# 1.3.3 Logical Equivalence
|
||||
|
||||
You might have noticed in Example 1.3.2 that the final column in the truth table
|
||||
for $\neg P \vee Q$ is identical to the final column in the truth table for
|
||||
$P \to Q$:
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ | $\neg P \vee Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- | --------------- |
|
||||
| T | T | T | T |
|
||||
| T | F | F | F |
|
||||
| F | T | T | T |
|
||||
| F | F | T | T |
|
||||
|
||||
This says that no matter what $P$ and $Q$ are, the statements $\neg P \vee Q$
|
||||
and $P \to Q$ are either both true or both false. We therefore say these
|
||||
statements are **logically equivalent**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition 1.3.4 Logical Equivalence
|
||||
|
||||
Two (molecular) statements $P$ and $Q$ are **logically equivalent** provided $P$
|
||||
is true precisely when $Q$ is true. That is, $P$ and $Q$ have the same truth
|
||||
value under any assignment of truth values to their atomic parts. We write this
|
||||
as $P \equiv Q$.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
To verify that two statements are logically equivalent, you can make a truth
|
||||
table for each and check whether the columns for the two statements are
|
||||
identical.
|
||||
|
||||
In Section 1.2 we claimed that whenever an implication is true, so is its
|
||||
contrapositive. We can now make this claim as the following theorem.
|
||||
|
||||
## Theorem 1.3.5
|
||||
|
||||
_An implication is logically equivalent to its contrapositive. That is,_
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q \equiv \neg Q \to \neg P $$
|
||||
|
||||
**Proof**
|
||||
|
||||
We simply examine the truth tables.
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- |
|
||||
| T | T | T |
|
||||
| T | F | F |
|
||||
| F | T | T |
|
||||
| F | F | T |
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $\neg Q$ | $\neg P$ | $\neg Q \to \neg P$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | -------- | -------- | ------------------- |
|
||||
| T | T | F | F | T |
|
||||
| T | F | T | F | F |
|
||||
| F | T | F | T | T |
|
||||
| F | F | T | T | T |
|
||||
|
||||
(Note that we have the truth value combinations in the same order in both
|
||||
tables, so we can easily see that the final columns are identical)
|
||||
|
||||
(Note that we have the truth value combinations in the same order in both
|
||||
tables, so we can easily see that the final columns are identical)
|
||||
|
||||
Recognizing two statements as logically equivalent can be quite helpful.
|
||||
Rephrasing a mathematical statement can often lend insight into what it is
|
||||
saying, or how to prove or refute it. By using truth tables we can
|
||||
systematically verify that two statements are indeed logically equivalent.

# Investigate!
|
||||
|
||||
Holmes always wears one of the two vests he owns: one tweed and one mint green.
|
||||
He always wears either the green vest or red shoes. Whenever he wears a purple
|
||||
shirt and the green vest, he chooses to not wear a bow tie. He never wears the
|
||||
green vest unless he is also wearing either a purple shirt or red shoes.
|
||||
Whenever he wears red shoes, he also wears a purple shirt. Today, Holmes wore a
|
||||
bow tie. What else did he wear?
|
||||
|
||||
## Try it 1.3.1
|
||||
|
||||
Spend a few minutes thinking about the _Investigate!_ question above. Of the six
|
||||
statements in the puzzle, only one is atomic. Use this atomic statement and one
|
||||
other statement to deduce a new statement about what Holmes might (or might not)
|
||||
be wearing. Explain why you think your new statement is true.
|
||||
|
||||
**Hint**
|
||||
|
||||
The atomic statement is, "Holmes wore a bow tie." Only one of the molecular
|
||||
statement has this as one of its atoms.
|
||||
|
||||
A:
|
||||
|
||||
Let $B$ be "Holmes wears a bow tie." Also, let' $P$ be "Holmes wears a purple
|
||||
shirt" and $G$ be "Holmes wears a green vest".
|
||||
|
||||
Based off the molecular statement:
|
||||
|
||||
"Whenever he wears a purple shirt and the green vest, he chooses not to wear a
|
||||
bow tie."
