Non-Equivalence as Conjunction of Disjunction with Disjunction of Negations

Theorem

$\neg \paren {p \iff q} \dashv \vdash \paren {p \lor q} \land \paren {\neg p \lor \neg q}$

Proof 1

By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$\neg \paren {p \iff q} \vdash \paren {p \lor q} \land \paren {\neg p \lor \neg q}$

Proof 2

We apply the Method of Truth Tables.

As can be seen by inspection, the truth values under the main connectives match for all boolean interpretations.

$\begin{array}{|cccc||ccccccccc|} \hline \neg & (p & \iff & q) & (p & \lor & q) & \land & (\neg & p & \lor & \neg & q) \\ \hline F & F & T & F & F & F & F & F & T & F & T & T & F \\ T & F & F & T & F & T & T & T & T & F & T & F & T \\ T & T & F & F & T & T & F & T & F & T & T & T & F \\ F & T & T & T & T & T & T & F & F & T & F & F & T \\ \hline \end{array}$
