r. One jumps high.
Express the statement One does not jump high symbolically.
The statement is expressed symbolically as:
A. ¬r
B. r'
C. !r
D. ~r

Answer 1

The symbolic expression for 'One does not jump high' is represented by ¬r, which is option A and is the standard symbol for negation in logical expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement One jumps high is represented by the symbol r. To express the statement One does not jump high symbolically, we negate the original statement r. In symbolic logic, the negation of a statement is typically represented by placing a negation symbol in front of the statement. Therefore, the symbolic expression for the statement One does not jump high is represented by ¬r, which corresponds to option A, and it is the conventional symbol for negation in logic.
