... Now, let T = < W, R > be an arbitrarily fixed tree with a set of nodes W = {x1 , . . . , xn }. We attach to these nodes different propositional variables q(x1 ), . . . , q(xn ) or for V short q1 , . . . , qn . This set will be referred as var(T ). Denote χ(xi ) = qi ∧ {¬qj : qj ∈ var(T ), j 6= i}. N ...

... Solution: Construct the truth table for the proposition. Then an equivalent proposition is the disjunction with n disjuncts (where n is the number of rows for which the formula evaluates to T). Each disjunct has m conjuncts where m is the number of distinct propositional variables. Each conjunct inc ...

Inquiry

An inquiry is any process that has the aim of augmenting knowledge, resolving doubt, or solving a problem. A theory of inquiry is an account of the various types of inquiry and a treatment of the ways that each type of inquiry achieves its aim.
