Question

Given the statement: Tanya does not own a Ferrari, but Jane owns a Corvette. Define p: Tanya owns a Ferrari, and q: Jane does not own a Ferrari. Then write the statement in symbolic form: ¬p ∧ q.

Answer 1

The symbolic form of the given statement is ¬p ∧ q.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement ¬p & q represents: Tanya does not own a Ferrari, but Jane owns a Corvette.

This can be broken down as follows:

1. ¬p represents the statement 'Tanya does not own a Ferrari.'
2. q represents the statement 'Jane owns a Corvette.'

The conjunction & connects the two statements together, meaning both statements must be true for the overall statement to be true.

Therefore, the symbolic form of the given statement is ¬p & q.
