Consider the proposition:

Fish will thrive if and only if the water is deep and not polluted.

Translated in propositional logic as follows:

(deep∧¬polluted)↔thrive

Rewrite the proposition without→,↔and using only∨,∧and¬ as needed.

Expert Solution

Let there be any statement of the form for propositions P and Q. This statement says that P implies Q and Q implies P. Therefore an equivalent way of saying this is .

Now consider a statement of the form . If P is false, then nothing can be said about Q. But if P is true, then Q has to be true as well. Therefore either P is false or Q is true. Therefore an equivalent statement is .

The statement is . The can be replaced as
. Now replace each as:
. This is as required in the question.

The final answer is .

Deep water fish are hard to transport to the surface safely. Why do you think that is? As the water pressure decreases, there is not enough oxygen for the fish in the water As the water pressure increase, the air in the swim bladder compresses until they burst. As the water pressure decreases,the air in the swim bladder compresses until they burst. Is it this one... and explain why or why not As the water pressure decreases,the air in the...

Consider a shallow-water wave of length 1.5km propagating in an ocean that is 62.5m deep. a) Calculate the wave’s speed C and period T. (3P) b) Now suppose that this wave propagates into a region in which there is a current of strength U that opposes the wave propagation. Explain how this modifies the dispersion relation and the wave speed. (2P) c) Assuming that the wave’s frequency ω remains constant, create a plot of the wavelength λ as a function...

Consider a very deep triangular duct (deep in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper) made of diffuse gray walls. The cross section of the duct forms an equilateral triangle of sides 1.5 m each. Two surfaces of the duct namely surface 1 and surface 2 have emissivities 0.4 and 0.6 and are maintained at 1200 K and 800 K respectively, while the third surface (surface 3) is radiatively insulated (re-radiating) and has an emissivity of 0.5. For...

A rock sits at the bottom of a fish tank and the level of the water in the tank is noted. The rock is then put into an old fashioned ice cube tray (made from aluminium) and is floated on the top of the water. The level is again noted. Which of the following is true? a). The water level is the same before and after. b). The water level is higher before when rock is at the bottom of...

Fish Ventilation Most fish use gills for respiration in water and researchers can observe how fast a fish’s gill cover beats to study ventilation, much like we might observe breathing rate for a person. Professor Brad Baldwin is interested in how water chemistry might affect gill beat rates. In one experiment he randomly assigned fish to tanks with different levels of calcium. One tank was low in calcium (0.71 mg/L), the second tank had a medium amount (5.24 mg/L), and...
