Legal History
TESDA: Technical-Vocational
St. Ignatius Technical College, Inc. with business address at Zone 11, National
Highway, Barangay Poblacion, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, a family-owned technical
school for secondary graduates who intend to pursue technical studies on Computer
Technology was granted a juridical personality by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 29, 2003 through its Registration No. CN 200322733. The
school started its operation by offering TESDA courses namely: Two Years Diploma in
Computer Technician and Two Years Diploma in Computer Programming. SITC has run
these programs for almost three years before each respective title was changed. In 2007,
TESDA Director General issued a directive that all diploma courses will be delivered
based on the number of hours as determined and prescribed by the technical school
management. Consequently, SITC diploma courses were changed from Diploma in
Computer Technician to Computer Hardware Servicing NC II with 1,800 hours duration
of course delivery. Similarly, Diploma in Computer Programming was changed to
Programming NC IV with 1,800 duration of course delivery. SITC management has
successfully delivered the same computer courses under their new titles until 2011.
Another mandate was released by TESDA Director General in 2011, limiting the
number of hours of delivery of TESDA courses based on TESDA Training Regulations.
With such mandate, Computer Hardware Servicing NC II with 1,800 hours duration of
course delivery was limited to 292 hours only, since that year up to the present. TESDA
did not offer any more Programming NC IV because of some stringent requirements of
the program. SITC continues its operation with only one program being offered to
students.
In 2015, when the demand for Bookkeeping NC III was rising, SITC management
endeavored to apply with TESDA R10 to offer the course and luckily the Tech-Voc agency
on April 23, 2015 granted a Registration No 201510043033, WTR 2436 for Bookkeeping

painfully difficult and irrelevant. Unfortunately, there seem to be few people who are really
interested in convincing them otherwise. Most mathematician fail to relate the difficulties
that others have trying to learn the subject, and most schoolteachers know terribly little
about the essence of Mathematics to instill a passion for it in their students. I personally
believe that Mathematics is both aesthetically and tremendously. It has the power to
unravel the nature of the physical world and simultaneously fill you with the same sense
of awe comes from listening to great music or appreciating great art. My hope is that this
small library helps some people see these aspects of math that experts know well but
is usually just as important as the result. Even if, because of calculators, you never
actually have to use long division, the process of understanding how it teaches abstract
thinking and gives important insights into what decimal numbers are.
This course is intended for students taking the subject General Mathematics,
particularly by senior high school learners. The subject is divided into two MODULES for

Figure 1.1. (a) Interest paid over time to lender. (b) Interest earned over time by investor.
SOLUTION. The perspective here is that of the borrower since ₱10,700 repays a loan.
Apply Equation 1.1 to determine the interest paid.
Interest paid = ₱10,700 – 10,000 = ₱700
Equation 1.2 determines the interest rate paid for 1 year.
₱700
% 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 = × 100% = 7% 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟
₱10,000
EXAMPLE 1.2
SITC plans to borrow ₱20,000 from a bank for 1 year at 9% interest for new
photocopier. Compute the interest and the total amount due after 1 year.
SOLUTION. Compute the total interest accrued by solving Equation 1.2 for interest
accrued.
Interest = ₱20,000(0.09) = ₱1800
The total amount due is the sum of principal and interest.
Total due = ₱20,000 + 1800 = ₱21,800
The total amount due may also be computed as
Total due = principal(1 + interest rate) = ₱20,000(1.09) = ₱21,800
Later we will use this method to determine future amounts for times longer than one
interest period.
From the perspective of a saver, a lender, or an investor, interest earned (Figure 1.1b)
is the final amount minus the initial amount, or principal.
Interest earned = total amount now – principal Equation 1.3
Interest earned over a specific period is expressed as a percentage of the original amount
and is called rate of return (ROR).
EXAMPLE 1.3
(a) Calculate the amount deposited 1 year ago to have ₱1000 now at an interest rate of
5% per year.
(b) Calculate the amount of interest earned during this period.
SOLUTION
(a) The total amount accrued (₱1000) is the sum of the original deposit and the earned
interest.
If 𝑥 is the original deposit,
Total accrued = deposit + deposit(interest rate)
₱1000 = 𝑥 + 𝑥 (0.05) = 𝑥(1 + 0.05) = 1.05𝑥
The original deposit is
1000
𝑥= = ₱952.38
1.05
(b) Apply Equation 1.3 to determine the interest earned.
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 = ₱1000 − 952.38 = ₱47.62
In Examples 1.1 to 1.3 the interest period was 1 year, and the interest amount was
calculated at the end of one period. When more than one interest period is involved, e.g.,
the amount of interest after 3 years, it is necessary to state whether the interest is accrued
EXAMPLE 1.4
Banco de Oro lent a school ₱5,000,000 to retrofit an environmentally unfriendly
building. The loan is for 3 years at 10% per year simple interest. How much money will
the school repay at the end of 3 years?
In mathematical terms, the interest 𝐼𝑡 for time period 𝑡 may be calculated using the
relation.
𝑗=𝑡−1 Equation 1.7
𝐼𝑡 = (𝑃 + ∑ 𝐼𝑗 ) (𝑖)
𝑗=1
EXAMPLE 1.5
Assume a school borrows ₱5,000,000 at 10% per year compound interest and will
pay the principal and all the interest after 3 years. Compute the annual interest and total
amount due after 3 years. Compare with the previous example that involved simple
interest.
SOLUTION. To include compounding of interest, the annual interest and total owed each
year are calculated by Equation 1.6.
Interest, year 1: 5,000,000(0.10) = ₱500,000
Total due, year 1: 5,000,000 + 500,000 = ₱5,500,000
Interest, year 2: 5,500,000(0.10) = ₱550,000
Total due, year 2: 5,500,000 + 550,000 = ₱6,050,000
Interest, year 3: 6,050,000(0.10) = ₱605,000
Total due, year 3: 6,050,000 + 605,000 = ₱6,655,000.
Total due after n years, future value = principal(1 + interest rate)n years Equation 1.8
𝐹 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑟)𝑛
where 𝑟 is expressed in decimal form. Equation 1.8 was applied above to obtain the
₱6,655,000 due after 3 years. This fundamental relation will be used many times in the
upcoming lessons.
EXAMPLE 1.6
Find the compound amount on deposit at the end of 1 year if ₱20,000.00 is
deposited at 4% compounded (a) annually and (b) semi-annually.
SOLUTION.
(a) Using Equation 1.8 where P = ₱20,000.00, r = 4% or 0.04, and t = 1, we have
𝐹 = 20,000(1 + 0.04)1 = ₱20,800.00

