Question:
Use conditional proof or indirect proof and the eighteen rules of inference to establish the truth of the following tautologies.
1. P ⊃ [(P ⊃ Q) ⊃ Q]
2. (∼P ⊃ Q) ∨ (P ⊃ R)
3. P ≡ [P ∨ (Q ⊃ P)]
4. (P ⊃ Q) ⊃ [(P ∙ R) ⊃ (Q ∙ R)]
5. (P ∨ ∼ Q) ⊃ [(∼P ∨ R) ⊃ (Q ⊃ R)]
6. P ≡ [P ∙ (Q ∨ ∼ Q)]
7. (P ⊃ Q) ∨ (∼Q ⊃ P)
8. (P ⊃ Q) ≡ [P ⊃ (P ∙ Q)]
9. [(P ⊃ Q) ∙ (P ⊃ R)] ⊃ [P ⊃ (Q ∙ R)]
10. [∼(P ∙ ∼ Q) ∙ ∼ Q] ⊃ ∼ P
