Use the laws of propositional logic to prove that the following compound propositions are logically equivalent:A(BC) and AAB → CShow the names of the identities and laws you used at each step. Please note that the conditional operatorhas right to left precedence (aka "associates to the right") so A→ (BC) is the same as A → B → C. Wehave added the parentheses to avoid any confusion, but technically they are not necessary!

Certainly! Let's prove the logical equivalence of A → (B → C) and A∧ B→ C using the laws of…

For each statement below, decide whether it is true or false. If it is true, prove it. Ifit is not true, give a counterexample. All parts refer to languages over the alphabet {a, b}. (b) If Li C L2, and L2 cannot be accepted by an FA, then Li cannot.
Topic: Propositional Logic Guidelines: - type out the work (do not handwrite) - explain everything in words and in mathematical format - provide the solution in the format asked for the question - don't have grammar mistakes - write in full sentences
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).
1. Explain the difference between first-order logic and propositional logic. 2. The language of first-order logic is based on objects and relations. An example of a first-order logic expression is "squares near the WAMPUS are smelly." What are the objects and relations in that expression? 3. What is an atomic sentence? Give an example. 4. What is the universal quantifier? Write the sentence "All kings are persons" using the universal quantifier and other logic symbols. Hint: To find the logic symbols in blackboard click on fx from the toolbar above and select the symbols tab. 5. What is the existential quantifier? Write the sentence "There is a prime number that is even" using the existential quantifier and other logic symbols.
The following argument of TFL is invalid. ((D → B) ∧ C) ∴ ((B → C) → D)) Use a one-line truth table to show that the argument is invalid. Explain why the truth table shows that the argument is invalid. (1-2 sentences)
For each of the following statements about regular expressions α, β and languages A, B, state whether they are true or false. Provide a one-sentence justification for each answer.
Exhibit the structure of the following statements by transforming them into a first-order formula,indicating the interpretation of predicates and the domain. For example the statement There isno greatest integer can be transformed into ¬∃x, ∀y, P(x, y) where P(x, y) is the predicate x ≥ y,the domain being the integers.Do not try to prove them (it may not be possible!).1. Every integer can be written as the sum of 2 squares.2. Every positive real number has a square root.3. The cosine function has zeroes.4. The cosine function has at least two distinct zeroes.5. There is a neutral element1for multiplication in real numbers.6. Every odd square can be written as the sum of three odd numbers.
Explain the relevance of operator precedence in a few sentences.
Translate each of these nested quantifications into an English statement that expresses a mathematicalfact. The domain in each case consists of all real numbers.a) ∃x∀y(x + y = y) b) ∀x∀y (((x ≥ 0) ∧ (y < 0)) → (x − y > 0))c) ∃x∃y(((x ≤ 0) ∧ (y ≤ 0)) ∧ (x − y > 0))d) ∀x∀y((x ≠ 0) ∧ (y ≠ 0) ↔ (xy ≠ 0))
