Objective:
Through this activity you will be able to:
Conceptual Competencies and Mathematical Skills
Find the solution of compound propositions using
mathematical logic procedures.

1. Individual Responsibility
2. Correct use of Mathematical Notation and
Terminology

Instructions: Solve the following problems in your notebook. You have 25 minutes.
When the previously specified time is over, answers will be verified within the whole group. Also, any
questions and doubts will be answered and clarified.

I. Determine if each of the following conjunctions is true or false.

Conjunction

Is the first
proposition
true or false?
Is the second
proposition
true or false?
Is the
conjunction
true or false?
1.number 4 is even
and 2 + 3 = 7

2.Pluto is the 9th
planet in the Solar
System and Mexico
played against South
Africa in the first game
of the 2010 World Cup

3. Paris is in France
and Martians are from
Mars

4. 2
3
= 6 and 3

= 9
5. 50 *3 = 150 and
-5
2
= 25



II. Find the solution set of the following conjunctions:
1. p(x) . q(x) :
x is a number less than 10 and x is an even number less than10, xeN

2. p(x) . q(x) :

2
= + x and 0 4 > + x , xeZ


4. p(x) . q(x) :

= x and x is a multiple of 2, xeZ

5. p(x) . q(x) :
x are factors of 10 and x are factors of 5, xe{Digits}

6. p(x) . q(x) :
x are factors of 10 and x are factors of15, xe{Odd Numbers}

7. p(x) . q(x) :

9. p(x) . q(x) :
x < 10 and x > 5, xe{Prime Numbers}

10. p(x) . q(x) :
x is an even number and x is a prime number, xeN


I. Determine if each of the following disjunctions is true or false.

Disjunction Is the first
proposition
