To show X |= y, show that X => y is a tautology. To show [[latex2($$X \models y$$)]], show that [[latex2($$X \Rightarrow y$$)]] is a tautology.

Therefore a tautology of the form A |= B is called a Logical Implication. Therefore a tautology of the form [[latex2($$A \models B$$)]] is called a Logical Implication.

Logical Implication

Consider

where X is some set of premises and y is the conclusion. This simply means that the conjuction of all the premises logically implies the conclusion.

To show latex2($$X \models y$$), show that latex2($$X \Rightarrow y$$) is a tautology.

Therefore a tautology of the form latex2($$A \models B$$) is called a Logical Implication.

In predicate calculus, we often times use latex2($$\vdash$$) to denote logical implication. In this case we must prove that the predicate calculus expression is valid.
