Visualized Solution (English)
Introduction to the Statement
- Given statement: p→(q→p)
- Objective: Find an equivalent logical expression.
The Conditional Identity
- Recall the identity: A→B≡¬A∨B
Simplifying the Inner Bracket
- Inner part: (q→p)≡¬q∨p
Expanding the Full Expression
- Full expression: p→(¬q∨p)≡¬p∨(¬q∨p)
Applying the Associative Law
- Using Associative Law: (¬p∨p)∨¬q
Identifying the Tautology
- Since ¬p∨p≡T
- Expression becomes T∨¬q≡T
- The statement is a Tautology.
Testing Option 2
- Option 2: p→(p∨q)
- Apply identity: ¬p∨(p∨q)
Verifying the Equivalence
- Rearrange: (¬p∨p)∨q
- Result: T∨q≡T
- Both are tautologies, hence equivalent.
Final Conclusion
- Key Takeaway: Two statements are equivalent if they share the same truth table.
- Both p→(q→p) and p→(p∨q) are Tautologies.
- Final Answer: Option 2