(b) A rate of 4% per year compounded semi-annually means a rate of 2% per half year.
The period (interval for compounding) is 6 months. There are two periods per year: the

Definition of Terms
From the cash flow diagram shown above, the future amount F is the sum of
payments starting from the end of the first period to the end of the nth period. Observe
that the total number of payments is n and the total number of compounding periods is
also n. Thus, in ordinary annuity, the number of payments and the number of
compounding periods are equal.
The future value (F) of an annuity is the total accumulation of the payments and interest
earned.

2.5. General Annuity
A general annuity is an annuity wherein the interest conversion period is
unequal or not the same as the payment interval.
NOMINAL AND EFFECTIVE RATES
In Lesson 1, we learned that the primary difference between simple interest and
compound interest is that compound interest includes interest on the interest earned in
the previous period, while simple interest does not. Here we discuss nominal and effective
interest rates, which have the same basic relationship. The difference here is that the
concepts of nominal and effective must be used when interest is compounded more than
once each year. For example, if an interest rate is expressed as 1% per month, the terms
nominal and effective interest rates must be considered.
There are three cases for this.
Case 1: Compounding and payment periods coincide. This is what we have learned
𝑟
so far. 𝑖 = 𝑘 in this case. However, this is not always the case.
Case 2: Compounding is more frequent than payments. This makes use of the
nominal and effective rate formula which is stated in Equation 2.7.
𝑘2 Equation 2.7
𝑟 𝑘1
𝑖 = (1 + ) − 1
𝑘2
where 𝑘1 is the payment interval and 𝑘2 is the compounding interval with respect to a
year.
What Equation 2.7 does is transforming the nominal interest to effective interest
rate. An effective interest rate 𝑖 is a rate wherein the compounding of interest is taken into
account. Effective rates are commonly expressed on an annual basis as an effective
annual rate; however, any time basis may be used. This is clear in the next example.
SOLUTION.
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 27
Notice that this is a Case 2 situation wherein your compounding (every three
months) is more frequent than the payment period (once a year). The compounding and
payments do not coincide. To do this, we have to get the effective interest rate which will
transform our quarterly nominal interest to effective annual interest.
Given:
𝐴 = ₱2,000.00, 𝑟 = 5%, 𝑘1 = 1 (𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦), 𝑘2 = 4 (𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑦) , 𝑡 = 9 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠, 𝑛 = 9

𝑃 = ₱14,155.99
Case 3: Compounding is less frequent that payments. This is the usual case in our
banks where we deposit more frequently than it is compounded. Banks usually compound
our money per year. So, if we deposit every 3 months and it is compounded every year,
we have a Case 3 situation happening. This is demonstrated in the next example.

