Answer: m ⇒ e ∨ p
Step-by-step explanation:
First look at the statement and locate the connectives ( these are words which connect sentences such as: and, or, implies, is equivalent and not.) Each of these connectives have a symbol/ variable.
- In this case the connectives are "only if" and "or" these are important because we will not attach propositional variables to them, where:
⇒ = " only if"
∨ = "or"
- Convert the phrases into variables where:
m = " You can see the movie"
e = "You are over 18 years old"
p = " you have the permission of a parent"
- Construct the statement sequentially.
You can see the movie (m) only if (⇒) you are over 18 years old (e) or (∨) you have the permission of a parent (p)
- Remove the phrases and you'll have your answer:
m ⇒ e ∨ p
