    This document defines and provides examples of tautologies. A tautology is a compound statement that is always true regardless of the truth values of its individual statements. Examples given include "I will give you 100 pesos or I will not give you 100 pesos" and "It will either snow today or it will not snow today." The document also lists various logical laws that illustrate tautologies, such as conjunction, disjunction, material implication, and constructive dilemma. Readers are instructed to construct truth tables to show that compound statements are tautologies.

    TAUTOLOGIES

    Objective:

     illustrate tautologies.
    A tautology is a compound statement that is true for every value of the
    individual statements.

    The simple examples of tautology are:

    1. I will give you Php 100.00 or I will not give you Php 100.00.

    2. It will either snow today or it will not snow today.

    3. She is brave or she is not brave.

    4. A function is a polynomial function or it is not a polynomial function.

    5. Jose will win the election, or he will not win the election.
