In logic, the statement -p represents: a. Not p b. p is false c. Both p and q d. p is true

Understand the Problem

The question is asking what the logical negation of 'p' represented by the symbol '-p' means. It provides multiple-choice options to select the correct interpretation of this logical statement.

More Information

In logic, the negation of a statement 'p' is commonly expressed as '-p' or '¬p', indicating the opposite of the original statement.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse '-p' with the statement 'p is false'. '-p' simply means the opposite of whatever 'p' states.
