1 Logic Practice 2018 [95 marks] Consider the following logic propositions. p: Sandi gets up before eight o clock q: Sandi goes for a run r: Sandi goes for a swim 1a. Write down in words the compound proposition If Sandi gets up before eight o clock then Sandi (either) goes for a run or goes for a swim, but not both. (A1)(A1)(A1) (C3) Note: Award (A1) for If then, (A1) for all propositions in the correct order, (A1) for or but not both (do not accept either as a replacement for but not both ). 1b. Complete the following truth table.

On a morning when Sandi does not get up before eight o clock, use your truth table to determine whether p (q r) is a tautology, contradiction or neither. tautology (A1)(ft) (C1) Note: Follow through from part (b). 2a. Consider the following statements z : x is an integer q : x is a rational number r : x is a real number. i) Write down, in words, q. ii) Write down a value for x such that the statement q is true. i) x is not a rational number (A1) Note: Accept x is an irrational number. ii) any non-rational number (for example: π, 2, ) (A1) (C2) 2b. Write the following argument in symbolic form: If is a real number and is not a rational number, then is not an integer. x x x

Phoebe states that the argument in part (b) can be shown to be valid, without the need of a truth table. Justify Phoebe s statement. all integers are rational numbers (and therefore x cannot be an integer if it is not a rational number) (R1) Note: Accept equivalent expressions. OR if x is an integer, then x is a rational number, therefore if x is not a rational number, then x is not an integer (contrapositive) (R1) (C1) Note: Accept If x is not in Q, then x is not in Z with a Venn diagram showing R, Q and Z correctly. 3a.
