If it is springtime, you will plant flowers in the garden. If you plant flowers in the garden, your yard will smell good. What conclusion can you make from the statements above?

Respuesta :

1. Consider the following propositions:

    p: it is springtime
    q:you will plant flowers in the garden
    r:your yard will smell good

2. (p⇒q)∧(q⇒r) ≡ p⇒r

     which means the two propositions above are logically equivalent, so our conclusion is : If it is springtime, the yard will smell good.

3. Compare the problem to this famous example: Socrates is human, humans are mortal, so Socrates is mortal.