Definition of Terms
Stock Certificate – a paper issued to a shareholder which shows on its face the number
of shares it represents.
Shareholder or Stockholder – one who owns shares of corporation stock.
Dividend – earnings distributed to shareholders of a corporation.
Certificate number – an accession number or placeholder to keep track of the number
of certificates.
Par value – the face value of a bond or stock.
No-par Stock – stock issued without a stated value on the certificate.
The market price or market value of a share of stock is usually quoted in pesos per
share. A quotation of “35½” means that the price of one share is ₱35.50.
Investors make money with stock by selling stock for more money than they paid
for it. When one buys a stock through a broker (a dealer of stocks, bonds, or real estate),
the total cost of stock is the market price of the stock and the broker’s commission.

corporation declaration a 7.25% dividend, what is the total dividend that Ricone should
get?
SOLUTION.
EXAMPLE 4.6.
Find the yearly income Aira will receive from an investment in 1000 shares of Apple
stock if a dividend of ₱14.80 per share is paid quarterly.
SOLUTION.
Dividend for one quarter: 1000 × ₱14.80 = ₱14,800
Yearly income: 4 × ₱14,800 = ₱59,200.00
The rate of income on a stock investment is the ratio of the annual dividends to
the total cost of stock.

SELLING STOCKS
Another way a shareholder earns an income is to sell his stock. A broker may be
used to buy or sell stocks. The broker’s representatives take charge of the investor’s
order. However, selling a stock will either make a profit, break-even, or take a loss. A
profit, break-even, or loss depends on the total cost of the stock, the selling price of the
stock, and the expenses in selling the stock. Some expenses to be considered are
commission of the broker, small SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) fees, and
sometimes transfer tax. After deducting all the expenses form the market price of the
stock, the money that you will receive is called the net proceeds.
EXAMPLE 4.7.
Find the net proceeds of the stocks on the table below.
EXAMPLE 4.8.
If you bought 500 shares of East West Banking Corp. stock at the 52-WEEK LOW,
₱23.55 per share, and sold at the 52-WEEK HIGH, ₱31.60 per share
a. how much money did you make on this transaction (ignoring dividends)?
b. find the broker’s commission if the broker charges 2% of the total sale price.
SOLUTION
a. Calculate the difference between low price per share and the high price per share.
₱31.60 − ₱23.55 = ₱8.05
Thus, you made ₱8.05 per share. For 500 shares you made, ₱8.05 x 500 or ₱4,025.00.
b. Because you are selling the stock at ₱31.60 x 500 or ₱15,800.00 and the broker
charges 2% of the total sale price; thus,
₱15,800 × 0.02 = ₱316
The broker received ₱316.00 as his commission.
4.3. Bonds
A bond is a form of long-term investment issued by a corporation or government
where the purchaser becomes a creditor of the company. People who buy a bond are
lending money to the corporation from which they buy the bond. Hence, a bond is very
much like a loan. When a corporation is selling a bond, it is really selling an IOU, which
is a promise to payback the buyer his money, plus interest at a particular time.
There are several reasons for issuing bonds. For example, if the Traditional Wine
Technologies, Inc. (TWTI) wants to borrow ₱50,000,000.00 for 5 years for the expansion
of their business. So, it issues 50,000 5-year bonds with a face value of ₱1,000.00 each.
The entire issue is often sold to an investment banking house, the bank then sells the
bonds to investors at a slight increase in price over what it paid for them. In this case, the
