Define the necessary symbols, rewrite the arguments in symbolic form, and then prove.
If you will study hard, then you will pass the examination. Moreover, if you pass
all the requirements, then you will graduate. Hence, if you study hard and pass all the
requirements, then you will both pass the examination and graduate.

we assume the negation of the conclusion we want, to prove. If this assumption leads to a
