3. Find the truth value and truth sets of the following statements. (a) " \( \forall x \in \mathbb{Z}, x^{2} \geq 0 \)." (b) " \( \forall x \in \mathbb{Z}, x^{2}-9=0 \)." (c) " \( \exists x \in \mathbb{Z}: x^{2}=3 \)."

Step 1
- \( \mathbb{Z} \) denotes the set of all integers. - \( \forall x \in \mathbb{Z} \) means "for all \( x \) in the set of integers." - \( \exists x \in \mathbb{Z} \) means "there exists an \( x \) in the set of integers." Show moreβ¦
