Problem 12
12\. Write each of the following arguments in symbolic form. Then establish the validity of the argument or give a counterexample to show that it is invalid. a) If Rochelle gets the supervisor's position and works hard, then she'll get a raise. If she gets the raise, then she'll buy a new car. She has not purchased a new car. Therefore either Rochelle did not get the supervisor's position or she did not work hard. b) If Dominic goes to the racetrack, then Helen will be mad. If Ralph plays cards all night, then Carmela will be mad. If either Helen or Carmela gets mad, then Veronica (their attorney) will be notified. Veronica has not heard from either of these two clients. Consequently, Dominic didn't make it to the racetrack and Ralph didn't play cards all night. c) If there is a chance of rain or her red headband is missing, then Lois will not mow her lawn. Whenever the temperature is over \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), there is no chance for rain. Today the temperature is \(85^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and Lois is wearing her red headband. Therefore (sometime today) Lois will mow her lawn.
Problem 12
12\. a) Let \(p(x, y)\) denote the open statement " \(x\) divides \(y\)," where the universe for each of the variables \(x, y\) comprises all integers. (In this context "divides" means "exactly divides" or "divides evenly.") Determine the truth value of each of the following statements; if a quantified statement is false, provide an explanation or a counterexample. i) \(p(3,7)\) ii) \(p(3,27)\) iii) \(\forall y p(1, y)\) iv) \(\forall x p(x, 0)\) v) \(\forall x p(x, x)\) vi) \(\forall y \exists x p(x, y)\) vii) \(\exists y \forall x p(x, y)\) viii) \(\forall x \forall y[(p(x, y) \wedge p(y, x)) \rightarrow(x=y)]\) b) Determine which of the eight statements in part (a) will change in truth value if the universe for each of the variables \(x, y\) were restricted to just the positive integers. c) Determine the truth value of each of the following statements. If the statement is false, provide an explanation or a counterexample. [The universe for each of \(x, y\) is as in part (b).] i) \(\forall x \exists y p(x, y)\) ii) \(\forall y \exists x p(x, y)\) iii) \(\exists x \forall y p(x, y)\) iv) \(\exists y \forall x p(x, y)\)
