Question

let p and q represent the following statements.
p: 8 + 5 = 12
q: 8×7 = 112
determine the truth value for the statement p∨q.
choose the correct truth value below.
○ p∨q is false.
○ p∨q is true.

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate truth value of p

Check if $8+5=12$: $8+5=13$, so p is false.

Step2: Evaluate truth value of q

Check if $8\times7=112$: $8\times7=56$, so q is false.

Step3: Evaluate $p\lor q$

A disjunction $\lor$ is true only if at least one statement is true. Since both p and q are false, $p\lor q$ is false.

Answer:

p∨q is false.