banking house may buy then for TWTI at ₱995.00 each and then sell them at ₱1,000.00
each to the investors.
Figure 4.2. Example of a Bond Certificate (Again, I just made this up.)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Bond – a form of long-term promissory note issued by a corporation or government in
exchange for a sum of money.
Bond holder – one who holds a corporation or government bond.
Bonds have two kinds of values: par value and market value. The par value of
the bond is the same as its face value. This is the amount printed on the face of the bond
which the borrower promises to pay the bond holder on the due date. In the given
corporation bond, showing the bond holder Mr. Brian Salise, the par value is ₱1,000.00.
The market value of a bond is the price at which the bond is being sold. It may be greater
than or less than the amount of the par value. If the market value is greater than the par
value, then the bond is selling at a discount.
The market price of a bond is computed by multiplying the par value by the percent
of the par value. Note that “95” means 95% of the par value of the bond. For example, if
the banking house offers TWTI bonds at 98, the price of one of the corporation’s
₱1,000.00 bonds is 98% of ₱1,000.00 or ₱980.00. However, if the quoted price of a bond
is 105, the price of a ₱1,000.00 would be 105% of ₱1,000.00 or ₱1,050.00.
EXAMPLE 4.9.
Find the market price of one ₱1,000.00 bond at each quoted price.
a. 98 b. 96 c. 102 d. 101¾ e. 99½ f. 106¼
EXAMPLE 4.10.
Ms. Haziel Hulguin bought fifty ₱1,000.00 TWTI bonds at 103. What is her total
investment in TWTI bonds?
SOLUTION.
Market Price of 1 bond: 1.03 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱1030.00
Total investment: 50 × ₱1,030.00 = ₱51,500.00
When bonds are bought and sold through a broker, the broker charges a broker’s
commission or brokerage fee. Hence, the amount of investment becomes the market
price of the bonds plus the broker’s commission.
EXAMPLE 4.11.
Kezia Garcia bought five ₱1000.00 MacQue Outback Corporation bonds at 92 plus
₱10.00 commission per bond through a broker. What is Kezia’s amount of investment?
SOLUTION.
Market Price of 1 bond: 0.92 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱920.00
Market Price of 5 bond: 5 × ₱920.00 = ₱4,600.00
Commission on 5 bonds: 5 × ₱10.00 = ₱50.00
Bond Income
The interest given by the corporation as a government unit who issued the bond
serves the income from the bond. The interest of the bond is based on the par value.
Because the par value serves as the principal, the interest formula can be calculated as:
Interest = Par value x Rate x Time
The interest for five years on a ₱1000.00 par value, 10% bond would be ̈́₱500.00.
If the interest is paid semiannually, the amount of each interest for the said bond is
500⁄(2)(5) or ₱50 semiannual interest.
EXAMPLE 4.12.
Ms. Sabio owns 45 bonds with a par value of ₱1000.00 each and pays 8½%
interest. What annual income does Ms. Sabio get from these bonds?
SOLUTION.
Par value of 45 bond: 45 × ₱1,000.00 = ₱45,000.00
Interest: ₱45,000.00 × 0.085 × 1 = ₱3,825.00
The annual income is ₱3,825.00
Before buying bonds, it is important to know what rate of income you will receive
from them. Hence, this will help you compare bonds with other types of investments.
The rate of income is the ratio of the annual income to the total investment. This is
often called yield.
EXAMPLE 4.13.
Find the yield on ₱1000.00, 9% TWTI bond priced at 94 plus ₱10 commission.
SOLUTION.
Annual income: ₱1,000.00 × 0.09 × 1 = ₱90.00
Amount invested: Market price + commission
0.94 × ₱1,000.00 + ₱10 = ₱950.00

