Theorem
- $p \vdash p \land \left({p \lor q}\right)$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
| Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | $p$ | Premise | (None) | ||
| 2 | 1 | $p \lor q$ | Rule of Addition: $\lor \mathcal I_1$ | 1 | ||
| 3 | 1 | $p \land \left({p \lor q}\right)$ | Rule of Conjunction: $\land \mathcal I$ | 1, 2 |
$\blacksquare$
