Theorem

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


Proof

We apply the Method of Truth Tables.

As can be seen by inspection, the truth values under the main connectives match for all boolean interpretations.

$\begin{array}{|ccccc||cccc|} \hline \neg & p & \land & \neg & q & \neg & (p & \lor & q) \\ \hline \T & \F & \T & \T & \F & \T & \F & \F & \F \\ \T & \F & \F & \F & \T & \F & \F & \T & \T \\ \F & \T & \F & \T & \F & \F & \T & \T & \F \\ \F & \T & \F & \F & \T & \F & \T & \T & \T \\ \hline \end{array}$

$\blacksquare$
