Concept explainers
Exercises 40-44 deal the translation between system specification and logical expressions involving quantifiers.
42. Express each of these system specifications using predicates, quantifiers, and logical connectives.
a) When there less than 30 megabytes free on the hard disk, a warning message is sent to all users.
b) No directories in the file system can be opened and no files can be closed when system errors have been detected.
c) The file system cannot be backed up if there is a user currently logged on.
d) Video on demand can be delivered when there are at least 8 megabytes of memory available and the connection speed is at least 56 kilobits per second.

- Discrete matharrow_forward1. Two electronic engineers, A and B were responsible to design an electronic circuit. In the circuit design, engineer A uses the combination of gates (g v r) ^ (-p v (q v r)) while engineer B uses the combination of gate (q v r) to produce the same logical operation. Their superior would like to check whether both (g v r) A (-p v (q v r)) and (g v r) produced the same function or not. a. By using a truth table, show that the logical operations (g vr)^(-p v (g v r)) and (q v r) were equivalent or not? b. Without using the truth table, show that whether (g v r) A (-p v (q v r)) and (g v r) are logically equivalent or not. c. If you were their superior, which gates would be chosen to be used in the circuit design? What was the reason behind for the decision?arrow_forwardI need to create a password for my bank account. I would choose each of the first 5 characters of the password from the English alphabet, each of the next 3 characters from the set of digits {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, and each of the last two characters from the set of special characters {!,#,$,%,@}. How many different passwords are possible? (Your calculator may give you an answer in Scientific Notation, ask if you need explanations about the notation.)arrow_forward
