Give an example of tautology and contradiction. Show that implication and contrapositive are equivalence. [5]

--- A tautology is a compound proposition that is always true, regardless of the truth values of its component propositions. Example: $$p \lor \neg p \quad \text{("p or not p")}$$ $p$ $\neg p$ $p \lor \neg p$ -------------------------------- T F T F T T Since the last column is always T,
