- 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_forward3. Let S(x) be the statement "x studied for the exam" and H(x, y) be the statement "x scored higher than y in the exam," where the domain of x and y consists of all students in this class. Which logical expression corresponds to the following statement? "Every student in this class who studied for the exam scored higher in the exam than every student who did not study for the exam." a. VxVy (H (x, y) → (S(x) ^ ¬S(y))) b. VxVy(S(x)^¬S(y) ^ H (x, y)) c. VxVy((S(x) ^ ¬S(y)) → H (x, y)) d. VxVy((S(x) → ¬S(y)) → H (x, y))arrow_forward
