# 1.1.6 Additional Exercises

|

1.

|

Q: Suppose $P$ and $Q$ are the statements: $P$: Jack passed math. $Q$: Jill
|
||||
passed math.
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Translate "Jack and Jill both passed math" into symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Translate "If Jack passed math, then Jill did not" into symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
\(c\) Translate "$P \vee Q$" into English
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Translate "$\neg(P \wedge Q) \to Q$" into English.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) Suppose you know that if Jack passed math, then so did Jill. What can you
|
||||
conclude if you know that:
|
||||
|
||||
i. Jill passed math?
|
||||
|
||||
ii. Jill did not pass math?
|
||||
|
||||
A:
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Translate "Jack and Jill both passed math" into symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \wedge Q $$
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Translate "If Jack passed math, then Jill did not" into symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to \neg Q $$
|
||||
|
||||
\(c\) Translate "$P \vee Q$" into English
|
||||
|
||||
"Either Jack passed math or Jill passed math or they both passed math."
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Translate "$\neg(P \wedge Q) \to Q$" into English.
|
||||
|
||||
"If it is true that Jack did not pass math or Jill did not pass math or both did
|
||||
not pass math, then Jill passed math."
|
||||
|
||||
(e) Suppose you know that if Jack passed math, then so did Jill. What can you
|
||||
conclude if you know that:
|
||||
|
||||
i. Jill passed math?
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q $$
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- |
|
||||
| T | T | T |
|
||||
| T | F | F |
|
||||
| F | T | T |
|
||||
| F | F | T |
|
||||
|
||||
While it is true that Jack passed math:
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- |
|
||||
| T | T | T |
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible that Jack did not pass math:
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- |
|
||||
| F | T | T |
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore we can say that while it is true that "If Jack passed math, then Jill
|
||||
passed math." And it is also true that "Jill passed math.", we cannot know if
|
||||
"Jack passed math" is a true or false statement.
|
||||
|
||||
ii. Jill did not pass math?
|
||||
|
||||
$$ P \to Q $$
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- |
|
||||
| T | F | F |
|
||||
| F | F | T |
|
||||
|
||||
So given our first assumption, which is that if "Jack passed math, then Jill
|
||||
passed math", $P \to Q$, is a true statement. We are also told by part ii that
|
||||
Jill did not pass math. Given this, and given that we know that $P \to Q$ is
|
||||
true, we can only therefore take the last row:
|
||||
|
||||
| $P$ | $Q$ | $P \to Q$ |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --------- |
|
||||
| F | F | T |
|
||||
|
||||
So we know that Jack did not pass math.
|
||||
|
||||
2.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Translate into symbols. Use $E(x)$ for "$x$ is even" and $O(x)$ for "$x$ is
|
||||
odd."
|
||||
|
||||
(a) No number is both even and odd.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) One more than any even number is an odd number.
|
||||
|
||||
\(c\) There is a prime number that is even.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Between any two numbers there is a third number.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) There is no number between a number and one more than that number.
|
||||
|
||||
A:
|
||||
|
||||
(a) No number is both even and odd.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \forall x \neg (E(x) \wedge O(x)) $$
|
||||
|
||||
Also:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \neg \exists x (E(x) \wedge O(x)) $$
|
||||
|
||||
(b) One more than any even number is an odd number.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \forall x (E(x) \to O(x + 1)) $$
|
||||
|
||||
\(c\) There is a prime number that is even.
|
||||
|
||||
Say that $P(x)$ symbolizes "$x$ is prime." then:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \exists x (P(x) \wedge E(x)) $$
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Between any two numbers there is a third number.
|
||||
|
||||
This one goes outside the scope of the section a bit, but you can say:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \forall x \forall z \left(x < z \to \exists y(x < y < z)\right) $$
|
||||
|
||||
(e) There is no number between a number and one more than that number.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \forall x \neg \exists y (x < y < x + 1) $$
|
||||
|
||||
3.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: For each of the statements below, give a domain of discourse for which the
|
||||
statement is true, and a domain for which the statement is false.
|
||||
|
||||
(a) $\forall x \exists y \left(y^2 = x\right)$.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) $\forall x \forall y \left(x < y \to \exists z(x < z < y)\right)$.
|
||||
|
||||
\(c\) $\exists x \forall y \forall z(y < z \to y \leq x \leq z)$.
|
||||
|
||||
A:
|
||||
|
||||
(a) $\forall x \exists y \left(y^2 = x\right)$.
|
||||
|
||||
The domain of discourse for the statement is true for all real numbers greater
|
||||
than or equal to $0$.
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \text{DOMAIN WHERE TRUE: } \forall x \exists y \left(y^2 = x\right), x \in \mathbb{R_{\geq 0}} $$
|
||||
|
||||
The domain of discourse for this statement is false for all real numbers (or
|
||||
integers) less than $0$
|
||||
|
||||
$$ \text{DOMAIN WHERE FALSE: } \forall x \exists y \left(y^2 = x\right), x \in \mathbb{R_{<0}} $$
|
||||
|
||||
(b) $\forall x \forall y \left(x < y \to \exists z(x < z < y)\right)$.
|
||||
|
||||
This is true for the domain of all real numbers:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ x, y, z \in \mathbb{R} $$
|
||||
|
||||
This is false for the domain of all whole integers, since there is no number
|
||||
between, say $2$ and $3$ in $\mathbb{Z}$:
|
||||
|
||||
$$ x, y, z \in \mathbb{Z} $$
|
||||
|
||||
\(c\) $\exists x \forall y \forall z(y < z \to y \leq x \leq z)$.
|
||||
|
||||
This statement is true in any domain with at most one element, and false in any
|
||||
ordered set with at least two distinct elements.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
True in: $\{0\}$ False in: $\mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{R}$
