Question

 If we deÖne the following statements:
P (x) : x = -3
Q (x) : x^2 - 9=0

then translate the following statements into formal logic notation, and then determine the truth value
for each statement

(a) If x² - 9 = 0, then x = -3.
(b) If x² - 90, then x = -3.
(c) There exists x such that x² - 9 = 0 and x −3.
Transcribed Image Text:(a) If x² - 9 = 0, then x = -3. (b) If x² - 90, then x = -3. (c) There exists x such that x² - 9 = 0 and x −3.
