Problem 38

Let \(x, y,\) and \(z\) be any real numbers. Represent each sentence symbolically, where \(p: x

Problem 38

Mark each sentence as true or false, where \(p, q,\) and \(r\) are arbitrary statements, \(t\) a tautology, and \(f\) a contradiction. $$\text { If } p \equiv q, \text { then } q \equiv p$$

Problem 39

Let \(x, y,\) and \(z\) be any real numbers. Represent each sentence symbolically, where \(p: xx\).

Problem 39

Mark each sentence as true or false, where \(p, q,\) and \(r\) are arbitrary statements, \(t\) a tautology, and \(f\) a contradiction. If \(p \equiv q\) and \(q \equiv r,\) then \(p \equiv r\).

Problem 39

Find the flaw in the following "proof": Let \(a\) and \(b\) be real numbers such that \(a=b .\) Then \(a b=b^{2}\) Therefore, \(a^{2}-a b=a^{2}-b^{2}\) Factoring, \(a(a-b)=(a+b)(a-b)\) Cancel \(a-b\) from both sides: $$a=a+b$$ since \(a=b,\) this yields \(a=2 a\) Cancel a from both sides. Then we get \(1=2\) . Let \(a, b,\) and \(c\) be any real numbers. Then \(a

Problem 40

Let \(x, y,\) and \(z\) be any real numbers. Represent each sentence symbolically, where \(p: x

Problem 40

Mark each sentence as true or false, where \(p, q,\) and \(r\) are arbitrary statements, \(t\) a tautology, and \(f\) a contradiction. $$\text { If } p \wedge q \equiv p \wedge r, \text { then } q \equiv r$$.

Problem 40

Let \(a, b,\) and \(c\) be any real numbers. Then \(a

Problem 41

Let \(x, y,\) and \(z\) be any real numbers. Represent each sentence symbolically, where \(p: x

Problem 41

Let UD \(=\) set of integers, \(\mathrm{P}(x, y) : x\) is a multiple of \(y,\) and \(Q(x, y) : x \geq y\) Determine the truth value of each proposition. $$(\exists x) \mathrm{P}(15, x)$$
