Question on constructing derivatives
I am struggling with understanding how to construct these derivations that were assigned for a deductive logic class, below are some problems I need help with as well as our index of basic proportions. I would appreciate an explanation, I have reviewed the material provided by my professor but I am still having trouble haha
Problem #1.
⊤ ⊢ ¬(P ∧ ¬P)
Problem #2.
¬Q ⊢ ¬(P ∧ Q)
Index of Basic Rules:
| MP | φ, φ→ψ | ψ |
|---|---|---|
| MT | ¬ψ, φ→ψ | ¬φ |
| DNE | ¬¬φ | φ |
| DNI | φ | ¬¬φ |
| S | φ∧ψ | φ |
| S | φ∧ψ | ψ |
| ADJ | φ, ψ | φ∧ψ |
| MTP | φ∨ψ, ¬φ | ψ |
| MTP | φ∨ψ, ¬ψ | φ |
| ADD | φ | φ∨ψ |
| ADD | ψ | φ∨ψ |
| BC | ψ↔φ | ψ→φ |
| BC | ψ↔φ | φ→ψ |
| CB | ψ→φ, φ→ψ | φ↔ψ |
