Transcribed Image Text:EXERCISE 1.13.1: Proving the validity of arguments with quantified statements.
Prove that the given argument is valid. First find the form of the argument by defining predicates and expressing the hypotheses and
the conclusion using the predicates. Then use the rules of inference to prove that the form is valid.
