We can also simplify statements in predicate logic using our rules for passing negations over quantifiers and then applying propositional logical equivalence to the "inside" propositional part. Simplify the statements below (so negation appears only directly next to predicates). (a) ¬∃x∀y(¬O(x) ∨ E(y)). (b) ¬∀x¬∀y¬(x < y ∧ ∃z(x < z ∨ y < z)). (c) There is a number n for which no other number is either less than n or equal to n. (d) It is false that for every number n there are two other numbers between which n is.

Express the negation of each of these statements in terms of quantifiers without using the negation symbol. a) $\forall x(-2<x<3)$ b) $\forall x(0 \leq x<5)$ c) $\exists x(-4 \leq x \leq 1)$ d) $\exists x(-5<x<-1)$

True and false propositions with quantifiers. Answer the following questions in the space provided below. For each proposition below, first determine its truth value, then negate the proposition and simplify (using DeMorgan's laws) to eliminate all symbols. All variables are from the domain of integers. Consider the predicates defined below. Take the domain to be the positive integers. P(x): x is a perfect square Q(x): x is prime Invent an example of a true proposition using quantifiers (V and 3); at least one of the logical operations from the predicates P(x) and Q(x). Invent an example of a false proposition using quantifiers (V and 3); at least one of the logical operations from the predicates P(x) and Q(x). Don't just write followed by your response to.
