Chapter 1.6, Problem 9E
For each of these collections of premises, what relevant conclusion or conclusions can be drawn? Explain the rules of inference used to obtain each conclusion from the premises.
a) "If I take the day off, it either or snows." "I took Tuesday off or I took Thursday off." "It was sunny on Tuesday." "It did not snow on Thursday."
b) "If I eat spicy foods, then I have strange "I have strange if there is thunder while I sleep." "I did not have strange dreams."
c) "I am either clever or lucky." "I am not lucky." "If l am lucky, then I will win the lottery."
d) "Every computer science major has a personal computer." "Ralph does not have a personal computer." "Ann has a personal computer."
e) “What is good for corporations is good for the United States." “What is good for the United States is good for you." "What is good for corporations is for you to buy lots of stuff."
f) "All rodents gnaw their food." "Mice are rodents." "Rabbits do not gnaw their food." "Bats are not rodents."

The graph of f(x) is given below. Select each true statement about the continuity of f(x) at x = 1.
Select all that apply:
☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because it is not defined at x = 1.
☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) does not exist.
x+1
☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) ‡ f(1).
x+→1
☐ f(x) is continuous at x = 1.
2. Consider the following argument:
(a)
Seabiscuit is a thoroughbred.
Seabiscuit is very fast.
Every very fast racehorse can win the race.
.. Therefore, some thoroughbred racehorse can win the race.
Let us define the following predicates, whose domain is racehorses:
T(x) x is a thoroughbred
F(x) x is very fast
R(x) x can win the race
:
Write the above argument in logical symbols using these predicates.
(b)
Prove the argument using the rules of inference. Do not make use of conditional
proof.
(c)
Rewrite the proof using full sentences, avoiding logical symbols. It does not
need to mention the names of rules of inference, but a fellow CSE 16 student should be
able to understand the logical reasoning.
