Question
Suppose the domain of the propositional function ๐(๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) consists of pairs ๐ฅ and ๐ฆ, where ๐ฅ is 2, or 5and ๐ฆ is 1, 2, or 3. Write out these propositions using disjunctions and conjunctions.a) โ๐ฅโ๐ฆ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) b) โ๐ฅโ๐ฆ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) c) โ๐ฅโ๐ฆ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) d) โ๐ฆโ๐ฅ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ)
Solution
a) โ๐ฅโ๐ฆ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) translates to (P(2,1) โง P(2,2) โง P(2,3)) โง (P(5,1) โง P(5,2) โง P(5,3)). This means that for all x and y, the proposition P(x, y) is true.
b) โ๐ฅโ๐ฆ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) translates to (P(2,1) โจ P(2,2) โจ P(2,3)) โจ (P(5,1) โจ P(5,2) โจ P(5,3)). This means that there exists some x and y such that the proposition P(x, y) is true.
c) โ๐ฅโ๐ฆ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) translates to (P(2,1) โง P(2,2) โง P(2,3)) โจ (P(5,1) โง P(5,2) โง P(5,3)). This means that there exists some x for all y such that the proposition P(x, y) is true.
d) โ๐ฆโ๐ฅ๐ (๐ฅ, ๐ฆ) translates to (P(2,1) โจ P(5,1)) โง (P(2,2) โจ P(5,2)) โง (P(2,3) โจ P(5,3)). This means that for all y, there exists some x such that the proposition P(x, y) is true.
