    Truth Tables

    1. Translate each statement from symbolic notation into English sentences. Let A represent “Elvis is alive” and let G represent “Elvis gained weight”.
      1. \(A \vee G\)
      2. \(\sim(A \wedge G)\)
    2. For questions 2 - 3, use the statements A and G from the previous problem and let statement P represent "Elvis is in Vegas". Translate each statement from symbolic notation into English sentences then create a truth table for each statement.
      1. \(A \wedge \sim G\)
      2. \(\sim(\sim A \vee G)\)
    3. Complete the truth table for the exclusive or.

      \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline A & B & A \vee B \\ \hline \mathrm{T} & \mathrm{T} & \\ \hline \mathrm{T} & \mathrm{F} & \\ \hline \mathrm{F} & \mathrm{T} & \\ \hline \mathrm{F} & \mathrm{F} & \\ \hline \end{array}\)

    4. Complete the truth table for \((A \vee B) \wedge \sim(A \wedge B)\).

      \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline A & B & A \vee B & A \wedge B & \sim(A \wedge B) & (A \vee B) \wedge \sim(A \wedge B) \\ \hline \mathrm{T} & \mathrm{T} & & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{T} & \mathrm{F} & & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{F} & \mathrm{T} & & & & \\ \hline \mathrm{F} & \mathrm{F} & & & & \\ \hline \end{array}\)

    5. Compare your answers for questions 3 and 4. Can you explain the similarities?
