A à B can be represented like B if A.
The third option seems the most appropriate as ~Q is on the right-hand side.

Identify the correct translation into logical notation of the followi...
Translation of the assertion into logical notation:
The given assertion can be broken down into two parts:
1. If you are under 4 feet tall and older than 16 years old, then you can ride the roller coaster.
2. If you are under 4 feet tall and not older than 16 years old, then you cannot ride the roller coaster.
Let's translate these two parts into logical notation using the given propositions:
q = "You can ride the roller coaster"
r = "You are under 4 feet tall"
s = "You are older than 16 years old"
Translation of the first part:
"If you are under 4 feet tall and older than 16 years old, then you can ride the roller coaster."
This can be written as: (r ∧ s) → q
Translation of the second part:
"If you are under 4 feet tall and not older than 16 years old, then you cannot ride the roller coaster."
This can be written as: (r ∧ ¬s) → ¬q
Combining the translations:
From the two parts, we can combine the translations using logical OR (represented by ∨) because either of the conditions can result in the same conclusion. The correct translation of the given assertion is:
(q → ((r ∧ s) ∨ (r ∧ ¬s)))
Explanation:
The correct translation (c) represents the given assertion accurately. It states that if you can ride the roller coaster (q), then either you are under 4 feet tall and older than 16 years old (r ∧ s), or you are under 4 feet tall and not older than 16 years old (r ∧ ¬s).
This translation captures the condition that you cannot ride the roller coaster if you are under 4 feet tall unless you are older than 16 years old. It covers both parts of the assertion and represents the logical relationship between the propositions correctly.
