Question
Exercise 7: (6 POINTS) Express each of these statements using predicates with two variables andnested quantifiers. Then form the negation of the statement so that no negation is to the left ofa quantifier. Next, express the negation in simple English. (Do not simply use the phrase “It isnot the case that.”)a) Every Ashesi student has taken some math course.b) No one knows everybody.
Solution
a) The statement "Every Ashesi student has taken some math course" can be expressed using predicates with two variables and nested quantifiers as follows:
∀x(A(x) → ∃y(M(y) ∧ T(x, y)))
Where:
- A(x) is "x is an Ashesi student"
- M(y) is "y is a math course"
- T(x, y) is "x has taken y"
The negation of the statement is:
∃x(A(x) ∧ ∀y(M(y) → ¬T(x, y)))
In simple English, the negation is "There is an Ashesi student who has not taken any math course."
b) The statement "No one knows everybody" can be expressed as:
∀x(P(x) → ∃y(P(y) ∧ ¬K(x, y)))
Where:
- P(x) is "x is a person"
- K(x, y) is "x knows y"
The negation of the statement is:
∃x(P(x) ∧ ∀y(P(y) → K(x, y)))
In simple English, the negation is "There is a person who knows everybody."
