Predicates P and Q are defined below. The domain of discourse is the set of all positive integers. P(x): x is prime Q(x): x is a perfect square (i.e., x = y2, for some integer y) Indicate whether each logical expression is a proposition. If the expression is a proposition, then give its truth value. (c) ∀x Q(x) ∨ P(3) (d) ∃x (Q(x) ∧ P(x)) (e) ∀x (¬Q(x) ∨ P(x))
Let the predicates P,T, and E be defined below. The domain is the set of all positive integers. P(x): x is odd T(x, y): 2x < y E(x, y, z): xy - z Indicate whether each logical expression is a proposition. If the expression is a proposition, then give its true value and show your work. If the expression is not a proposition, explain why no. 1(a) P(5) 1(b) ¬P(x) 1(c) T(5, 32) 1(d) ¬P(3) V ¬T(5, 32) 1(e) T(5,10)...
Answer the following questions in the space provided below. 1. For each proposition below, first determine its truth value, then negate the proposition and simplify (using DeMorgan's laws) to eliminate all – symbols. All variables are from the domain of integers. (a) 3x, 22 <2. (b) Vx, ((:22 = 0) + (x = 0)). (e) 3xWy((x > 0) (y > 0 + x Sy)). 2. Consider the predicates defined below. Take the domain to be the positive integers. P(x): x...
true and false propositions with quantifiers. Answer the following questions in the space provided below. 1. For each proposition below, first determine its truth value, then negate the proposition and simplify (using De Morgan's laws) to eliminate all – symbols. All variables are from the domain of integers. (a) 3.0, x2 <. (b) Vr, ((x2 = 0) + (0 = 0)). (c) 3. Vy (2 > 0) (y >0 <y)). 2. Consider the predicates defined below. Take the domain to...
9. Prove that the following kogical expressions aro logically equivalent by applying the law of logic 10. Give a logical expression with variables p, q, and r that's true only if p and q are false and r is true. 11. Predicates P and Q are defined below. The domain of discourse is the set of all positive integers. P(x): x is prime Qlx): x is a perfect square Are the following logical expressions propositions? If the answer is yes,...
In the following question, the domain of discourse is a set of employees who work at a company. Ingrid is one of the employees at the company. Define the following predicates: • S(x): x was sick yesterday • W(x): x went to work yesterday • V(x): x was on vacation yesterday Translate the following English statements into a logical expression with the same meaning. (c) Everyone who was sick yesterday did not go to work. (d) Yesterday someone was sick...
1. Formalize the following argument by using the given predicates and then rewriting the argument as a numbered sequence of statements. Identify each statement as either a premise, or a conclusion that follows according to a rule of inference from previous statements. In that case, state the rule of inference and refer by number to the previous statements that the rule of inference used.Lions hunt antelopes. Ramses is a lion. Ramses does not hunt Sylvester. Therefore, Sylvester is not an...
Q3: Let p(x) be “ is perfect” Q(X) and be X “ is your friend” and domain be all people. Translate each of these statements into logical expression using predicates, quantifiers, and logical connectives [2Marks, CLO2.1] (a) All your friends are perfect. -> (b) Not everyone is perfect. ->
5. Suppose P(m,n) means “m>n”, where the universe of discourse for m and n is the set of POSITIVE integers. Find the truth value of each statement and explain your answer. NOTE: This is NOT exactly the same as the practice test. (a) (2 points) VxP(x,5) (b) (2 points) Vx3yP(x,y) (c) (2 points) ExWyP(x,y)
2. In this problem, the domain of discourse is the set of positive integers: {1, 2, 3, ...}. Which statements are true? If an existential statement is true, give an example. If a universal statement is false, give a counterexample. (a) ∀x(x 2 − 1 > 0) (b) ∀x(x 2 − x > 0) (c) ∃x(x 3 = 8) (d) ∃x(x + 1 = 0)
