What I Need to Know

This module will guide you go beyond the surface of propositions. To further enhance
your knowledge on logical operators, we will explore their truth values through this
module. To help you do this, you will learn how to prepare a table of values given a
proposition or a combination of propositions. In turn, this will help you in
determining the truth values.

The module is composed of one lesson, namely:

Module 16
Lesson
Truth Values of
1 Propositions
Aside from performing operations on propositions, determining their truth values is
also possible. Given some truth values of its component propositions, the truth value
of a compound proposition may be known. The truth table will systematically guide
you to determine the truth value of a compound proposition.
In the first place, logical operators may be defined by using truth tables. Truth values
of compound propositions will be built on these. To understand the details of this
lesson gradually, read on, dear learner.

What’s In

Complete the following truth tables of logical operators.


1. 2. p q 𝑝 ∧ 𝑞 3. p q 𝑝 ∨ 𝑞
p ~p
T T T T T

F T F T F
F T F T
F F F F

p q 𝑝 → 𝑞 p q 𝑝 ↔ 𝑞
4. T T 5. T T
T F T F
F T F T
F F F F

Take note that the knowledge of truth tables of logical operators is very important
to be successful in this module. As a learner, you should be familiar with the truth
value of each logical connector.

Module 16
Notes to the Teacher
Enable learners to perform each task or activity in this module.
Remind them to review the truth values of logical operators
introduced in the previous lesson.

What’s New

Hey there! Before you continue reading a new lesson, pause for a while. Have a seat.
Take a deep breath. Now, read the poem word for word silently.

TRUTH THAT VALUES MOST


by: Azalea A. Gallano

Life can teach us good and bad,


While others feel the heat before they see the light,
As for some, a word is enough
And they make it a guide.

Even if one keeps the entire law,


But disobeys one commandment
That person shall be charged guilty
And shall be considered unworthy.

Life can best be spent on service


No one can serve two at the same time, however,
You’ll satisfy and be satisfied with an endeavor you’re in,
But the other will surely be forsaken.

While opportunity lies on your doorsteps, study well


Not all have this opportunity to fondle,
Others give up, yet some chase for their dreams
But you, you have no reason to surrender.

5 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS


Module 16
Take time to ponder, however, above all
The main purpose of life is service to the Creator
We fulfill our mission if and only if we serve Him
No more, no less, it is everybody’s calling.

I guess you are done reflecting the message of the poem. Today or later, you will
understand the lines on and in it. For the meantime, can you spot which stanzas
deal with concepts of the logical operators negation, conjunction, disjunction,
conditional and biconditional?

If you analyze the poem, you will identify and understand the differences of these
logical operators. You’ll be able to discover concepts behind each of them.

What is It

Truth Value and Truth Table Defined


Every proposition has two possible truth values. That is, the truth value of a
proposition, be it simple or compound, is either true or false. The TRUTH VALUE,
therefore, refers to the truthfulness of a proposition that may either be true or false.
These can be represented in tabular form. The table that shows the complete possible
truth values of a proposition is called TRUTH TABLE.
A proposition p has the following truth table:

p
T
F

Suppose we are given two propositions p and q. Since there are four possible
combinations of truth values (TT, TF, FT, FF), then their truth table is:

p q
T T
T F
F T
F F

6 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS


Module 16
It follows therefore that if there are three propositions p, q and r for example,
their truth table is:

p q r
T T T
T T F
T F T
T F F
F T T
F T F
F F T
F F F
How many possible combinations of truth values do we have if there are three
propositions? Can you name them? Notice that the number of truth-value
combinations increases geometrically as the number of propositions increase. That
is, there are 21 = 2, 22 = 4, 23 = 8 and 24 = 16 such combinations if there are 1, 2, 3
and 4 propositions, respectively. How many truth value combinations shall we expect
if there are n propositions?

In the earlier module, the truth value of logical operators was introduced, but
in this module, you will learn how to find truth table for the compound proposition.

Example 1
Given the statement “A diabetic either takes conventional drugs, natural
medicine or both”, determine the truth value of
𝑝 ∨ (~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟) in each scenario. Let p: A diabetic
takes conventional drugs. Let q: A diabetic
takes natural medicine. And let r: A diabetic
takes both conventional and natural medicines.
Scenario 1: Patient A only eats leaves of
his insulin plant to control his sugar level.
Scenario 2: Patient B consults his doctor
and buys diligently the prescribed conventional
drugs.
Scenario 3: Patient C supplements
conventional drugs with natural medicine he
reads is effective as well for diabetics.

7 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS


Module 16
Solution:
Scenario 1: Patient A only eats leaves of his insulin plant to control his sugar level.
The negation of q denoted by ~q states that a diabetic does not take natural
medicine which is false in Scenario 1. Its conjunction with proposition r which is also
false is false as we’ve learned. On the other hand, p is false since Patient A takes
natural medicine only. The disjunction of a false proposition and another false
disjunct is false. Its truth table is illustrated as follows:
𝑝 𝑞 𝑟 ~𝑞 ~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟 𝑝 ∨ (~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟)
F T F F F F

Scenario 2: Patient B consults his doctor and buys diligently the prescribed
conventional drugs.
Since ~q is true in this scenario and r is false, then their conjunction is false.
And, since p is true and (~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟) is false as we have said, then their disjunction is
true. Simply put, since the proposition involves disjunction and one disjunct p is
true, without further analysis we may conclude that the disjunction is true. That is
because disjunction can only be false if both disjuncts are false. Its truth table is
illustrated as follows:
𝑝 𝑞 𝑟 ~𝑞 ~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟 𝑝 ∨ (~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟)
T F F T F T

