20. Recall that reversing the order of the quantifiers in a statement with two
different quantifiers may change the truth value of the statement - but it
does not necessarily do so. All the statements in the pairs below refer to
the Tarski world of Figure 3.3.1. In each pair, the order of the quantifiers
is reversed but everything else is the same. For each pair, determine
whether the statements have the same or opposite truth values. Justify your
answers.
a.
(1) For every square $y$ there is a triangle $x$ such that $x$ and $y$ have
different colors.
(2) There is a triangle $x$ such that for every square $y$, $x$, and $y$ have
different colors.
b.
(1) For every circle $y$ there is a square $x$ such that $x$ and $y$ have the
same color.
(2) There is a square $x$ such that for every circle $y$, $x$ and $y$ have the
same color.
21. For each of the following equations, determine which of the following
statements are true:
(1) For every real number $x$, there exists a real number $y$ such that the
equation is true.
(2) There exists a real number $x$, such that for every real number $y$, the
equation is true.
Note that it is possible for both statements to be true or for both to be false.
a. $2x + y = 7$
b. $y + x = x + y$
c. $x^2 - 2xy + y^2 = 0$
d. $(x - 5)(y - 1) = 0$
e. $x^2 + y^2 = -1$
In 22 and 23, rewrite each statement without using variables or the symbol
$\forall$ or $\exists$. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
22.
a. $\forall$ real number $x$, $\exists$ a real number $y$ such that $x + y = 0$.
b. $\exists$ a real number $y$ such that $\forall$ real number $x$, $x + y = 0$.
23.
a. $\forall$ nonzero real number $r$, $\exists$ a real number $s$ such that
$rs = 1$.
b. $\exists$ a real number $r$ such that $\forall$ nonzero real number $s$,
$rs = 1$.
24. Use the laws for negating universal and existential statements to derive the
following rules:
a.
$\neg(\forall x \in D(\forall y \in E(P(x, y)))) \equiv \exists x \in D(\exists y \in E(\neg P(x, y)))$
b.
$\neg(\exists x \in D(\exists y \in E(P(x, y)))) \equiv \forall x \in D(\forall y \in E(\neg P(x, y)))$
Each statement in 25-28 refers to the Tarski world of Figure 3.3.1. For each,
(a) determine whether the statement is true or false and justify your answer,
and (b) write a negation for the statement (referring, if you wish, to the
result in exercise 24).
25. $\forall$ circle $x$ and $\forall$ square $y$, $x$ is above $y$.
26. $\forall$ circle $x$ and $\forall$ triangle $y$, $x$ is above $y$.
27. $\exists$ a circle $x$ and $\exists$ a square $y$ such that $x$ is above $y$
and $x$ and $y$ have different colors.
28. $\exists$ a triangle $x$ and $\exists$ a square $y$ such that $x$ is above
$y$ and $x$ and $y$ have the same color.
For each of the statements in 29 and 30, (a) write a new statement by
interchanging the symbols $\forall$ and $\exists$, and (b) state which is true:
the given statement, the version with interchanged quantifiers, neither or both.
29. $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, \exists y \in \mathhbb{R}$ such that $x < y$.
30. $\exists x \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $\forall y \in \mathbb{R}^{-}$ (the set
of negative real numbers), $x > y$.
31. Consider the statement "Everybody is older than somebody." Rewrite this
statement in the form "$\forall$ people $x$, $\exists$ ______."
32. Consider the statement "Somebody is older than everybody." Rewrite this
statement in the form "$\exists$ a person $x$ such that $\forall$ ______."
In 33-39, (a) rewrite the statement formally using quantifiers and variables,
and (b) write a negation for the statement.
33. Everybody loves somebody.
34. Somebody loves everybody.
35. Everybody trusts somebody.
36. Somebody trusts everybody.
37. Any even integer equals twice some integer.
38. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
39. There is a program that gives the correct answer to every question that is
posed to it.
40. In informal speech most sentences of the form "There is ______ every ______"
are intended to be understood as meaning "$\forall$ ______ $\exists$
______," even though the existential quantifier _there is_ comes before the
universal quantifier _every_. Note that this interpretation applies to the
following well-known sentences. Rewrite them using quantifiers and
variables.
a. There is a sucker born every minute.
b. There is a time for every purpose under heaven.
