Solution

a) The statement "Caroline is not taking any course" can be written as ยฌT(Caroline, y) for all y. b) The statement "No student is taking every course" can be written as ยฌ(โˆ€y T(x, y)) for all x.

a) The statement "โˆƒ๐‘ฆโˆ€๐‘ฅ[๐ด(๐‘ฅ) โ†’ ๐‘‡(๐‘ฅ, ๐‘ฆ)]" translates to "There exists a course such that every part-time student is taking it." b) The statement "โˆ€๐‘ฅโˆƒ๐‘ฆ[(๐ต(๐‘ฅ) โˆง ๐น(๐‘ฅ)) โ†’ (๐‘€(๐‘ฆ) โˆง ๐‘‡(๐‘ฅ, ๐‘ฆ))]" translates to "Every full-time freshman student is taking at least one math course."
