Answer:

a) [tex]p\rightarrow \neg q \wedge \neg r[/tex]

b) [tex]r\vee q \iff \neg p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statements:

[tex]p:[/tex] It is raining

[tex]q:[/tex] Sam is wearing a hat

[tex]r:[/tex] It is winter

To find:

The symbolic forms for the following:

a) If it is raining then Sam is not wearing a hat, and it is not winter.

b) It is winter or Sam is wearing a hat, if and only if it is not raining.

Solution:

a) The statement followed by 'if ' is written on the left hand side and the statement followed by 'then' is written after the symbol [tex]\rightarrow .[/tex]

Not of a statement [tex]s[/tex] is represented as [tex]\neg s[/tex].

And is represented by [tex]\wedge[/tex] symbol.

Therefore, the statement in symbolic form becomes:

[tex]p\rightarrow \neg q \wedge \neg r[/tex]

b) Not of a statement [tex]s[/tex] is represented as [tex]\neg s[/tex].

Or is represented by [tex]\vee[/tex] symbol.

If and only if is represented by the symbol [tex]\iff.[/tex]

Therefore, the statement in the symbolic form becomes:

[tex]r\vee q \iff \neg p[/tex]
