Part I

  1. Draw the expression tree for $((\neg(a))\Rightarrow (b)) \Leftrightarrow ((a)\vee (b))$
  2. Write down the formula represented by the expression tree:
  3. Prove that $\neg(\neg((\neg(a))\vee (b)))$ is a propositional formula.
  4. Why is $(a)\neg(b)$ not a propositional formula?
  5. Why is $(\wedge)\vee(a)$ not a propositional formula?
  6. Is $x_1$ a propositional formula? Justify!


Part II

  1. Draw the expression tree for $a \Rightarrow b \Rightarrow c$. Note: you might want to put in the parentheses first!
  2. Draw the expression tree for $a \Rightarrow b \wedge c \Rightarrow d$. Note: you might want to put in the parentheses first!
  3. Draw the expression tree for $\neg a \Rightarrow b \Leftrightarrow a \vee b$
  4. Write down the formula represented by the expression tree below without any unnecessary ( )s:
