Write an informal negation for each of the following statements: a. All pots have lids. b. All birds can fly. c. Some pigs can fly, d. Some dogs have spots.
The following statement is true: " \(\forall\) nonzero numbers \(x, \exists\) a real number \(y\) such that \(x y=1 . .\) For each \(x\) given below, find a \(y\) to make the predicate " \(x y=1\) " true, a. \(x=2\) b. \(x=-1\) c. \(x=3 / 4\)
\(\forall n \in \mathbf{Z}\), if \(n\) is prime then \(n\) is odd or \(n=2\).
Some of the arguments in 7-18 are valid by universal modus ponens or universal modus tollens; others are invalid and exhibit the converse or the inverse error. State which are valid and which are invalid. Justify your answers. If a number is even, then twice that number is even. The number \(2 n\) is even, for a particular number \(n\). The particular number \(n\) is even.
Consider the following statement: \(\forall\) integers \(n\), if \(n^{2}\) is even then \(n\) is even. Which of the following are equivalent ways of expressing this statement? a. All integers have even squares and are even. b. Given any integer whose square is even, that integer is itself even. c. For all integers, there are some whose square is even. d. Any integer with an even square is even. e. If the square of an integer is even, then that integer is even. f. All even integers have even squares.
