Let's solve each part of this
Geometry(H) Worksheet: Statements, Logical Connectives, and Truth Tables step by step.
---
Part 1: Write the negation of the statement.
Negation means forming a statement that is logically opposite to the original.
1.
Some people drink milk.
→ "Some" means "at least one."
Negation:
No people drink milk. or
All people do not drink milk.
2.
Some dogs do not have fleas.
→ "Some do not" = "Not all have fleas."
Negation:
All dogs have fleas.
3.
No butterflies bite.
→ "No" = "None" = "All do not."
Negation:
Some butterflies bite. (At least one bites)
4.
Some locks are keyless.
→ "Some are" = "At least one is."
Negation:
No locks are keyless. or
All locks require keys.
5.
All pens use ink.
→ "All" = "Every pen uses ink."
Negation:
Some pens do not use ink.
6.
No rabbits wear glasses.
→ "No" = "None"
Negation:
Some rabbits wear glasses.

Part 2: Write each compound statement in words.
Given:
- $ p $: The coffee is Maxwell House
- $ q $: The coffee is hot
- $ r $: The coffee is strong
Logical connectives:
- $ \vee $: OR
- $ \wedge $: AND
- $ \neg $: NOT
- $ \rightarrow $: IF...THEN
- $ \leftrightarrow $: IF AND ONLY IF
7. $ p \vee q $
→
The coffee is Maxwell House or the coffee is hot.
8. $ \neg q \wedge r $
→
The coffee is not hot and the coffee is strong.
9. $ p \rightarrow \neg r $
→
If the coffee is Maxwell House, then the coffee is not strong.
10. $ q \rightarrow (r \wedge \neg p) $
→
If the coffee is hot, then the coffee is strong and it is not Maxwell House.
11. $ (p \vee \neg q) \wedge \neg r $
→
(The coffee is Maxwell House or the coffee is not hot) and the coffee is not strong.
12. $ \neg p \leftrightarrow (r \wedge \neg q) $
→
The coffee is not Maxwell House if and only if the coffee is strong and not hot.
---
Part 3: Use the statements for p, q, and r to write the statement in symbolic form.
13.
If the coffee is Maxwell House, then it is strong.
→ $ p \rightarrow r $
14.
The coffee is strong and the coffee is hot.
→ $ r \wedge q $
15.
If the coffee is strong then the coffee is hot, or the coffee is not Maxwell House.
→ This is: $ (r \rightarrow q) \vee \neg p $
