Step by step solution

01

Given

The Given that Q(x) denoted as x+1>2x and the domain of the variable consists of all integers.

The Concept that used the value of the propositional function P at x is said to be a statement P(x). Once a value has been assigned to variable x and a truth value has been determined, the statement P(x) becomes propositional.

02

The Truth value of Q(0)

a) The Universal Quantifier:xP(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier: xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given thatdomain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1>2x

Q(0)=0+1>2.0

1>0

Thus, Q(0) is True

As a result, Q(0) is true for the Statement x+1>2x.

03

The Truth value of  Q(-1)

a) The Universal Quantifier: xP(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier:xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given that domain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1>2x

Q(-1) = (-1) +1>2(-1)

0>-2

Thus, Q(-1) is True

As a result, Q(-1) is true for the Statement x+1>2x.

04

The Truth value of  Q(1)

a) The Universal Quantifier: xP(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier: xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given that domain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1>2x

Q(1)=(1) + 1>2.(1)

2>2

Thus, Q(1) is False as 2=2

As a result, Q(1) is False for the Statement x+1>2x.

05

The Truth value of ∃xQ(x)

a) The Universal Quantifier: xP(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier: xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given that domain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1 > 2x

We have xQ(x), the statement isx(x+1>2x)

This is existential quantifier, i.e. there exists at least one element for which the statement is true

We have x+1>2x

For x=0

LHS=0+1=1

RHS=2.0=0

1>0

Thus, the statement is true as it satisfies existential quantification.

As a result, xQ(x) is True for the Statement x+1>2x .

06

The Truth value of ∀xQ(x)

a) The Universal Quantifier: xP(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier: xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given that domain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1>2x

We have xP(x), the statement isrole="math" localid="1668520032217" xP(x+1>2x)

This is universal quantifier, i.e. the statement is true for all values in domain

We have x+1>2x

For x=1

LHS=1+1=2

RHS=2.1=2

2=2

Thus,The statement is False as it does not satisfy universal quantification.

As a result, xQ(x) is true for the Statement x+1>2x.

07

The Truth value of ∃x¬Q(x)

a) The Universal Quantifier: xP(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier: xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given that domain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1 >2x

We have x¬Q(x),the statement isx¬Q(x+1>2x)

This is existential quantifier, i.e. there exists at least one element for which the statement is true

We have x+1>2x

For x=1

LHS=1+1=2

RHS=2.1=2

2=2

Hence, x+1 >2x

Thus, the statement is True as it satisfies existential quantification.

As a result, x¬Q(x) is True for the Statement x+1 >2x.

08

The Truth value of ∀x¬Q(x)

a) The Universal Quantifier: xp(x)–The statement is true for at least one element in the domain.

b) The Existential Quantifier: xP(x)– The statement holds true for all of the domain’s values.

Given that domain of the variable is all integers

Also, The statement is x+1>2x

We have x¬Q(x),the statement isx¬Q(x+1>2x)

This is existential quantifier, i.e. there exists at least one element for which the statement is true

We have x+1>2x

For x=0

LHS=1+0=1

RHS=2.0=0

1>0'
Thus, the statement is False as it does not satisfy universal quantification.

As a result, x¬Q(x) is True for the Statement x+1>2x.

A says “We are both knaves” and B says nothing. Exercises 24–31 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by Sullying [Sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. You encounter three people, A, B, and C. You know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. Each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. For each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, knight, and spy are. When there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions

A says “I am not the spy,” B says “I am not the spy,” and C says “A is the spy.”

Suppose that Prolog facts are used to define the predicates mother(M,Y)and father(F,X)which represent that Mis the mother of Yand Fis the father of X, respectively. Give a Prolog rule to define the predicate grandfather (X,Y),which represents that Xis the grandfather of Y. [Hint: You can write a disjunction in Prolog either by using a semicolon to separate predicates or by putting these predicates on separate lines.]

How many rows appear in a truth table for each of these compound propositions?

a)\(p \to \neg p\)

b)(p¬r)(q¬s)

c)qp¬s¬r¬tu

d) \((p \wedge r \wedge t) \leftrightarrow (q \wedge t)\)

Let p, q, and r be the propositions

p : Grizzly bears have been seen in the area.

q : Hiking is safe on the trail.

r : Berries are ripe along the trail.

Write these propositions using p, q, and r and logical connectives (including negations).

a)Berries are ripe along the trail, but grizzly bears have not been seen in the area.
b) Grizzly bears have not been seen in the area and hiking on the trail is safe, but berries are ripe along the trail.
c) If berries are ripe along the trail, hiking is safe if and only if grizzly bears have not been seen in the area.
d) It is not safe to hike on the trail, but grizzly bears have not been seen in the area and the berries along the trail are ripe.
e) For hiking on the trail to be safe, it is necessary but not sufficient that berries not be ripe along the trail and for grizzly bears not to have been seen in the area.
f ) Hiking is not safe on the trail whenever grizzly bears have been seen in the area and berries are ripe along the trail.

Find a compound proposition involving the propositional variables, p,qand r that is true when exactly two of, p,qand r are true and is false otherwise. [Hint: Form a disjunction of conjunctions. Include a conjunction for each combination of values for which the compound proposition is true. Each conjunction should include each of the three propositional variables or its negations.]
