Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If I am at the beach, then I swim in the ocean. If I swim in the ocean, then I feel refreshed. \(\therefore\) If I am at the beach, then I feel refreshed.
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. It is the case that \(x<3\) or \(x>10\), but \(x \leq 10\), so \(x<3\).
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If some journalists learn about the invasion, the newspapers will print the news. If the newspapers print the news, the invasion will not be a secret. The invasion was a secret. \(\therefore\) No journalists learned about the invasion.
Determine whether each argument is valid or invalid. Some natural numbers are even, all natural numbers are whole numbers, and all whole numbers are integers. Thus, some integers are even.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I used Euler diagrams to determine that an argument is valid, but when I reverse one of the premises and the conclusion, this new argument is invalid.
