Biconditional is Commutative/Formulation 1/Proof 2
Theorem
- $p \iff q \dashv \vdash q \iff p$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
| Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | $p \iff q$ | Premise | (None) | ||
| 2 | 1 | $\paren {p \implies q} \land \paren {q \implies p}$ | Sequent Introduction | 1 | Rule of Material Equivalence | |
| 3 | 1 | $\paren {q \implies p} \land \paren {p \implies q}$ | Sequent Introduction | 2 | Conjunction is Commutative | |
| 4 | 1 | $q \iff p$ | Sequent Introduction | 3 | Rule of Material Equivalence |