LESSON 5
Logic is defined as “the science of correct reasoning.” Aristotle (384 – 322 B.C.) is
one of the earliest logicians and one of the most renowned. He was the student of Plato
and the tutor of Alexander the Great. His logic was used to distinguish valid arguments
from invalid arguments. In this lesson, we will apply the key concepts of propositional
logic, syllogisms, and fallacies in real-life arguments.
5.1. Propositions
Before we dive right into the lesson, we must review our English lesson about
sentences a bit.
Kinds of Sentences
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Simple proposition – a proposition that conveys one thought with no connecting words.
Compound proposition – contains two or more simple propositions that are put together
using connective words.
The proposition “Danica is passing in Mathematics” is a simple proposition.
However, “Danica is passing in Mathematics, but she is failing in Social Science” is a
compound proposition. It is a compound proposition because it is a combination of two
simple propositions “Danica is passing in Mathematics” and “She is failing in Social
Science.”
There are several ways in which simple propositions can be combined to form
compound propositions. Different combinations of compound propositions can be formed
by using logical connectives or simply, connectives. Words such as and, or, not, and
if…then are examples of connectives.
If the proposition is compound, then it must be one of the following: conjunction,
disjunction, conditional, biconditional, or negation.
1. Conjunction – Two simple propositions connected using the word and.
Example: “Today is Friday and tomorrow is Saturday.”
Sometimes, the word but will be used in place of and in each sentence.
2. Disjunction – Two simple propositions connected using the word or.
Example: “I will pass the General Mathematics subject, or I will be promoted.”
3. Conditional – Two simple propositions connected using the words if…then.
Example: “If you make an original poem with rhyming words at the end of each
line then you will get 100 points in your final requirement.”
The statement between the if and then is called the antecedent of the conditional.
The sentence that follows then is called the consequent.
EXAMPLE 5.2.
Classify each proposition as simple or compound. Classify each compound proposition
as a negation, conjunction, disjunction, conditional, or biconditional.
a. My friend took his master’s degree in UP Diliman.
b. Roses are red, but violets are blue.
c. You are entitled to a 30% discount if you are a member.
5.2. Symbols
Symbols are used to simplify work in logic. If x and y are the frequently used letters
in algebra, the letters p, q, or r are often used to represent propositions in logic. The table
below shows the several symbols for connectives, together with the respective types of
compound proposition.
Connective Symbol Type of Statement
and ˄ conjunction
or ˅ disjunction
not ~ negation
if…then → conditional
if and only if (iff) ↔ biconditional
EXAMPLE 5.3.
Let p represent the proposition “He has a green thumb” and
q represent the proposition “He is a senior citizen.”
Convert each compound proposition into symbols.
a. He has green thumb, and he is a senior citizen.
b. He does not have green thumb, or he is not a senior citizen.
c. It is not the case that he has green thumb, or he is a senior citizen.
d. If he has green thumb, then he is not a senior citizen.
SOLUTION.
a. p˄q c. ~ (p ˅ q)
b. ~p ˅ ~q d. p → ~q
EXAMPLE 5.4.
Let p represent “Naomi can swim” and let q be “Herbert plays the guitar.” Write
each symbolic statement is word.
a. p ˅ q b. p ˄ ~q c. ~ (p ˅ q) d. ~ (p ˄ q)
SOLUTION.
a. Naomi can swim, or Herbert plays the guitar.
b. Naomi can swim, and Herbert cannot play the guitar.
c. It is not the case that Naomi can swim, or Herbert can play the guitar.
d. It is not the case that Naomi can swim, and Herbert can play the guitar.
~ (p ˅ q) means the negation of the entire statement p ˅ q. In ~p ˅ q, only
statement p is negated.
Negation of the Disjunction p or q
~ (p ˅ q) means ~p ˄ ~q. Thus, another solution to part c of Example 5.4 is “Naomi
cannot swim, and Herbert cannot play the guitar.”
Negation of the Conjunction p and q
~ (p ˄ q) means ~p ˅ ~q. Thus, another solution to part d of Example 5.4 is “Naomi
cannot swim, or Herbert cannot play the guitar.”
EXAMPLE 5.5.
Write the following in symbolic form:
a. “Kaye is a working student (w) or under 25 years old (u), and lives in Tagoloan (l).”
b. “Kaye is a working student (w), or under 25 years old (u) and lives in Tagoloan (l).”
SOLUTION.
The use of commas indicates which simple statements are grouped together.
EXAMPLE 5.6.
Identify each proposition as a conjunction, disjunction, negation, conditional, or
biconditional.
a. James is absent or Jimni is absent, and it is submission day.
b. Either Jay passed the test, or Lou passed the test and Jingky failed.
c. It is false that if I go on vacation, then I have received my 13th month pay.
d. If my brother pays the rental and I pay the electricity, then my father pays the tuition
fees.
SOLUTION.
a. As the comma indicates, the proposition is a conjunction.
b. The proposition is a disjunction as the comma indicates.
c. The phrase “It is false” identifies the statement as negation even though it contains
conditional. In the statement, the phrase “It is false that” negates everything that follows.
d. The proposition is a conditional statement because of the word if.
Parentheses in symbolic statements are used to tell what type of statements are
being considered. If there are no parentheses, we follow the dominance of connectives.
The list below gives the connectives in their dominant order (from the strongest to the
weakest).
Biconditional > Conditional > Disjunction, Conjunction > Negation
The conjunction and disjunction are of equal value.
EXAMPLE 5.7.
Identify each symbolic statement as a conjunction, disjunction, negation, conditional, or
biconditional.
a. P ˅ Q ↔ R c. ~ (P ˅ Q) e. ~ (P → Q ˄ R)
b. (P ˄ Q) ˅ R d. ~P ˄ Q → R ˅ S f. P ˄ (Q → R)

