Write the negation of each of the following logical expressions so that all negations immediately precede predicates. In some cases, it may be necessary to apply one or more laws of propositional logic. ∀x ∀y ¬P(x, y) ∨ ∃x ∃y ¬Q(x, y)

Rewrite each of these statements so that negations appear only within predicates (that is, so that no negation is outside a quantifier or an expression involving logical connectives). a) $\neg \forall x \forall y P(x, y) \quad$ b) $\neg \forall y \exists x P(x, y)$ c) $\neg \forall y \forall x(P(x, y) \vee Q(x, y))$ d) $\neg(\exists x \exists y \neg P(x, y) \wedge \forall x \forall y Q(x, y))$ e) $\quad \neg \forall x(\exists y \forall z P(x, y, z) \wedge \exists z \forall y P(x, y, z))$

Express the negations of each of these statements so that all negation symbols immediately precede predicates. a) $\exists z \forall y \forall x T(x, y, z)$ b) $\exists x \exists y P(x, y) \wedge \forall x \forall y Q(x, y)$ c) $ \exists x \exists y(Q(x, y) \leftrightarrow Q(y, x))$ d) $\forall y \exists x \exists z(T(x, y, z) \vee Q(x, y))$
