Question

Hello, I'm trying to complete the following Discrete Maths questions. 

  • I've attached a screenshot of the questions.
  • I've also attached a picture of the Laws Of The Predicate Calculus sheet we use.
  • The number beside the question e.g. (13) represents the Law on the Predicate Calculus Sheet. 

 

1. Using Laws of the Predicate Calculus 0-12, prove the following:
[X ^ (Y ^ Z) = (X ^ Y) ^ Z] "A ASSOC"
(13)
2. Using Laws of the Predicate Calculus 0-16, prove the following:
[XV (XAY) = X] "ABSORPTION.1"
(17)
3. Using Laws of the Predicate Calculus 0-18, prove the following:
(19) [X^ (Y V Z) = (X ^ Y) v (X ^ Z)]
"A/V" ("A OVER V")
4. Using Laws of the Predicate Calculus 0-20, prove the following:
(21) [X^(Y=Z=W) = XAY=X^Z = X^W]
"^/= =" ("^ OVER ==")

Expert Solution
Step 1

1. answer:

[X^(Y^Z)] = [(X^Y)^Z]

LHS.

[X^(Y^Z)]

= (X^Y) ^ (X^Z)

=(X^Y)^Z  [*11 GOLDEN RULE]
