Question

Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If he drives fast, he will not crash He drives slow. .He will crash. Let p be the statement "he drives fast," and q be the statement "he will crash." Select the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice Type the terms of your expression in the same order as they appear in the original expression.) The argument is valid. In symbolic form, the argument is The argument is invalid. In symbolic form, the argument is [(p-qA-pl+q A. B.

Explanation / Answer

The general rule of negation is [p -> ~q]-> [q -> ~p]

so., [p -> ~q]-> [q -> ~p] should be the right equation but the equation provided here is

He drives slow i.e. ~p and so he will crash i.e. q and so it is trying to imply ~p -> q which is not the right negation the correct negation will be q -> ~p and that is He crashes therefore He has driven slow.

So the correct ans is thet this argument is invalid and in the symbolic form this argument is

[p -> ~q] -> [~p -> q] which is incorrect and so the correct argument should be [p -> ~q]-> [q -> ~p] i.e.

He crashes therefore He has driven slow.

Hope the above explaination has helped you in understanding the problem Pls upvote the ans if it has really helped you. Good Luck!!
