bound variable
bound to a quantifier.
the variable x in P(x) is bound
In the statement (∀x P(x)) the variable x in Q(x) is free.
∧ Q(x), this statement is not a proposition cause of the free
variable.

In order to use a truth table to establish the validity of
an argument, a truth table is constructed for all the
hypotheses and the conclusion.
A valid argument is a guarantee that the conclusion is
true whenever all of the hypotheses are true.
using a truth table to If when the hypotheses are true, the conclusion is not,
establish the validity of an then it is invalid.
argument
the argument works if every time the hypotheses
(anything above the line) are true, the conclusion is
also true.
hypotheses dont always all need to be true, see
example. but every time all the hypotheses are true,
the conclusion needs to be true as well.
rules of inference. see pic.
theorem any statement that you can prove
A proof consists of a series of steps, each of which
follows logically from assumptions, or from previously

proven statements, whose final step should result in
the statement of the theorem being proven.
