Express the negation of each of these statements in terms of quantifiers without using the negation symbol. a) $\forall x(x>1)$ b) $\forall x(x \leq 2)$ $\begin{array}{ll}\text { c) } & \exists x(x \geq 4)\end{array}$ d) $\exists x(x<0)$ e) $\forall x((x<-1) \vee(x>2))$ f) $\exists x((x<4) \vee(x>7))$
Express the negations of each of these statements so that all negation symbols immediately precede predicates. a) $\forall x \exists y \forall z T(x, y, z)$ b) $\forall x \exists y P(x, y) \vee \forall x \exists y Q(x, y)$ c) $\forall x \exists y P(x, y) \wedge \exists z R(x, y, z) )$ d) $\forall x \exists y(P(x, y) \rightarrow Q(x, y))$
