EXERCISE
3.7.1: Determining whether a quantified statement about the integers is true.
Predicates P and Q are defined below. The domain is the set of all positive integers.
P(x): x is prime
Q(x): x is a perfect square (i.e., x = y2, for some integer y)
Indicate whether each logical expression is a proposition. If the expression is a proposition, then give its truth value.
(a) 3x Q(x)
(b) Vx Q(x) ^ -P(x)
(c) Vx Q(x) v P(3)
(d) 3x (Q(x) ^ P(x))
(e) Vx (-Q(x) v P(x))
