Translate into FOL (First Order Logic). Use these interpretations: W(x) == x is a witch. M(x) == x is made of wood. B(x) == x burns. D(x) == x weighs the same as a duck. 1. Anything that weighs the same as a duck is made of wood. Short form: ∀x (D(x) → M(x)) 2. Anything made of wood is a witch. Short form: ∀x (M(x) → W(x)) 3. Pia weighs the same as a duck. Short form: D(Pia) Thus, 4. Pia is a witch. Short form: W(Pia)

Translate in two ways each of these statements into logical expressions using predicates, quantifiers, and logical connectives. First, let the domain consist of the students in your class and second, let it consist of all people. a) Everyone in your class has a cellular phone. b) Somebody in your class has seen a foreign movie. c) There is a person in your class who cannot swim. d) All students in your class can solve quadratic equations. e) Some student in your class does not want to be rich.

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When I convert an equation from polar form to rectangular form, the rectangular equation might not define $y$ as a function of $x$
