quantifiers

Express the negation of 3xVy(P(x, y) V Q(y)) so that the negation symbols immediately precede the predicates. Show the work of the derivation and state what rules are used.

ASSIGNMENT Problem 3. (12 points) (a) Distribute the quantifiers for the statement 3x (P(x)V -.Q(x)) so that all the quantifiers occur immediately before the predicates or the negation symbol. If distribution is not possible, briefly explain why. (b) Determine whether the two statements 3x(P(x) —> Q(x)) and 3xP(x) 3rQ(x) are equivalent. Explain. Problem 4. (10 […]