˄ q is false.
EXAMPLE 5.10.
Let p be “I will clean the kitchen.” and q be “I will clean the bathroom.”
Form the inclusive disjunction of p and q and discuss its truth values.
SOLUTION.
The statement, “I will clean the kitchen, or I will clean the bathroom” is the required
disjunction. It will be false only if both components are false and will be true otherwise
(see Table 5.2).
EXAMPLE 5.11.
Let p be “I will pass the math quiz.” and q be “I will flunk the math quiz.”
Form the disjunction of p and q and discuss its truth values.
SOLUTION.
“I will pass the math quiz, or I will flunk it” is the desired disjunction. The statement will
only be true when exactly one of the two components is true. Otherwise, it will be false.
Negation
If P is a simple proposition, then P is either true or false but not both. That is, if P
is a true statement, then its truth value is true and if P is false, then its truth value is false.
If we negate P and P is true, then ~P must be false, and if P is false, then ~P must
be true. This type of analysis is shown in Table 5.4.

Find the truth value of each statement.
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 75
a. If 3 + 3 = 9, then 33 = 6. c. If 5 is a whole number, then 7 is a real number
b. If 3 + 3 = 6, then 12 = 7.
SOLUTION.
a. Let P represent “3 + 3 = 9,” and Q represent “33 = 6.” Since 3 + 3 = 9 is false and
33 = 6 is false, then P→Q is true.
b. Let P represent “3 + 3 = 6,” and Q represent “12 = 7.” Since 3 + 3 = 6 is true and
12 = 7 is false, then P→Q is false.
c. Let P represent “5 is a whole number,” and Q represent “7 is a real number.” Since
“5 is a whole number” is true and “7 is a real number” is true, then P→Q is true.
EXAMPLE 5.17.
Find all the values of x that will make each sentence true.
a. If 4 + 4 = 8, then x – 4 = 7. c. If x + 4 = 10, then 5 + 4 = 9.
b. If 4 + 4 = 44, then x – 4 = 7. d. If x + 4 = 10, then 5 + 4 = 20.
SOLUTION.
a. Let P and Q represent the antecedent and consequent for each statement. The
conditional statement P→Q where P is true (4 + 4 = 8) is only true when Q is also
true. Thus, x must be 11 for the sentence to be true.
b. The conditional statement P→Q, where P is false (4 + 4 ≠ 44), is true whenever Q
is either true or false. Thus, x can be any value for P→Q to be true.
c. The conditional statement P→Q, where Q is true (5 + 4 = 9), is true whenever P is
either true or false. Thus, x can be any value for P→Q to be true.
d. The conditional statement P→Q, where Q is false (5 + 4 ≠ 20), can be true
whenever P is false. Thus, x must not be equal to 6 for P→Q to be true.

P↔Q is true when and only when P and Q have the same truth value.

EXAMPLE 6.1.
Write the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of the statement below. Then, tell whether
each is true or false.
“If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.”
SOLUTION.
Identify the hypothesis and conclusion.
Hypothesis: Two angles form a linear pair.
EXAMPLE 6.2.
Write in words the (a) converse, (b) inverse, and (c) contrapositive of the statement, “If n
is an even number, then n + 1 is an odd number.”
SOLUTION.
The given statement is of the form P→Q, where P is “n is an even number” and Q
is “n + 1 is and odd number.”
a. Converse: Q→P, which translates into “if n + 1 is an odd number, then n is an even
number.”
b. Inverse: ~P→~Q, which translates into “if n is not an even number, then n + 1 is not an
odd number.”
c. Contrapositive: ~Q→~P, translate into “if n + 1 is not an odd number, then n is not an
even number.”
TRY. Write the contrapositive of “If you cannot pass the final exam (f), you cannot pass
the subject (s).”
Conditional Equivalents
The following are other interpretations of P→Q.
• If P, then Q • P implies Q • P is sufficient for Q
• If P, Q • Q whenever P • Q is necessary for P
• Q if P • P only if Q • Q is implied by P
The following tables give the truth tables for statements related to conditionals.

