Question
The domain for this problem is some unspecified collection of numbers. Consider the predicate
P(x, y) = "x is greater than y."
(a) Translate the following statement into predicate logic.
Every number has a number that is greater than it.
(x)(3)(x, y)
(x), x)
(3x)(y), x)
(x)(³)(y,x)
Ⓒ (3x)(³y)P(y,x)
(b) Negate your expression from part (a), and simplify it so that no quantifier or connective lies within the scope of a negation.
O (3x)(3)(~P(y, x))
((((, x))
(3x)(V)(P(x, y))
(3x)(V)(Py, x))
(x)(3)(Py, x))
(c) Translate your expression from part (b) into understandable English. Don't use variables in your English translatio
O All numbers have a number that they are less than or equal to.
O There is a number that has a number that it is less than or equal to.
O There is a number that all numbers are greater than or equal to.
O There is a number that all numbers are less than or equal to.
O All numbers are less than or equal to all numbers.
