Theorem
- $p \implies q \dashv \vdash q \iff \paren {p \lor q}$
Proof
We apply the Method of Truth Tables.
As can be seen by inspection, the appropriate truth values match for all boolean interpretations.
$\begin{array}{|ccc||ccccc|} \hline p & \implies & q & q & \iff & (p & \lor & q) \\ \hline \F & \T & \F & \F & \T & \F & \F & \F \\ \F & \T & \T & \T & \T & \F & \T & \T \\ \T & \F & \F & \F & \F & \T & \T & \F \\ \T & \T & \T & \T & \T & \T & \T & \T \\ \hline \end{array}$
$\blacksquare$
