LetP(x) be the statement "xcan speak Russian" and letQ(x) be the statement knows “xknows the computer language C++." Express each of these sentences in tem ofP(x),Q(x), quantifiers, and logical connectives. The domain for quantifiers consists of all students at your school.
a) There is a student at your school who can speak Russian and who knows C++.
b) There is a student at your school who can speak Russian but who doesn't know C++.
c) Every student at your school either can speak Russian or knows C++.
d) No student at your school can speak Russian or knows C++.

- Let C(x) denote the predicate "x is in the correct place". The translation of the statement : Something is not in the correct place. into logical expressions using predicates, quanti fiers and logical connectives is A 3xC (x) C(x) 3x-C(x) D VxC (х)arrow_forwardA conditional statement is always logically equivalent to its * O Inverse Conjunction O Contrapositive Conversearrow_forwardExercise 6| We introduce a language in which there are: - A constant me which represents the person who speaks, and a constant vegetables which represents the corresponding food; Two symbols of binary relations eat and likes: eat(p, a) represents the property "p eat a" and likes(p, a) the fact that "p likes a ". 1. Give the logical formulas that correspond to the following expressions: (a) I like everything I eat. (b) There are things that I do not like but that I eat anyway. (c) Those who do not like vegetables eat nothing. (d) If everyone agrees to eat something he does not like then I eat vegetables.arrow_forward
- Express the statements using quantifiers. Then form the negation of the statement so that no negation is to the left of a quantifier. Next, express the negation in simple English. "There exists a cat that can swim". Translate these statements into English, where D(x) is "x is a rabbit"and B(x) is "x barks" and the domain consists of all animals. ∀×(D(x) → B(x)) and catch fish."arrow_forwardLet Pi, P, and P3 be statements such that Pi A P2, P2 A P3, P1 ^ P3 are all FALSE. Decide which of the statements below are TRUE. Justify your answers. (a) no two of P1, P2, P3 can be true; (b) at least one of P1, P2, P3 must be true; (c) all of P1, P2, P3 must be false; (d) at least one of P1, P2, P3 must be false.arrow_forwardRewrite each of the following so that the negation operator appears only within the predicates (for example, no negation is outside a quantifier or an expression involving logical connectives). Explain your results. ¬∀x∃y(P(x,y) ∧ Q(x,y)) ¬∃y(∃xR(x,y) ∨ ∀xS(x,y))arrow_forward
- - Let T(s) denote s is a technologies major, C(s) denote s is a computer science student and E(s) denote s is an engineering student. If the domain set of all students in CityU rewrite the following statements by using quantifiers, variables, and predicates T(s), C(s), and E(s).(i) Every computer science student is an engineering student.(ii) Some computer science students are also technology majors.arrow_forwardJust B pleasearrow_forwardI need Ans ASAP I vll upvote for correct solutionarrow_forward
- Paraphrase the following into quantificational notation: (a) If any student taking Logic cheats, then every student taking Logic will be unhappy. (b) If any student taking Logic cheats, then he or she will be unhappy. (c) Logic students are either clever or happy. (d) If anything is both gaseous and liquid, then it is a plasma. (e) No plasma is a liquid unless some plasma is a gas.arrow_forwardIs 8-8=0 a universal or existential quantifier.arrow_forwardThis rule of logic is true when both of its conjuncts are true, and false otherwise. Which law of logic is this?arrow_forward
