For the universe of all integers, let p(x), q(x), r(x),s(x), and t (x)be the following open statements.

p(x): x > 0

q(x):x is even

r(x):x is a perfect square

s(x): x is (exactly) divisible by 4

t(x): x is (exactly) divisible by 5

a) Write the following statements in symbolic form.

i) At least one integer is even.


ii) There exists a positive integer that is even.


iii) If x is even, then xis not divisible by 5.


iv) No even integer is divisible by 5.


v) There exists an even integer divisible by 5.


vi) If x is even and x is a perfect square, then xis divisible by 4.


b) Determine whether each of the six statements in part (a) is true or false. For each false statement, provide a counterexample.


c) Express each of the following symbolic representations in words.

i)x [r(x) → p(x)]


ii) x[s(x) → q(x)]


iii)x[s(x) → ¬t(x)]


iv)x [s(x) ˄ ¬r(x)]


d) Provide a counterexample for each false statement in part (c).
