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…

Below are some predicates and their corresponding statements: p(x): x is a student in your class q(x): x has taken a course in logic programming Here, the domain for quantifiers consists of all people. Choose the correct proposition for the sentence: All student in your class has not taken a course in logic programming. a. ∀x¬(P(x) → Q(x)) b. ∀x(P(x) → ¬Q(x) c. ¬∀x (P(x) → Q(x)) d. ¬∃x(P(x) ∧ Q(x))
Mathematical Logic. First-order or predicate logic. Exercises on structures and models. Show that neither of the following statements is logically implied by the other two. (This is done by giving a structure in which the statement in question is false, while the other two are true). 1. ∀x ∀y ∀z (Pxy→Pyz→Pxz) 2. ∀x ∀y (Pxy→Pyx-x=y) 3. ∀x ∃y Pxy→∃y ∀x Pxy Please be as clear as possible. Show and explain all the steps. Thank you very much.
Objective: The objective of this discussion is to be aware of the field of logic. Problem Statement: Consider the statement: "There is a person x who is a student in CSEN 5303 and has visited Mexico" Explain why the answer cannot be 3r (S(x)→ M(x)).
Let P(x), Q(x, y), R(x, y) be the statements "x is a leaf", "x and y look alike", "x y° (x and y do not refer to the same thing). Express each of the following statements using quantifiers, logical connectives and P(x), P(y), Q(x, y), R(x, y). (a) For any two different leaves, they do not look alike. (b) There do not exist two different leaves that look alike. (c) Are (2a) and (2b) logical equivalent? If yes, give the proof.
These are propositional logic practice questions from my Discrete Structures course.

Here are some arguments in English. Your task is to paraphrase these arguments in sentential logic thendetermine whether or not the arguments are valid. The words in parentheses can be ignored; they are thereto simply help you to understand what the English arguments are saying. Hint: Clearly identify the premisesand the conclusion first.1. Sondra mailed the grant proposal I placed on her desk. So she either mailed the grant proposal orthrew it away.2. If you have a cake, then just looking at it will make you hungry. But if looking at it will make youhungry, then you will eat it. So you can’t both have your cake and fail to eat it.3. If I’m right, then I’m not wrong. But if I’m wrong, then I’m not right. Therefore, I’m not wrong. 4. Either we must philosophize or we must not. If we must philosophize, then we must philosophize. If wemust not philosophize, then we must philosophize (to justify this view). Hence, in any case we must philosophize. (Aristotle)
Rewrite the following statement so that negations appear only within predicates (that is, no negation is outside a quantifier or an expression involving logical connectives) ¬∀x ((∀y∃z P(x, y, z)) ⊕ (∀z∀y (R(x, y, z) ∨ S(z, y)))).
For the following statement, write down a logically equivalent statement which containsno operators other than ¬ and ∨:? ∧ (? → ?)
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 do the homework you will pass the final. Somebody did not pass the final. Therefore somebody did not not do the homework. If you do the homework you will pass the final. Curly did not do the homework. Therefore Curly will not pass the final. If you don’t do the homework, you won’t pass the final. Moe did the homework. Therefore Moe passed the final.
Translate each of the following statements into the language of senten- tial logic. Use the suggested abbreviations (capitalized words), if provided; other- wise, devise an abbreviation scheme of your own. In each case, write down what atomic statement each letter stands for, making sure it is a complete sentence. Letters should stand for positively stated sentences, not negatively stated ones; for example, the negative sentence ‘I am not hungry’ should be symbolized as ‘~H’ using ‘H’ to stand for ‘I am hungry’. 1. I will GRADUATE, provided I pass both LOGIC and HISTORY. 2. I will not GRADUATE if I don't pass both LOGIC and HISTORY. 3. Neither JAY nor KAY is able to attend the meeting. 4.KAY will attend the party only if JAY does not. Also present and explain each example in detail. Tell us what answer you provided and why. What was challenging in the example? How would you explain it to a classmate who may still struggle with it?
