If you pass general chemistry, then you can take organic chemistry.
You pass general chemistry.
�ˆ You can take organic chemistry.
Let P = you pass general chemistry
Let Q = you can take organic chemistry
I came up with
P - >Q
P
therefore Q
But my set up is wrong, how do I set up this problem correctly?
Would the set up be [(p-->q)^~p]-->~q
To correctly set up this problem, you can use the concept of conditional statements. Let's rephrase the statement "If you pass general chemistry, then you can take organic chemistry" as a conditional statement:
If someone passes general chemistry, then they can take organic chemistry.
Now, let's define the variables:
P: Someone passes general chemistry.
Q: Someone can take organic chemistry.
With this, the correct setup for the problem is:
P → Q
P
And you want to determine the conclusion, which is Q.
