Theorem

$\vdash \paren {p \land q} \iff \paren {\neg \paren {\neg p \lor \neg q} }$


Proof 1

By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$\vdash \paren {p \land q} \iff \paren {\neg \paren {\neg p \lor \neg q} } $
Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
1 1 $p \land q$ Assumption (None)
2 1 $\neg \paren {\neg p \lor \neg q}$ Sequent Introduction 1 De Morgan's Laws (Logic): Conjunction: Formulation 1
3 $\paren {p \land q} \implies \paren {\neg \paren {\neg p \lor \neg q} }$ Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ 1 – 2 Assumption 1 has been discharged

Proof by Truth Table

We apply the Method of Truth Tables.

As can be seen by inspection, the truth values under the main connective are true for all boolean interpretations.

$\begin{array}{|ccc|c|cccccc|} \hline (p & \land & q) & \iff & (\neg & (\neg & p & \lor & \neg & q)) \\ \hline \F & \F & \F & \T & \F & \T & \F & \T & \T & \F \\ \F & \F & \T & \T & \F & \T & \F & \T & \F & \T \\ \T & \F & \F & \T & \F & \F & \T & \T & \T & \F \\ \T & \T & \T & \T & \T & \F & \T & \F & \F & \T \\ \hline \end{array}$

$\blacksquare$
