first defining p and q.
a. If you study, then you will succeed.
b. If x > 0, then x2 > 0.
c. Kayleigh can go to the movies if Kayleigh does her
homework.
d. If x is odd and y is odd, then xy is odd.
e. If x is odd and y is odd, then x+y is odd.
f. If sets A and B are disjoint, then | A B | = | + | B | .
