Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
$(R\ \&\ S)\ v\ P$
$P\ \rightarrow\ Q$
$T\ v\ (R\ \&\ S)\ \rightarrow\ W ]$
$S\ \&\ \sim\ T$
$[S\ \&\ (W\ v\ Q)]\ v\ \sim\  P$

Answer

$(1)\ (R\ \&\ S)$ $P$
$(2)\ P\ \rightarrow\ Q$ $P$
$(3)\ T\ v\ [(R\ \&\ S)\  \rightarrow\ W$ $P$
$(4)\ \sim\ T$ $P/ [S\ \&\ (W\ v\ Q)]\ v\ \sim\  P$
$(5)\ \sim\ T$ $4,$ Simp.
$(6)\ (R\ \&\ S)\  \rightarrow \ W$ $3, 5, DS$
$(7)\ W\ v\ Q$ $6, 2, 1, CD$
$(8)\ S$ $4,$ Simp.
$(9)\ S\ \&\ (W\ v\ Q)$ $8, 7,$ Conj.
$(10)\ [S\ \&\ (W\ v\ Q)\ v\ \sim\  P$ $9,$ Add.
