For each of the following arguments, it is possible to provide a formal proof
of validity by adding just three statements to the premises. Writing these out, carefully and accurately, will strengthen your command of the rules of inference, a needed preparation for the construction of proofs that are more extended and more complex.
1. (H ⊃ I) · (H ⊃ J)
2. H · (I V J)
Therefore, I V J
9.5 B1
For each of the following arguments, a formal proof of validity can be constructed without great difficulty, although some of the proofs may require a sequence of eight or nine lines (including premises) for their completion.
1. A ⊃ B
2. A v (C · D)
3. B · E
Therefore, C
9.6 argument 1
For each of the following one-step arguments, state the one rule of inference by which its conclusion follows from its premise.
(A ⊃ B) ⋅ (C ⊃ D)
Therefore, (A ⊃ B) ⋅ (∼D ⊃ ∼C)
