13. Example 1
Use the following statements to write a compound sentence for each
conjunction. Then find its truth value. Explain your reasoning.
p: One meter is 100 mm q: November has 30 days
r: A line is defined by two points
a. p and q
One meter is 100 mm and November has 30 days
q is true, but p is false, so the conjunction is false
b. ~ p ∧ r

14. Example 1
Use the following statements to write a compound sentence for each
conjunction. Then find its truth value. Explain your reasoning.
p: One meter is 100 mm q: November has 30 days
r: A line is defined by two points
a. p and q
One meter is 100 mm and November has 30 days
q is true, but p is false, so the conjunction is false
b. ~ p ∧ r
One meter is not 100 mm and a line is defined by two points

15. Example 1
Use the following statements to write a compound sentence for each
conjunction. Then find its truth value. Explain your reasoning.
p: One meter is 100 mm q: November has 30 days
r: A line is defined by two points
a. p and q
One meter is 100 mm and November has 30 days
q is true, but p is false, so the conjunction is false
b. ~ p ∧ r
One meter is not 100 mm and a line is defined by two points
Both ~p and r are true, so is true ~ p ∧ r

q: Kilometers are metric units
p: AB is proper notation for “ray AB”
r: 15 is a prime number
a. p or q
AB is proper notation for “ray AB” or kilometers are metric units
Both p and q are true, so p or q is true
b. q ∨ r

q: Kilometers are metric units
p: AB is proper notation for “ray AB”
r: 15 is a prime number
a. p or q
AB is proper notation for “ray AB” or kilometers are metric units
Both p and q are true, so p or q is true

20. Example 2
Use the following statements to write a compound statement for
each disjunction. Then find its truth value. Explain your reasoning.
q: Kilometers are metric units
p: AB is proper notation for “ray AB”
r: 15 is a prime number
a. p or q
AB is proper notation for “ray AB” or kilometers are metric units
Both p and q are true, so p or q is true
b. q ∨ r
Kilometers are metric units or 15 is a prime number
Since one of the statements (q) is true, is true q ∨ r

each disjunction. Then find its truth value. Explain your reasoning.
q: Kilometers are metric units
p: AB is proper notation for “ray AB”
r: 15 is a prime number
c. ~ p ∨ r
AB is not proper notation of “ray AB” or 15 is a prime number

23. Example 2
Use the following statements to write a compound statement for
each disjunction. Then find its truth value. Explain your reasoning.
q: Kilometers are metric units
p: AB is proper notation for “ray AB”
r: 15 is a prime number
