In summary, the conversation is about finding a simple open statement and examples for a given set of points. The first question involves creating a statement that is true for all points in T and false for all points in F. The second question asks for an example of a point in T that satisfies the statement and a point in F that does not. The conversation also includes discussion about finding equations or patterns to satisfy the given conditions.

Hello guys,

I have a question regarding mathematical logic that I'm stuck on. Here it is:

T = { (5,9), (4,9), (5,7), (6,5), (5,5), (6,3), (7,1), (6,1), (5,1), (4,1), (3,1), (2,1), (1,1), (0,1) }
F = { (5,4), (6,8 ), (2,11), (4,13), (8,1), (1,0) }

1) Make a simple open statement P(x,y) so (x,y) in T -> P(x,y) and (x,y) in F -> !P(x,y). Use only domain N, comparison operators (<, =, >), operations (+, -) and logical notation and don't use T or F in P.

2) Find an example (x,y) !in T so that P(x,y) and an example (x,y) !in F so that !P(x,y).

My thoughts:

1) I can't think of any general equation or formula so that T is true and F is false, but using cases I may be able to find something. Don't think I can use cases though because there's just too many... Next thing I did was look for patterns but I can't seem to find anything different from T and F. For T, 2x+y <= 19 and x+y <= 14 and -5 <= x-y <= 6 for all sets in T, but when we look at the sets in F, some of those sets satisfy the equations from T.. basically, NOT all of the sets in F are false, some are true.. what can i do to ensure all sets in T are true and all sets in F are false?

2) ?

My 2 cents :
1>
find the equation of the line that passes through all the points in T but not through any point in F.Let this function be f(x,y)
P(x,y) : (x,y) is a point in f(x,y)

Well, I don't know how simple your statement has to be but you could separate the points by regions (graphing them would help). You'd probably have to use five or six lines.

im not sure what you mean by graphing them.. i put all the coordinates on a x/y graph, connected them with a line..

after connecting all the sets of coordinates of T with a line, the line isn't even straight.. can't find the slope..
 

FAQ: Making an open statement to satisfy two conditions help

What is an open statement?

An open statement is a statement that is not yet proven to be true or false. It is used in mathematical proofs or scientific experiments to make a claim that can be tested and verified.

What are the two conditions that need to be satisfied in an open statement?

The two conditions that need to be satisfied in an open statement are logical consistency and empirical evidence. Logical consistency means that the statement must make sense and follow the rules of logic. Empirical evidence means that the statement must be supported by real-world observations or data.

How can making an open statement help in scientific research?

Making an open statement can help in scientific research by providing a starting point for investigation and experimentation. It allows scientists to make a hypothesis or prediction that can be tested and potentially lead to new discoveries or insights.

What is the process of satisfying the two conditions in an open statement?

The process of satisfying the two conditions in an open statement involves using logical reasoning to ensure the statement is consistent and then gathering and analyzing empirical evidence to support or refute the statement. This process may involve conducting experiments, making observations, or using mathematical models.

Can an open statement ever be proven to be absolutely true?

No, an open statement can never be proven to be absolutely true. This is because new evidence or information may arise in the future that could contradict the statement. However, an open statement can be supported by a significant amount of evidence, making it a reliable and widely accepted explanation or theory.