41. Indicate which of the following statements are true and which are false.
Justify your answers as best you can.
a. $\forall x \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}, \exists y \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$ such that
$x = y + 1$.
b. $\forall x \in \mathbb{Z}, \exists y \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $x = y + 1$.
c. $\exists x \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $\forall y \in \mathbb{R}, x = y + 1$ .
d. $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}^{+}, \exists y \in \mathbb{R}^{+}$ such that
$xy = 1$.
e. $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, \exists y \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $xy = 1$.
f. $\exists x \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $\forall y \in \mathbb{R}, x + y = y$.
g. $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}^{+}, \exists y \in \mathbb{R}^{+}$ such that
$y < x$.
h. $\exists x \in \mathbb{R}^{+}$ such that
$\forall y \in \mathbb{R}^{+}, x \leq y$.
42. Write the negation of the definition of limit of a sequence given in Example
3.3.7.
43. The following is the definition for $\lim\limits_{x \to a}f(x) = L$:
For every real number $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a real number $\delta > 0$
such that for every real number $x$, if $a - \delta < x < a + \delta$ and
$x \neq a$ then
$$ L - \varepsilon < f(x) < L + \varepsilon $$
Write what it means for $\lim\limits_{x \to a}f(x) \neq L$. In other words,
write the negation of the definition.
44. The notation $\exists !$ stands for the words "there exists a unique." Thus,
for instance, "$\exists ! x$ such that $x$ is prime and $x$ is even" means
that there is one and only one even prime number. Which of the following
statements are true and which are false?
a. $\exists !$ real number $x$ such that $\forall$ real number $y$, $xy = y$.
b. $\exists !$ integer $x$ such that $\dfrac{1}{x}$ is an integer.
c. $\forall$ real number $x$, $\exists !$ real number $y$ such that $x + y = 0$.
45. Suppose that $P(x)$ is a predicate and $D$ is the domain of $x$. Rewrite the
statement "$\exists ! x \in D \text{ such that } P(x)$" without using the
symbol $\exists !$. (See exercise 44 for the meaning of $\exists !$.)
In 46-54, refer to the Tarski world given in Figure 3.1.1, which is shown again
here for reference. The domains of all variables consist of all the objects in
the Tarski world. For each statement, (a) indicate whether the statement is true
or false and justify your answer, (b) write the given statement using the formal
logical notation illustrated in Example 3.3.10, and (c) write a negation for the
given statement using the formal logical notation of Example 3.3.10.
46. There is a triangle $x$ such that for every square $y$, $x$ is above $y$.
47. There is a triangle $x$ such that for every circle $y$, $x$ is above $y$.
48. For every circle $x$, there is a square $y$ such that $y$ is to the right of
$x$.
49. For every object $x$, if $x$ is a circle then there is a square $y$ such
that $y$ has the same color as $x$.

that $y$ is below $x$.
51. There is a square $x$ such that for every triangle $y$, if $y$ is above $x$
then $y$ has the same color as $x$.
52. For every circle $x$ and for every triangle $y$, $x$ is to the right of $y$.
53. There is a circle $x$ and there is a square $y$ such that $x$ and $y$ have
the same color.
54. There is a circle $x$ and there is a triangle $y$ such that $x$ has the same
color as $y$.
Let $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ be predicates and suppose $D$ is the domain of $x$. In
55-58, for the statement forms in each pair, determine whether (a) they have the
same truth value for every choice of $P(x)$, $Q(x)$ and $D$, or (b) there is a
choice of $P(x)$, $Q(x)$, and $D$ for which they have opposite truth values.
55. $\forall x \in D, (P(x) \wedge Q(x)) \text{ and } (\forall x \in D, P(x)) \wedge (\forall x \in D, Q(x))$

57. $\forall x \in D, (P(x) \vee Q(x)) \text{ and } (\forall x \in D, P(x)) \vee (\forall x \in D, Q(x))$
58. $\exists x \in D, (P(x) \vee Q(x)) \text{ and } (\exists x \in D, P(x)) \vee (\exists x \in D, Q(x))$