Scenario 3: Patient C supplements conventional drugs with natural medicine he


reads is effective as well for diabetics.
Both ~q and r are true because Patient C is not taking conventional drugs
only, but instead he takes both, conventional and natural. Thus, the conjunction of
these two propositions is true. Then, although p is false, but since one of the
disjuncts is true, then the disjunction 𝑝 ∨ (~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟) is true. Its truth table is
illustrated as follows:
𝑝 𝑞 𝑟 ~𝑞 ~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟 𝑝 ∨ (~𝑞 ∧ 𝑟)
F F T T T T

8 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS


Module 16
Example 2
Let p and q be propositions. Determine the truth value of (𝑝 → 𝑞) → ((~𝑝) ∨
𝑞). Construct its truth table.
Solution:
Since there are two propositions p and q. Thus, the truth table will contain four
rows, the first two columns of which are
p q
T T
T F
F T
F F

Using the truth table for the definition of the conditional, negation and
disjunction statements 𝑝 → 𝑞, ~𝑝 and ~𝑝 ∨ 𝑞 respectively. You need to add three
more columns to indicate the truth values for each statement.

𝑝 → 𝑞 ~𝑝 ~𝑝 ∨ 𝑞
T F T
F F F
T T T
T T T

Lastly, you need to consider the truth value of the proposition


(𝑝 → 𝑞) → (~𝑝 ∨ 𝑞). The truth table of (𝑝 → 𝑞) → ~𝑝 ∨ 𝑞) is as follows:
p q 𝑝 → 𝑞 ~𝑝 ~𝑝 ∨ 𝑞 (𝑝 → 𝑞) → ( ~𝑝 ∨ 𝑞)
T T T F T T
T F F F F T
F T T T T T
F F T T T T

Notice that the proposition (𝑝 → 𝑞) → ((~𝑝) ∨ 𝑞) is always TRUE. Such is


called TAUTOLOGY and is denoted by . It is the opposite of contradiction.

Example 3
Let p and q be propositions. Determine the truth values of (𝑝 ∧ (~ 𝑞)) ∧ (𝑝 ∧ 𝑞).
Construct its truth table.

9 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS


Module 16
Solution:
Since there are two propositions p and q. Thus, the truth table will contain
four rows, the first two columns of which are
p q
T T
T F
F T
F F

Using the truth table for the definition of the negation and conjunction
statements ~𝑞, 𝑝 ∧ (∼ 𝑞) and 𝑝 ∧ 𝑞 respectively. You need to add three more columns
to indicate the truth values for each statement.

~𝑞 𝑝 ∧ ~𝑞 𝑝 ∧ 𝑞
F F T
T T F
F F F
T F F

Lastly, you need to consider the truth value of the proposition


(𝑝 ∧ (~ 𝑞)) ∧ (𝑝 ∧ 𝑞). The truth table of (𝑝 ∧ (~ 𝑞)) ∧ (𝑝 ∧ 𝑞) is as follows:

p q ~𝑞 𝑝 ∧ (∼ 𝑞) 𝑝 ∧ 𝑞 (𝑝 ∧ (~ 𝑞)) ∧ (𝑝 ∧ 𝑞)
T T F F T F
T F T T F F
F T F F F F
F F T F F F

Notice that the proposition (𝑝 ∧ (~ 𝑞)) ∧ (𝑝 ∧ 𝑞) is always FALSE. Such is


called CONTRADICTION. Other resources call it a FALLACY. It is denoted by ∅.

Module 16
What’s More

Activity 1
Determine the truth value of each of the following propositions. Show the truth table
of each as well.
1. ~𝑝 ∧ 𝑞 where p and q are both false propositions
2. (𝑝 ∧ 𝑟) ∧ ~𝑞 where p and q are both false and r is true
3. ~(𝑞 ∨ 𝑝) ∧ 𝑟 where p and q are both true and r is false
4. ~𝑝 → (𝑞  𝑟) where p is true and q and r are both false
5. 𝑝 → (𝑞 ∨ 𝑟) where p and q are both false and r is true

Activity 2
Consider the statement “Lito saves money for organic and natural products and he
buys paraben-free items”. Suppose p: Lito saves money for organic and natural
products. And q: He buys paraben-free items. Decide on the truth value of 𝑝 ∧ 𝑞 in
each of the following scenarios.
1. Scenario A: Lito was not able to save much money to buy natural products.
He was able to purchase items some of which contain parabens.
2. Scenario B: The money that Lito has saved was more than enough for paying
paraben-free items. He even was able to buy organic food.
3. Scenario C: Though Lito has not saved for natural items, he prioritized buying
paraben-free products. He is decided to change his lifestyle.

What I Have Learned

Fill in each blank with “true” or “false”.


1. The truth value of every proposition may be ____________________ or
____________________.
2. Given that p is true, the truth value of the negation of p (~𝑝) is
____________________.

except for case where p and q are both ____________________.
5. The truth value of all conditional of p and q (𝑝 → 𝑞) is ____________________
except for conditional where p is ____________________ and q is
____________________.

11 CO_Q2_General Mathematics SHS


Module 16
6. The truth value of the biconditional of p and q (𝑝  𝑞) is ____________________
if p and q are both ____________________ or both ____________________.
Otherwise, its truth value is ____________________.
7. A proposition is a tautology if the truth value is always ____________________.
Meanwhile, a proposition is a contradiction or a fallacy if the truth value is
always ____________________.

What I Can Do

Make three simple propositions out of things that matter to you most. What
compound proposition involving logical operators shall represent your plan regarding
these three propositions? Express it in symbols and construct a truth table. What
reflection can you make out of the possible combinations of truth values as you can
see from the truth table? Use a separate sheet of paper for your output.
