Implication

1. p => q = (not p) or q

Solution:
To prove `p=>q=~pvvq`, we have to first prepare the following truth table


`(1)``(2)``(3)=(1)=>(2)``(4)=~(1)``(5)=(4)vv(2)`
`p``q``p=>q``~p``~pvvq`
TTTFT
TFFFF
FTTTT
FFTTT


from this table, we can say that columns (3) and (5) are identical.
`:. p=>q=~pvvq`


2. p => q = (not q) => (not p)

Solution:
To prove `p=>q=~q=>~p`, we have to first prepare the following truth table


`(1)``(2)``(3)=(1)=>(2)``(4)=~(2)``(5)=~(1)``(6)=(4)=>(5)`
`p``q``p=>q``~q``~p``~q=>~p`
TTTFFT
TFFTFF
FTTFTT
FFTTTT


from this table, we can say that columns (3) and (6) are identical.
`:. p=>q=~q=>~p`


3. not(p => q) = p and (not q)

Solution:
To prove `~(p=>q)=p^^~q`, we have to first prepare the following truth table


`(1)``(2)``(3)=(1)=>(2)``(4)=~(3)``(5)=~(2)``(6)=(1)^^(5)`
`p``q``p=>q``~(p=>q)``~q``p^^~q`
TTTFFF
TFFTTT
FTTFFF
FFTFTF


from this table, we can say that columns (4) and (6) are identical.
`:. ~(p=>q)=p^^~q`
