Question

complete the truth table for the compound statement: \\(a \lor (b \land c)\\).

you will probably want to complete the intermediate columns on your own paper and then enter the final answer in the truth table.

\\(\

$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \\hline a & b & c & a \\lor (b \\land c) \\\\ \\hline t & t & t & ? \\\\ \\hline t & t & f & ? \\\\ \\hline t & f & t & ? \\\\ \\hline t & f & f & ? \\\\ \\hline f & t & t & ? \\\\ \\hline f & t & f & ? \\\\ \\hline f & f & t & ? \\\\ \\hline f & f & f & ? \\\\ \\hline \\end{array}$$
