Use the rules of inference and the laws of propositional logic to prove that each argument is valid. Number each line of your argument and label each line of your proof "Hypothesis" or with the name of the rule of inference used at that line. If a rule of inference is used, then include the numbers of the previous lines to which the rule is applied.

Q: The propositional variables b, v, and s represent the propositions: b: Alice rode her bike today. v: Alice overslept today. s: It is sunny today. Select the logical expression that represents the statement: “Alice rode her bike today only if it was sunny today and she did not oversleep.” b→(s→¬v) 2. b→(s∧¬v) 3. s∧(¬v→b) 4.

Consider the following statement: Statement A: ∀ integers m and n, if 2m + n is odd then m and n are both odd. Disprove Statement A. That is, show that Statement A is false
For each of the following statements, determine whether they are true or false. If false, write their logical negation (distributing the ¬ across any expressions as necessary) and explain how this negation is true. In each of these, x and y are assumed to be integers. (a) (∀x)(∀y)((y > x) ⇒ (x = 0)) (b) (∃x)(∀y)((y > x) ⇒ (x = 0)) (c) (∀x)(∃y)((y > x) ⇒ (x = 0)) (d) (∀x)(((∀y)(y > x)) ⇒ (x = 0))
Construct a truth table for the following statement form.p ∧ (~q ∨ r)
Construct a truth table to decide if the two statements are equivalent. ~p ∧ ~q; ~(p ∨ q) TRUE FALSE
Below are some statements; the domain of each is the set of all integers. For symbolic statements, thenegation symbol (¬) must not apear in your answer. For English statements, don’t use “It is not the casethat” or just the word “not” to form the negation.For each one, state whether the statement is TRUE, FALSE, or CAN’T BE DETERMINED. For all that onesthat are TRUE or FALSE, state the negation:1.∃n(nis even)2.∀a∀b(3a≥2b)3.∀a∃b(ab= 1)
