3.7.5. Let $P(x)$ be the assertion "$x$ is positive", and let $Q(x)$ the assertion "$x^2 > x$". (a) Is the statement $(forall x in mathbb{R}) [P(x) implies Q(x)]$ true or false? Why? (b) Is the statement $[(forall x in mathbb{R})P(x)] implies [(forall x in mathbb{R})Q(x)]$ true or false? Why?

Step 1
- \( P(x) \) is the assertion "x is positive", which means \( x > 0 \). - \( Q(x) \) is the assertion "\( x^2 > x \)", which simplifies to \( x(x - 1) > 0 \). This inequality holds for \( x < 0 \) or \( x > 1 \). Show more…
