Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a university where only some students are enrolled in calculus but everyone else has taken a different course, evaluate the statement: 'If a student is in calculus, they have studied algebra.' How would you express this in predicate logic, and is it logically sound?
💡 Hint: Review the conditions under which the statements remain true.
Analyze the validity of stating 'Some birds can fly and are small' using predicates B(x) for birds and S(x) for small. How does changing this to ∃x (B(x) ∧ S(x)) affect the statement's meaning?
💡 Hint: Consider the difference between stating existence versus universality.
