Write the arguments in symbols using sentence letters and truth, functional connective
Judging from the number of times this question as been asked in its entirety -- and the lack of answers -- it appears that no one here can help you.

To write arguments using symbols, we can use sentence letters to represent different propositions or statements, and logical connectives to represent functional relationships between these propositions.
Sentence letters are usually represented by capital letters, such as P, Q, or R. These letters stand for different propositions or statements that we want to analyze or evaluate.
Logical connectives are symbols used to represent functional relationships between propositions. Here are the most common logical connectives and their symbols:
1. Conjunction (AND): represented by the symbol "^" or "∧". It represents the logical operation of "and" between two propositions. For example, if P represents the proposition "It is sunny" and Q represents the proposition "It is hot," the conjunction can be written as P ^ Q, which means "It is sunny and hot."
2. Disjunction (OR): represented by the symbol "v" or "∨". It represents the logical operation of "or" between two propositions. For example, if P represents the proposition "It is sunny" and Q represents the proposition "It is raining," the disjunction can be written as P v Q, which means "It is sunny or raining."
3. Negation (NOT): represented by the symbol "~" or "¬". It represents the logical operation of negating a proposition. For example, if P represents the proposition "It is sunny," the negation can be written as ~P or ¬P, which means "It is not sunny."
4. Implication (IF-THEN): represented by the symbol "→". It represents the logical relationship between two propositions, where the first proposition implies the second. For example, if P represents the proposition "It is sunny" and Q represents the proposition "I will go to the beach," the implication can be written as P → Q, which means "If it is sunny, then I will go to the beach."
5. Biconditional (IF AND ONLY IF): represented by the symbol "↔". It represents the logical relationship between two propositions where they are true if and only if each other is true. For example, if P represents the proposition "It is sunny" and Q represents the proposition "It is hot," the biconditional can be written as P ↔ Q, which means "It is sunny if and only if it is hot."
By using these symbols and connectives, we can construct symbolic representations of arguments, allowing us to analyze and evaluate their logical structure.
