Statement
Statement is sentences which may be true or
false, but noth both. True or false refers to the
actually of event.
In mathematics , statement is usually called
proposition.
Examples :
1. Jakarta is the capital city of the Republic of
Indonesia. (true)
2. Merapi is located in West Java. (false)
3. 2 + 3 = 6 (false)
A statement is usually written with a small
letter symbol such as p, q, r, s, and so on.


Truth Value of a Statement
A truth value is used to determine whether a
statement is true or false
The truth value of a statement can be denoted
as .
= tao, which is a Greek letter that chosen to
represent the word truth.
Examples
1. p : Human is breathing with lungs.
(p) = T ( read : the truth value of p is
true )
2. q : 12 + 3 = 5
(q) = F ( read : the truth value of q is
false )


Open Sentence
An open sentence is a sentence that still contain a
variable, hence its truth value cannot yet be
determined.
A variable is a symbol that is used to represent an
arbitrary element of a universal set.
Examples :
 2x – 3 < 9, x∈R
 x is prime number less than 20

A constant that replaces a variable which converts an
open sentence into a true statement is called an open
sentence solution.
A set that consists of all solutions is called a set of
 Negation of a Statement
A new statement that is constructed from a
previous statement such that it is true if the
previous statement is false, and it is false if
the previous statement is true.

2. Disjunction

A compound statement is called
a disjunction if two statements
p and q can be combined by
using the logical conjunction
“or”, denoted by “p ˄ q” which
is read “p or q”.
The truth value of p ˄ q is only
Examples :

3. Implication
A compound statement is called an implication if two
statements p and q are combined to form a compound
statement by using the logical conjunction “if ... then ...”
, denoted by “p => q”, which can be read :
1. If p then q,
2. p implies q,
3. q only if p,
4. p is sufficient for q,
5. q is required for p.
p is called the antecedent (hypothesis) and q is called
the consequant.
The truth value of p => q is false (F) if p is true and q
is false. And for all the other composition of p => q is

b) p : 5 > 3 ( T )
q : 5 is an even number. ( F )
p => q : If 5 > 3, then 5 is an even number.

4. Bi-implication
A compound statement is called a bi-implication if two
statements p and q are combined to form a compound
statement with a logical conjunction “... if and only if
...”, denoted by “p  q” that means “p if and only if q”,
i.e “if p then q and if q then p”. Hence p  q ≅ (p =>
q) ˄(q =>qp). p => q

Making Conclusion


•

One of the important purposes of mathematical logic is to
have knowledge regarding testing argument or making
conclusion.

•

In logic, a premise is a claim that is a reason ( or element
of a set of reason ) for, or objection against, some other claim.
In other words, it is a statement presumed true within the
context of an argument toward a conclusion.

•

In the context of ordinary argumentation, the rational
acceptability of a disputed conclusion depends on both the

Direct and Indirect Proof
1.

Direct Proof
In order to direcly prove a conditional statement of the
form ( p =>

q ), it is only necessary to consider

situations where the statement p is true to conclution q.
The common proof rules used are modus ponens,
modus tollens, and syllogism.


Example
Show that for all integer n, if n is an odd numbers, then n2 is
also an odd number !
Answer :
For example
p : n is an odd integer
q : n2 is an odd integer
It will be shown that p => q is true.
Because n is an odd number, thus n = 2k + 1, k ∊ C
Then, we have n2
= (2k + 1)2
= 4k2 + 4k + 1
= 2(2k2 + 2k) + 1
= 2m + 1
Where m = 2k2 + 2k, so n2 is an odd integer.
Thus, it is shown that p => q is true.


2.
a.

Indirect proof
Indirect Proof by Contradiction
To prove statement (p => q) is true, we can
proceed by assuming ~q is true. And show that it
leads to a logical contradiction.

Thus, according to the law of contradiction, ~q
must be true, and so, statement (p => q) is true.


Example
Show that ' If n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an
odd number ' by using indirect proof by contradiction.
Answer :
Suppose that n is an even number, that is n = 2k, k ∊ B.
Because n = 2k
Then n2 = (2k) 2 = 4k2 = 2(2k2 ) = 2m
Where m = 2k2
We get n2 is an even number, contradiction with n2 is an
odd number.
Thus, it is shown that if If n2 is an odd number, then n
will be also an odd number.
 b. Indirect Proof by Contraposition
To prove statement (p => q) is true, we can proceed
by assuming ~q is true. And show that it leads ~p is
true.
Thus ~q according to the law of contraposition ~p, is

true.
So statement (~q => ~p) is true.
 Example
Show that for all integer n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an odd
number.
Answer :
Use the indirect contraposition to prove the statement above.
Suppose that

p : n2 is an odd number
q : n is an odd number

We asssume that ~q is true, it is mean that n is an even number, n = 2k
We will get n2 = (2k2) = 4k2 = 2(2k2) = 2m, where m = 2k2
It is mean that n2 is an even number.

Thus, ~p : n2 is an even number
~q : n is an even number
Because (~q => ~p) is true and p => q ≅ (~q => ~p)
Then, p => q is true.

Thus, it is shown that if n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an odd

     Example Show that 'If n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an odd number ' by using indirect proof by contradiction. Answer : Suppose that n is an even number, that is n = 2k, k ∊ B. Because n = 2k Then n2 = (2k) 2 = 4k2 = 2(2k2 ) = 2m Where m = 2k2 We get n2 is an even number, contradiction with n2 is an odd number. Thus, it is shown that if If n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an odd number.

     b. IndirectProof by Contraposition To prove statement (p => q) is true, we can proceed by assuming ~q is true. And show that it leads ~p is true. Thus ~q according to the law of contraposition ~p, is true. So statement (~q => ~p) is true.

     Example Show thatfor all integer n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an odd number. Answer : Use the indirect contraposition to prove the statement above. Suppose that p : n2 is an odd number q : n is an odd number We asssume that ~q is true, it is mean that n is an even number, n = 2k We will get n2 = (2k2) = 4k2 = 2(2k2) = 2m, where m = 2k2 It is mean that n2 is an even number. Thus, ~p : n2 is an even number ~q : n is an even number Because (~q => ~p) is true and p => q ≅ (~q => ~p) Then, p => q is true. Thus, it is shown that if n2 is an odd number, then n will be also an odd
