Logic Logic Equivalance Relations: TR1333 Tutorial 1 W 2
TUTORIAL 1
c) Tell whether each proposition in (a) is true or false if the domain of discourse is D x D
where D consists of three students: Gan, who is 5’ 11” tall; Erin, who is 5’ 6” tall; and
Man who is 6’ tall.
5 Let P(x) be the propositional function “x ≥ x²”. Tell whether each proposition is true or false.
The domain of discourse is R.
a) P(1)
b) P(2)
c) P(1/2)
d) x P(x)
e) Ǝx P(x)
f) ¬( x P(x))
g) ¬(Ǝx P(x))
h) x ¬P(x)
i) Ǝx¬P(x)
6 Let P(x,y) be the propositional function x y. The domain of discourse is Z+ x Z+. Tell
whether each proposition is true or false. Then, give negation of each proposition.
a) xy P(x,y)
b) xy P(x,y)
c) xy P(x,y)
d) xy P(x,y)

7 Formulate the arguments of Exercises 1-5 symbolically and determine whether each is valid.
Let
p: I study hard.
q: I get A’s.
r: I get rich.
9 Use proof by contrapositive to show that for all x R, if x2 is irrational, then x is irrational.
10 Use induction to prove statement.
11ⁿ - 6 is divisible by 5, for all n ≥ 1.
