~q ^ p
To write the statement "The bonfire is not burning, however the tent is pitched" in symbolic form, we can use logical connectives to represent the conditions.
Let's assign the following variables:
p: The tent is pitched
q: The bonfire is burning
The statement can be broken down into two separate conditions:
Condition 1: The bonfire is not burning. This can be represented by the negation (~) of q, which means "not q".
Condition 2: The tent is pitched. This can be represented by variable p.
Combining both conditions, we have:
~q ∧ p
Therefore, the symbolic form of the statement is ~q ∧ p.
