B. Let P(x) be the propositional function which means "x is an odd number greater than 4 but less than or equal to 20" and Q(x) be the propositional function that means "x is divisible by 3". Determine the truth value of: . P(3) ? Q(3) . P(9) ? Q(9) .

Step 1
For x = 3: P(3) means "3 is an odd number greater than 0 but less than or equal to 20". This statement is true. Q(3) means "3 is divisible by 3". This statement is also true. For x = 9: P(9) means "9 is an odd number greater than 0 but less than or equal to 20". Show more…

Write the following using p, q and logical connectives. Also, determine its truth value. a. If 1 + 2 ≠3, the 3 is odd. b. 1 + 1 = 2 if and only if 3 is odd. c. 1 + 2 = 3 and 3 is even.

(a) Use a truth table to prove that if $p$ and $q$ are propositions, at least one of $p \rightarrow q$ or $q \rightarrow p$ is true. (b) Let $I(x)$ be the propositional function " $x$ is an integer" and let $P(x)$ be the propositional function " $x$ is a positive number." The domain of discourse is $\mathbf{R}$. Determine whether or not the following proof that all integers are positive or all positive real numbers are integers is correct. By part (a), $$ \forall x((I(x) \rightarrow P(x)) \vee(P(x) \rightarrow I(x))) $$ is true. In words: For all $x$, if $x$ is an integer, then $x$ is positive; or if $x$ is positive, then $x$ is an integer. Therefore, all integers are positive or all positive real numbers are integers.
