Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $p \implies q$ | Premise | (None) | ||
2 | 2 | $q \implies r$ | Premise | (None) | ||
3 | 3 | $p$ | Premise | (None) | ||
4 | 1, 2 | $p \implies r$ | Sequent Introduction | 1, 2 | Hypothetical Syllogism: Formulation 1 | |
5 | 1, 2, 3 | $r$ | Modus Ponendo Ponens: $\implies \mathcal E$ | 4, 3 |
