Question
Computer Science
Consider each of the following four sentences and say whether they would typically be used to make a statement or not to make a statement:
Where is it?
There it is!
Watch out!
It's coming toward us too fast!
If the if-part of a conditional claim is true, and if the conditional claim itself is true, will the then-part have to be true? (draw and use the truth table for the conditional in your answer)

- 2. For the following wffs, indicate which variables are free and which are bound (you can use 'F' for free and 'B' for bound.) Either (i) draw a vertical line underneath each variable with the letters 'F' or 'B' at the bottom of each vertical line or (ii) color the bound variables red and the free variables green. Make sure you know which symbols are variables. Not every symbol in the language of predicate logic is a variable. The reading (Scope, binding, and quantifier expansions) lists the symbols that are variables and the symbols that are names of objects (i.e., individual constants). Names of objects are not variables. You can also write the wffs on a piece of paper and submit a photo of it. (a) (Ex) (y) (z) ((Ayz --> Bzzy) v (Fxac --> Hzzu)) (b) (х) (у) Нууу --> (2) (Fzy v Hxх) (c) (Ez) (x) (у) (Ахyzbbw v Bxуcdvz)arrow_forwardFor the following statement, write down a logically equivalent statement which containsno operators other than ¬ and ∨:? ∧ (? → ?)arrow_forwardwhat inference can you draw from the given statement and set up the statement as a proposition? A) The dog has a shiny coat or loves to bark. The dog does not have a shiny coat. B) Paul is a good swimmer or Paul is a good swimmer and runner.arrow_forward
- Consider the following propositions: F is the proposition "You are a fish." S is the proposition "You like to swim." W is the proposition "You drink water." H is the proposition "You are human." Write the following propositions symbolically using the above variables: (a) If you are human then you like to swim. (b) If you like to swim then you are a fish. 1 (c) If you do not like to swim then you do not drink water. (d) If you are a human then either you are a fish or you drink water. (e) You are a fish, you do not drink water, and you like to swim.arrow_forwardTranslate the following English statements to propositions. 1 It is sunny. 2 I answered the assignment, but I did not submit it. 3 | will remember to send you my address only if you send me an email message. 4 Either I go to school or I go to the mall. 5 I will eat breakfast or I will walk to school, or both.arrow_forwardFrom the given sentence, write the Conditional Statement using the words 'if-then', Converse, Inverse and Contrapositive. “She knows how to receive the ball, if she is allowed to join the volleyball team.”arrow_forward
- For each of the following statements about languages (i.e. sets of words), state whether they are true or falsearrow_forwardSuppose P, Q, R, S, C are five natural language statements that form an argument with premises P, Q, R, S and conclusion C. Suppose also that the argument is valid. Which of the following would not on its own be an explanation for why the argument is valid? R couldn't be true. P, Q, and S are jointly impossible. Necessarily, if P and R are true, so is C. C couldn't be false. P, Q, R, and C are jointly impossible.arrow_forwardI will thumbs up if you answer all. please convert FOL to CNF Convert each of the following English statements into a single first-order logic sentence using the following constants and predicates. •Constants: Apples, Oranges, Chess, Go, John, Mary. •Predicates: oLikes(x,y): person x likes food y oPlays(x,y): person x plays game y a.If a personlikesApples, then they play chess. b.If a person likesOranges, then they play Go. c.A person likesApples or Oranges, but not both. d.John likes apples. e.Mary does not like anything that John likes. and then: Convert each of the first-order logic sentences in Problem 2to conjunctive normal form (CNF). There is no need to show intermediate steps. Assign each clause number: C1, C2, etc.arrow_forward
- For each of the following statements, determine whether they are true or false. If false, write their logical negation (distributing the ¬ across any expressions as necessary) and explain how this negation is true. In each of these, x and y are assumed to be integers. (a) (∀x)(∀y)((y > x) ⇒ (x = 0)) (b) (∃x)(∀y)((y > x) ⇒ (x = 0)) (c) (∀x)(∃y)((y > x) ⇒ (x = 0)) (d) (∀x)(((∀y)(y > x)) ⇒ (x = 0))arrow_forwardFind a proposition with three variables p,q and r that is true when p and q are true, and r is false, and false otherwise.