|
||||
|
||||
We can write this as:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ (P \wedge G) \to \neg B $$
|
||||
|
||||
But we know that $B$ is true from the problem statement, which means that Holmes
|
||||
is not wearing a purple shirt and the green vest:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg (P \wedge G) $$
|
||||
|
||||
Let's now write out the other statements. Let $R$ be "Holmes wears the red
|
||||
shoes." We know from the problem statement that "He always wears either the
|
||||
green vest or red shoes." This is written as:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ G \vee R $$
|
||||
|
||||
Let $T$ be "Holmes wears the tweed vest." We know from the problem statement
|
||||
that "Holmes always wears one of the two vests he owns: one tweed and one mint
|
||||
green." This is written as:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ T \vee G $$
|
||||
|
||||
"He never wears the green vest unless he is also wearing either a purple shirt
|
||||
or red shoes.":
|
||||
|
||||
$$ G \to (P \vee R) $$
|
||||
|
||||
"Whenever he wears red shoes, he also wears a purple shirt."
|
||||
|
||||
$$ R \to P $$
|
||||
|
||||
This gives us everything we need, let's investigate what we know, and track back
|
||||
through the problem to find out what Holmes is wearing.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ B \to \neg (P \wedge G) $$
|
||||
|
||||
While Holmes could be wearing either the purple shirt or the green vest, he
|
||||
cannot wear them together. Let's assume he's wearing the green vest:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ G \to (P \vee R) $$
|
||||
|
||||
So he can't wear the purple shirt, but he can wear the red shoes.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ R \to P $$
|
||||
|
||||
Ah, that doesn't work, whenever Holmes wears the red shoes he also wears a
|
||||
purple shirt. Therefore Holmes cannot be wearing the green vest.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg G $$
|
||||
|
||||
So, now we consider "He always wears either the green vest or red shoes."
|
||||
|
||||
$$ G \vee R $$
|
||||
|
||||
Since we know that Holmes isn't wearing the green vest, therefore he must be
|
||||
wearing the red shoes:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ R $$
|
||||
|
||||
And if he's wearing the red shoes, he is also wearing a purple shirt:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ R \to P $$
|
||||
|
||||
We also know that Holmes always either wears one of the two vests, the tweed or
|
||||
the mint green.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ T \vee G $$
|
||||
|
||||
Since we know he's not wearing the green vest, he must be wearing the tweed
|
||||
vest.
|
||||
|
||||
So Holmes is wearing a tweed vest, a bow tie, a purple shirt, and red shoes.

# Preview Activity
|
||||
|
||||
1.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Consider the statement, "Whenever Holmes wears a purple shirt and the green
|
||||
vest, he chooses to not wear a bow tie." Let $P$ be the statement, "Holmes wears
|
||||
a purple shirt," $G$ be the statement, "Holmes wears the green vest," and $B$ be
|
||||
the statement, "Holmes wears a bow tie." Which of the following is the best
|
||||
translation of the statement into propositional logic?
|
||||
|
||||
A. $(P \wedge G) \to \neg B$
|
||||
|
||||
B. $P \wedge G \to B$
|
||||
|
||||
C. $(P \vee G) \to \neg B$
|
||||
|
||||
D. $P \vee (G \to B)$
|
||||
|
||||
A:
|
||||
|
||||
A. $(P \wedge G) \to \neg B$
|
||||
|
||||
This is the answer. $\wedge$ stands in for "and", and the given statement
|
||||
declares that whenever Holmes wears a purple shirt, $P$ and the green vest, $G$
|
||||
($P \wedge G$), then he chooses to not wear a bow to $\to \neg B$.
|
||||
|
||||
B. $P \wedge G \to B$
|
||||
|
||||
This does not translate properly, what this implies is that "Whenever Holmes
|
||||
wears a purple shirt and the green vest, he chooses to wear a bow tie." But the
|
||||
problem statement explicitly declares that Holmes does _not_ wear a bow tie if
|
||||
he is wearing a purple shirt and the green vest.
|
||||
|
||||
C. $(P \vee G) \to \neg B$
|
||||
|
||||
This also does not translate properly, this would be "Whenever Holmes wears a
|
||||
purple shirt or the green vest, he chooses to not wear a bow tie."
