Theorem

$p \implies \paren {q \land r} \dashv \vdash \paren {p \implies q} \land \paren {p \implies r}$


Proof

Proof of Forward Implication

By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$p \implies \paren {q \land r} \vdash \paren {p \implies q} \land \paren {p \implies r} $
Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
1 1 $p \implies \paren {q \land r}$ Premise (None)
2 2 $p$ Assumption (None)
3 1, 2 $q \land r$ Modus Ponendo Ponens: $\implies \mathcal E$ 1, 2
4 1, 2 $q$ Rule of Simplification: $\land \EE_1$ 3
5 1, 2 $r$ Rule of Simplification: $\land \EE_2$ 3
6 1 $p \implies q$ Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ 2 – 4 Assumption 2 has been discharged
7 1 $p \implies r$ Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ 2 – 5 Assumption 2 has been discharged
8 1 $\paren {p \implies q} \land \paren {p \implies r}$ Rule of Conjunction: $\land \II$ 6, 7

$\blacksquare$

3 3 $p$ Assumption (None)
4 3 $p \land p$ Sequent Introduction 3 Rule of Idempotence: Conjunction
5 1, 3 $q \land r$ Modus Ponendo Ponens: $\implies \mathcal E$ 2, 4
6 1 $p \implies \paren {q \land r}$ Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ 3 – 5 Assumption 3 has been discharged
