Then determine which rules of logic have been applied and explain whether or not they have been ap- plied correctly. If you don’t do the homework, you won’t pass the final. Curly did not do the homework. Therefore Curly did not pass the final. If you do the homework you will pass the final. If you pass the fi- nal you will pass the course. Larry did the homework. Therefore Larry will pass the course. Curly, Moe and Larry are stooges. Curly did his homework. Therefore a stooge did his homework.arrow_forward

- PLEASE TYPE Exercise 1.7.10: Determining whether a quantified logical statement is true, part 2. A student club holds a meeting. The predicate M(x) denotes whether person x came to the meeting on time. The predicate O(x) refers to whether person x is an officer of the club. The predicate D(x) indicates whether person x has paid his or her club dues. The domain is the set of all members of the club. The names of the members and their truth values for each of the predicates is given in the following table. Indicate whether each expression is true or false. If a universal statement is not true, give a counterexample. If an existential statement is true, give an example. Name M(x) O(x) D(x) Hillary T F T Bernie F T F Donald F T F Jeb F T T Carly F T F (i) ∃x (O(x) → M(x)) (j) ∃x (M(x) ∧ O(x) ∧ D(x))arrow_forwardUsing the predicate symbols shown and the appropriate quantifiers, write each English language statement as a predicate wff.
