1. Construct a truth table for "P does not imply Q". 2. Let P, Q be logical statements. Reformulate the statement "P does not imply Q" using only conjunction and negation. 3. Let P(x), Q(x) be logical statements with a real parameter x. Reformulate the statement "For every x ∈ ℝ, P(x) does not imply Q(x)" using only quantifiers, conjunction, and negation. 4. There are two different ways to put parentheses in the expression P ⇒ Q ⇒ R. Are they equivalent? If yes, construct truth tables. If not, explain why not. 5. P ⇒ Q ⇒ R can also be read as "(P ⇒ Q) and (Q ⇒ R)". Is this equivalent to any of the other two interpretations? 6. Let P(x), Q(x) be logical statements with a parameter x ∈ S. Is "∀x ∈ S, P(x) and Q(x)" the same as "(∀x ∈ S, P(x)) and (∀x ∈ S, Q(x))"? What about "∀x ∈ S, P(x) or Q(x)" versus "(∀x ∈ S, P(x)) or (∀x ∈ S, Q(x))"? Here S is an arbitrary scope. You may consider the case S = {0, 1} if you find this case easier. 7. Let an be a sequence of real numbers, and let a be a real number. The following is the definition of convergence of an to a. For any real number ε > 0, there exists a natural number N such that for any natural number n > N we have |an - a| < ε. Write the negation of this, i.e. the definition of non-convergence of an to a. Your definition should only use positive statements, which means that you cannot use "not". 8. What does the statement ∀x, y ∈ ℝ, x < y ⇒ (∃z ∈ ℝ s.t. x < z < y) mean?

Determine whether each pair of statements is logically equivalent. 1. p v (q ^ r) and (p v q) ^ (p v r) 2. ~(~p -> q) and p -> ~q 3. ~(p ^ q) and (~p) v (~q) Write the negation of the given statement in its equivalent conjunctive form. "If x is an odd integer, then x^2 is an odd integer."