The summary of the truth tables related to conditional is given in the following Table 6.4.
Table 6.4. Truth Table for Conditional "P → Q" and the related terms.
EXAMPLE 6.4.
Show that the two given compound propositions are equivalent.
a. ~ (P ˅ Q) and ~P ˄ ~Q
b. ~ (P ˄ Q) and ~P ˅ ~Q
SOLUTION.
a. Prepare truth table for each statement.
For ~ (P ˅ Q):
P Q P˅Q ~ (P ˅ Q)
T T T F
T F T F
F T T F
F F F T
For ~P ˄ ~Q:
P Q ~P ~Q ~P ˄ ~Q
T T F F F
T F F T F
F T T F F
F F T T T
Because ~ (P ˅ Q) and ~P ˄ ~Q have exactly the same truth values, FFFT, then
they are equivalent.
For ~P ˅ ~Q:
P Q ~P ~Q ~P ˅ ~Q
T T F F F
T F F T T
F T T F T
F F T T T
Because ~ (P ˄ Q) and ~P ˅ ~Q have exactly the same truth values, FTTT, then
they are equivalent. These examples exhibit De Morgan’s Law.
De Morgan’s Law
• ~ (P ˄ Q) ≡ ~P ˅ ~Q
• ~ (P ˅ Q) ≡ ~P ˄ ~Q
EXAMPLE 6.5.
Write a statement equivalent to:
“It is not true that Louie is a mathematician or comedian.”
SOLUTION.
Let P and Q represent the following simple statements:
P: Louie is a mathematician.
Q: Louie is a comedian.
The given statement in symbols is ~ (P ˅ Q). An equivalent statement is ~P ˄ ~Q. This
can be translated as:
Louie is not a mathematician and Louie is not a comedian.
Or
Louie is neither a mathematician nor a comedian.
EXAMPLE 6.6.
Write the negation of each statement.
EXAMPLE 6.7.
Write a statement that is equivalent to:
“If Francis fails, he will take summer class and cannot travel.”
SOLUTION.
Write the conditional statement in symbolic form.
Let P: Francis fails.
Q: Francis will take summer class.
R: Francis can travel.
If Francis fails, he will take summer class and cannot travel.
P → (Q ˄ ~R)
An equivalent statement is the contrapositive
~ (Q ˄ ~R) → ~P.
[~Q ˅ ~(~R)] → ~P De Morgan’s Law for Negation of a Conjunction.
(~Q ˅ R) → ~P Simplify.
Thus,
P → (Q ˄ ~R) ≡ (~Q ˅ R) → ~P.
EXAMPLE 6.8.
Select the statement that is not equivalent to: “If it’s sunny, then I need an umbrella.”
a. It is not sunny, or I need an umbrella.
b. I need an umbrella, or it is not sunny.
c. If I need an umbrella, then it is sunny.
d. If I do not need an umbrella, then it is not sunny.
SOLUTION.
Write the given statement and the choices in symbolic form. The statement, “If it’s sunny,
then I need an umbrella,” can be represented as follows:
P: It is sunny.
Q: I need an umbrella.
The symbolic representations of the given statement and the choices are:
If it’s sunny, then I need an umbrella. P→Q
a. It is not sunny, or I need an umbrella. ~P ˅ Q
b. I need an umbrella, or it is not sunny. Q ˅ ~P
c. If I need an umbrella, then it is sunny. Q→P
d. If I do not need an umbrella, then it is not sunny. ~Q → ~P
Construct a truth table that contains the truth values for P → Q, as well as those for the
four choices.
Given (a) (b) (c) (d)
P Q P→Q ~P ~P ˅ Q Q ˅ ~P Q→P ~Q ~Q → ~P
T T T F T T T F T
T F F F F F T T F
F T T T T T F F T
F F T T T T T T T
The statement in (c) does not have the same corresponding truth values as in the
given statement P → Q. Therefore, this statement is not equivalent to the given statement.
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 88
The Negation of a Conditional Statement
The negation of P → Q is P ˄ ~Q. This can be expressed as
~ (P → Q) ≡ P ˄ ~Q
The following truth table shows that P ˄ ~Q negates P → Q.
P Q P→Q ~Q P ˄ ~Q
T T T F F
T F F T T
F T T F F
F F T T F
The shaded columns have opposite truth values; thus P ˄ ~Q negates P → Q.
Note: To form the negation of a conditional statement,
1. leave the antecedent unchanged;
2. change the if-then connective to and; and
3. negate the consequent.
EXAMPLE 6.9.
Write the negation of the following:
a. If the music is playing, then I cannot concentrate.
b. ~A → ~B
SOLUTION.
a.
Given statement: If the music is playing, then I cannot concentrate.
Negation: The music is playing and I can concentrate.
The negation of the given statement is
The music is playing, and I can concentrate.
b. Given statement: ~A → ~B
Negation: ~A ˄ B
6.2. Tautology
A compound statement which is true for any combination of truth values of the
variables in the statement is called a tautology. A statement that is always false is called
a contradiction.
EXAMPLE 6.9.
Construct the truth table for each of the following and show that the compound statement
is a tautology.
a. (P → Q) ↔ (~Q → ~P) c. [P ˅ (~P)] ˄ [Q ˅ (~Q)]
b. ~ (P ˄ Q) ↔ (~P ˅ ~Q)
SOLUTION.
a.
• The dominant connective is ↔.
• Complete the columns P and Q.
• Combine Columns 1 and 2 using the connective → to get entries for P → Q. Write
the result in Column 3.
• Negate statement P to get entries in Column 4.
• Negate statement Q to get entries in Column 5.
• Combine Columns 4 and 5 using the connective → to get entries for ~Q → ~P.
Write the result in Column 6.
• Finally, combine Columns 5 and 6 using the connective ↔ to get the truth values
for (P → Q) ↔ (~Q → ~P). Write the result in Column 7.
P Q P→Q ~P ~Q ~Q → ~P (P→Q)↔(~Q→~P)
T T T F F T T
T F F F T F T
F T T T F T T

Because (P → Q) ↔ (~Q → ~P) is always true, the compound statement is a tautology.

