Order the following sentences so that they form a direct proof of the statement: If x and y are rational numbers, then 3x + 2y is also a rational number. Choose from this list of sentences Since b, d are integers, bd is an integer. By the definition of rational numbers, x = alb where a and b are integers and b 0, and y = c/d where c and d are integers and d 0. Since 3x + 2y can be expressed as a ratio of two integers where the denominator is not zero, 3x + 2y is a rational number. Since a, b, c, d are integers, 3ad + 2bc is an integer. Let x and y be rational numbers. Since b 0 and d # 0, bd # 0. It follows that 3x + 2y = 3a/b + 2cld = (3ad +2bc)/(bd) Direct proof of the statement (in order):

Use prolog for the coding Using prolog write a predicate to guess a number interactively from 1 to 100 in at most 4 tries. Output can be obtained with predicates write(X) and nl, and input with predicate read(X) (integer input will be followed by a “.”). The secret number can be hardcoded.
Convert each of the following argu- ments into formal statements, e.g., define sentences existentially and/or universally quantified statements. Then determine which rules of logic have been applied and explain whether or not they have been ap- plied correctly. If you don’t do the homework, you won’t pass the final. Curly did not do the homework. Therefore Curly did not pass the final. If you do the homework you will pass the final. If you pass the fi- nal you will pass the course. Larry did the homework. Therefore Larry will pass the course. Curly, Moe and Larry are stooges. Curly did his homework. Therefore a stooge did his homework.
a. Correctness of dynamic programming algorithm: Usually, a dynamic programming algorithm can be seen as a recursion and proof by induction is one of the easiest way to show its correctness. The structure of a proof by strong induction for one variable, say n, contains three parts. First, we define the Proposition P(n) that we want to prove for the variable n. Next, we show that the proposition holds for Base case(s), such as n = 0, 1, . . . etc. Finally, in the Inductive step, we assume that P(n) holds for any value of n strictly smaller than n' , then we prove that P(n') also holds. Use the proof by strong induction properly to show that the algorithm of the Knapsack problem above is correct. b. Bounded Knapsack Problem: Let us consider a similar problem, in which each item i has ci > 0 copies (ci is an integer). Thus, xi is no longer a binary value, but a non-negative integer at most equal to ci , 0 ≤ xi ≤ ci . Modify the dynamic programming algorithm seen at class for this…
Can you please help me with this because I am struggling with this problem, Can you please do this problem step by step and can you do explanations as well.
The domain is the set {a, b, c, d, e}. The table below shows the value of two predicates for each of the elements in the domain. Ex: The value of P(c) is false because the truth value in row c and column P is F. PQ a FT bFF CFF d TF e F F Check Next Give exactly one counterexample that shows the proposition VxP(x) is false. Ex: d Give exactly one example that shows the proposition 3xQ(x) is true. 2

Give a recursive definition for the set of all strings of a’s and b’s that begins with an a and ends in a b. Say, S = { ab, aab, abb, aaab, aabb, abbb, abab..} Let S be the set of all strings of a’s and b’s that begins with a and ends in a b. The recursive definition is as follows – Base:... Recursion: If u ∈ S, then... Restriction: There are no elements of S other than those obtained from the base and recursion of S.
i need answer of all. if any answer will be skipped, your answer will be rejected. only complete answer will be accepted. b) Make a truth table for the statement ¬P ∧ (Q → P). What can youconclude about P and Q if you know the statement is true? a) Make a truth table for the statement (P ∨ Q) → (P ∧ Q). c) Make a truth table for the statement ¬P → (Q ∧ R).
Develop a system/application in Prolog that will allow grader to: load a set of student’s grades (see samples from the Table C below) query student’s final letter grade (A, B, C, etc.) by a given student’s name. query student(s) whose grade matches to the input letter grade (e.g., A). For example, show student(s) whose final letter grade is A. There are 3 types of grades for each student—HWs, Exams, and Project, with a weight of 20%, 40% and 40%, respectively, to the 100-point final. Table A and B show how the final grades (in points and letter) are computed. Table C shows samples of students’ grades. You will define the execution instructions to answer the following questions so that grader can test out your application in Prolog: how to load your source code to Prolog runtime/compiler how to load students’ grades to Prolog runtime/compiler how to query student’s letter grade how to query student(s) whose letter grade matches to an input letter grade Please DO NOT hard code any…
