>
