Hello, Just want some help if my answers are correct.
1.) Determine the truth value for the following statement if the domain consist of the set of negative integers.
∀x(-2x>x)
Answer is True
Let x = -1, since the domain is in the negative integer and the product of two negative integers is positive. so
(-2(-1)>(-1)) = 2 > -1.
This is true for all value of x in the negative domain.
2.) Let Q(x,y) be the statement x - y = 1. Find the truth value of the statement where x and y are integers.
∃x∀y Q(x,y)
The answer is True
when solving for x we get x = 1 + y.
(1 + y) - y = 1.
1 + y - y = 1.
1 = 1.
This is true for every value of integer y.
