Theorem

$p \land q \dashv \vdash q \land p$


Proof 1

By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$p \land q \vdash q \land p$
Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
1 1 $p \land q$ Premise (None)
2 1 $p$ Rule of Simplification: $\land \EE_1$ 1
3 1 $q$ Rule of Simplification: $\land \EE_2$ 1
4 1 $q \land p$ Rule of Conjunction: $\land \II$ 3, 2

$\Box$

$\blacksquare$


Proof by Truth Table

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.

$\begin{array}{|ccc||ccc|} \hline p & \land & q & q & \land & p \\ \hline \F & \F & \F & \F & \F & \F \\ \F & \F & \T & \T & \F & \F \\ \T & \F & \F & \F & \F & \T \\ \T & \T & \T & \T & \T & \T \\ \hline \end{array}$

$\blacksquare$
