Question
Exercise 2: (3 POINTS) Suppose the domain of the propositional function ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) consists ofpairs ๐ฅ and ๐ฆ, where ๐ฅ is โ1, 0 or 1 and ๐ฆ is 0 or 2. Write out the propositions usingdisjunctions and conjunctions:a) ยฌโ๐ฅ๐(๐ฅ, 2) (1 POINT)b) โ๐ฆโ๐ฅ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ)
Solution
a) ยฌโ๐ฅ๐(๐ฅ, 2) translates to "It is not the case that for all x, P(x, 2) is true." In terms of disjunctions and conjunctions, this can be written as:
ยฌP(-1, 2) โจ ยฌP(0, 2) โจ ยฌP(1, 2)
This means that at least one of the propositions P(-1, 2), P(0, 2), or P(1, 2) is not true.
b) โ๐ฆโ๐ฅ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) translates to "For all y, there exists an x such that P(x, y) is true." In terms of disjunctions and conjunctions, this can be written as:
(P(-1, 0) โจ P(0, 0) โจ P(1, 0)) โง (P(-1, 2) โจ P(0, 2) โจ P(1, 2))
This means that for each y (0 and 2), there is at least one x (-1, 0, or 1) that makes the proposition P(x, y) true.
