The symbol ⊕ is used to denote exclusive or, so p ⊕ q ≡ (p v q) ^ ~ (p ^ q).

I'll use text forms of the logical symbols because copying/pasting on mobile is annoying.

⊕ = XOR

∨ = OR

∧ = AND

~ = NOT

↔ = IFF (meaning "if and only if")

→ = IMP (short for "implies")

and for logical equivalence I'll use a regular equal sign.

Then

p XOR q = (p OR q) AND NOT (p AND q)

(a) By definition of XOR, we have

p XOR p = (p OR p) AND NOT (p AND p)

= p AND NOT p

and this is tautologically FALSE.

(b) To rewrite XOR, first distribute the NOT over the AND using DeMorgan's law:

NOT (p AND q) = NOT p OR NOT q

Then we can interchange the AND and ORs using their respective distributive properties. That is,

p XOR q = (p OR q) AND (NOT p OR NOT q)

= (p AND (NOT p OR NOT q)) OR (q AND (NOT p OR NOT q))

= ((p AND NOT p) OR (p AND NOT q)) OR ((q AND NOT p) OR (q AND NOT q))

Both (p AND NOT p) and (q AND NOT q) are tautologically FALSE, so the truth value of either OR depends only on the other statements, so we have

p XOR q = (p AND NOT q) OR (q AND NOT p)

Recall the definition of IFF:

p IFF q = (p IMP q) AND (q IMP p)

Also recall that IMP is logically equivalent to

p IMP q = p OR NOT q

Then we have

p IFF q = (p OR NOT q) AND (q OR NOT p)

so that its negation is

NOT (p IFF q) = NOT ((p OR NOT q) AND (q OR NOT p))

= NOT (p OR NOT q) OR NOT (q OR NOT p)

= (NOT p AND q) OR (NOT q AND p)

The statements in bold match, so p XOR q is indeed equivalent to NOT (p IFF q).

Given line AB and point O on that line, any ray that can be drawn with its endpoint at O can be put into a one- to-one correspon
natima [27]

Answer:

Protractor

Step-by-step explanation:

A POSTULATE, LAW OR THEORY SHOULD NEVER BE ALTERED

∴ The protractor postulate states that the measurement of an angle between two rays can be designated as a unique number, and this number would be between 0 and 180 degrees, Hence for every angle A, there corresponds a positive real number less than or equal to 180. This postulate guarantee the use of a protractor to measure angles.

Hence, Given line AB and point O on that line in such a way that any ray that can be drawn with its endpoint at O can be put into a one- to-one correspondence with the real numbers between 0 and 180 is a statement that explains Protractor's Postulate.
