**Negations of Statements with Two Different Quantifiers**
$\neg(\forall x \text{ in } d, \exists y \text{ in } E \text{ such that } P(x, y)) \equiv \exists x \text{ in } D \text{ such that } \forall y \text{ in } E, \neg P(x, y)$
$\neg(\exists x \text{ in } D \text{ such that } \forall y \text{ in } E, P(x, y)) \equiv \forall x \text{ in } D, \exists y \text{ in } E \text{ such that } \neg P(x, y)$

**Universal Instantiation**
If a property is true of _everything_ in a set, then it is true of _any
particular_ thing in the set.

**Universal Modus Ponens**
_Formal Version_
$$
\forall x, \text{ if } P(x) \text{ then } Q(x) \\
P(a) \text{ for a particular } a \\
\therefore Q(a)
$$
_Informal Version_
$$
\text{If } x \text{ makes } P(x) \text{true, then } x \text{ makes } Q(x) \text{ true.} \\
a \text{ makes } P(x) \text{ true.} \\
\therefore a \text{ makes } Q(x) \text{ true.}

**Definition**
To say that an _argument form_ is **valid** means the following: No matter what
particular predicates are substituted for the predicate symbols in its premises,
if the resulting premise statements are all true, then the conclusion is also
true. An _argument_ is called **valid** if, and only if, its form is valid. It
is called _sound_ if, and only if, its form is valid and its premises are true.

**Converse Error (Quantified Form)**
_Formal Version_
$$
\forall x, \text{ if } P(x) \text{ then } Q(x) \\
Q(a) \text{ for a particular } a \\
\therefore \neg P(a) \text{ is an invalid conclusion}
$$
_Informal Version_
$$
\text{If } x \text{ makes } P(x) \text{true, then } x \text{ makes } Q(x) \text{ true.} \\
a \text{ makes } Q(x) \text{ true.} \\
\therefore a \text{ makes } P(x) \text{ true. } \text{ is an invalid conclusion}

**Inverse Error (Quantified Form)**
_Formal Version_
$$
\forall x, \text{ if } P(x) \text{ then } Q(x) \\
\neg P(a) \text{ for a particular } a \\
\therefore \neg \neg Q(a) \text{ is an invalid conclusion}
$$
_Informal Version_
$$
\text{If } x \text{ makes } P(x) \text{true, then } x \text{ makes } Q(x) \text{ true.} \\
a \text{ does not make } P(x) \text{ true.} \\
\therefore a \text{ does not make } Q(x) \text{ true. } \text{ is an invalid conclusion}

**Universal Transitivity**
_Formal Version_
$$
\forall x P(x) \to Q(x) \\
\forall x Q(x) \to R(x) \\
\therefore \forall x P(x) \to R(x)
$$
_Informal Version_
$$
\text{Any } x \text{ that makes } P(x) \text{ true makes } Q(x) \text{ true.} \\
\text{Any } x \text{ that makes } Q(x) \text{ true makes } R(x) \text{ true.} \\
\therefore \text{Any } x \text{ that makes } P(x) \text{ true makes } R(x) \text{ true.} \\
