3. Let F = ¬(¬p∧¬q ∧¬r)∧(¬p∨q ∨r) and G = q ∨r. Say which one of


the following properties hold: F |= G, G |= F, F ≡ G, F ∧ ¬G is a
tautology, F ∧ ¬G is a contradiction, ¬F ∨ G is a tautology, ¬F ∨ G is
a contradiction.
4. Is the following statement true? (provide a justification for your
answer). If F → G is satisfiable and F is satisfiable, then G is
satisfiable.