• The dominant connective is ↔.
• Complete the columns P and Q.
• Combine Columns 1 and 2 using the connective ˄ to get entries for P ˄ Q. Write
the result in Column 3.

• Negate statement Q to get entries in Column 6.
• Combine Columns 5 and 6 using the connective ˅ to get entries for ~P ˅ ~Q. Write
the result in Column 7.
• Finally, combine Columns 4 and 7 using the connective ↔ to get the truth values
for ~ (P ˄ Q) ↔ (~P ˅ ~Q). Write the result in Column 8.
P Q P˄Q ~ (P ˄ Q) ~P ~Q ~P ˅ ~Q ~(P˄Q) ↔ (~P˅~Q)

• Complete the columns P and Q.
• Negate statement P to get entries in Column 3.
• Combine Columns 1 and 3 using the connective ˅ to get entries for P ˅ (~P). Write
the result in Column 4.
• Negate statement Q to get entries in Column 5.
• Combine Columns 2 and 5 using the connective ˅ to get entries in Column 6.
EXAMPLE 6.10.
Construct a truth table for (P ˄ Q) → R and determine whether the statement is a
tautology.
SOLUTION.
For compound statement consisting of three simple statements, there are 2 3 or 8
different true-false combinations. The dominant connective is →.
P Q R P˄Q (P ˄ Q) → R
T T T T T
T T F T F
T F T F T
T F F F T
F T T F T
F T F F T
F F T F T
F F F F T
The truth values in the final column are not all Ts. Thus, (P ˄ Q) → R is not true
in all possible cases; hence, the statement is not a tautology.
Note:
• Another way of saying that this statement is not a tautology is that this conditional
statement is not an implication.
• The final column tells us that the statement is false when both P and Q are true
and R is false. For example, your teacher says,
If you buy the book and read it daily, then you will pass the examination.
Use the following representations:
P: You buy the book.
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 92
Q: You read it daily.
R: You will pass the examination.
The teacher’s claim can be expressed symbolically as (P ˄ Q) → R.
The student buys the book (P is true), reads it daily (Q is true), but the student fails
in the examination (R is false). This corresponds to the second row in the truth table for
(P ˄ Q) → R. The teacher’s claim is false.
6.3. Valid Argument and Fallacy
In the conditional statement (EXAMPLE 6.10),
If you buy the book and read it daily, then you will pass the examination.
The teacher’s claim is not true because (P ˄ Q) → R is not a tautology, hence, making
his argument not valid.
An argument is made up of two parts: the given statements called the premises
and a conclusion. It is valid if the conclusion is true whenever the premises are
assumed to be true. If it is not valid, it is said to be an invalid argument or a fallacy.
Here is an example of an argument:
Premise 1: If one loves Algebra, then he loves Mathematics.
Premise 2: Mike loves Algebra.
Conclusion: Therefore, Mike loves Mathematics.
Representing each simple statement with a letter:
P: One loves Algebra.
Q: One loves Mathematics.
Writing the two premises and the conclusion in symbolic form, we have:
Premise 1: P→Q If one loves Algebra, then he loves Mathematics.
Premise 2: P Mike loves Algebra.
Conclusion: ∴Q Therefore, Mike loves Mathematics.
To check whether the argument is valid or a fallacy, we rewrite it as a conditional
statement in the form
[(P → Q) ˄ P] → Q
If premise 1 and 2 then conclusion
and construct a truth table for the statement
[(P → Q) ˄ P] → Q
EXAMPLE 6.11.
Use truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is a
tautology and whether it is valid or a fallacy.
a. P→Q c. (P ˄ Q) ˄ (Q ˄ P)
~P P
∴ ~Q ∴ P˅Q
b. ~P → Q
~P
∴ P
SOLUTION.
a. The symbolic statement is [(P → Q) ˄ ~P] → ~Q.
The truth table:
P Q P→Q ~P (P → Q) ˄ ~P ~Q [(P → Q) ˄ ~P] → ~Q
T T T F F F T
T F F F F T T
F T T T T F F
ST. IGNATIUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE, INC. NOT FOR SALE 94
F F T T T T T
The entries in the final column of the truth table are not all true, so the argument is
not a tautology. And since the conclusion in row 3 is false while the premises are true,
then the argument is a fallacy.
EXAMPLE 6.12.
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then use Table 6.5 (if possible) to determine
whether each argument is valid or a fallacy.
a. If I am relaxed, I am productive. b. If it is cold and rainy, I stay home.
If I am productive, I am happy It is not cold or it is not rainy.
∴ If I am not happy, I am not relaxed ∴ I do not stay home.
SOLUTION.
a. Use letters to represent each statement in the argument.
Let P: I am relaxed.
Q: I am productive.
R: I am happy.