|
||||
|
||||
D. $P \vee (G \to B)$
|
||||
|
||||
This one's a bit more difficult to translate, but also is not the best
|
||||
translation. This essentially says "Either Holmes wears a purple shirt, or if
|
||||
Holmes wears a green vest, he wears a bow tie."
|
||||
|
||||
2.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Consider the statement, "Holmes never wears the green vest unless he is also
|
||||
wearing either a purple shirt or red shoes." With $P$ and $G$ as in the previous
|
||||
question, and $R$ being the statement, "Holmes wears red shoes," which of the
|
||||
following is the best translation of the statement into propositional logic?
|
||||
|
||||
A. $G \to (P \vee R)$
|
||||
|
||||
B. $\neg G \to (P \vee R)$
|
||||
|
||||
C. $(P \vee R) \to G$
|
||||
|
||||
D. $(P \vee R) \to \neg G$
|
||||
|
||||
A:
|
||||
|
||||
A. $G \to (P \vee R)$
|
||||
|
||||
This is equivalent to the given statement. This is saying "If Holmes is wearing
|
||||
the green vest, then he is either wearing a purple shirt or red shoes."
|
||||
|
||||
B. $\neg G \to (P \vee R)$
|
||||
|
||||
This is not the best translation, although the $\neg G$ makes it appear so. What
|
||||
this is saying is "Whenever Holmes is not wearing the green vest, then he is
|
||||
either wearing a purple shirt or red shoes."
|
||||
|
||||
C. $(P \vee R) \to G$
|
||||
|
||||
This appears to be the same as part A, but if we state this out carefully, this
|
||||
says "If Holmes wears either the purple shirt or the red shoes, then he is
|
||||
wearing the green vest." That is not the same as the given statement.
|
||||
|
||||
D. $(P \vee R) \to \neg G$
|
||||
|
||||
This is the same as part C, but it implies the opposite. "If Holmes is wearing
|
||||
either the purple shirt or the red shoes, then he is not wearing the green
|
||||
vest." Which is also not the same as the given statement.
|
||||
|
||||
3.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Consider the statement, "If you major in math, then you will get a
|
||||
high-paying job," and the statement, "Either you don't major in math, or you
|
||||
will get a high-paying job." In which of the following cases are _both_
|
||||
statements true?
|
||||
|
||||
A. You major in math and get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
B. You major in math and don't get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
C. You don't major in math and do get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
D. You don't major in math and don't get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
A :
|
||||
|
||||
Let $P$ be "You major in math" and $Q$ be "You get a high-paying job."
|
||||
|
||||
The first given statement then is:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q $$
|
||||
|
||||
The second statement is:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg P \vee Q $$
|
||||
|
||||
These are logically equivalent if you think about it.
|
||||
|
||||
$P \to Q$ is false if $P$ is true and $Q$ is false.
|
||||
|
||||
$\neg P \vee Q$ is false if $P$ is true and $Q$ is false.
|
||||
|
||||
With this in mind, let's answer each section.
|
||||
|
||||
A. You major in math and get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
$P = \text{ T}$
|
||||
|
||||
$Q = \text{ T}$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q = T \to T = T $$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg P \vee Q = F \vee T = T $$
|
||||
|
||||
This is a case where both statements are true.
|
||||
|
||||
B. You major in math and don't get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
$P = \text{ T}$
|
||||
|
||||
$Q = \text{ F}$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q = T \to F = F $$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg P \vee Q = F \vee F = F $$
|
||||
|
||||
Both are false, so this is not a case where both statements are true..
|
||||
|
||||
C. You don't major in math and do get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
$P = \text{ F}$
|
||||
|
||||
$Q = \text{ T}$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q = F \to T = T $$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg P \vee Q = T \vee T = T $$
|
||||
|
||||
This is a case where both statements are true.
|
||||
|
||||
D. You don't major in math and don't get a high-paying job.
|
||||
|
||||
$P = \text{ F}$
|
||||
|
||||
$Q = \text{ F}$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q = F \to F = T $$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg P \vee Q = T \vee F = T $$
|
||||
|
||||
Both statements are true, this is a case.
|
||||
|
||||
The answer is A, C, and D.
