Question 1

What does the universal quantifier (∀x) imply?

  • It refers to at least one element
  • It refers to all elements
  • It excludes elements

💡 Hint: Think of the word 'all'.

Question 2

True or False: The statement ∀x (S(x) → C(x)) means that all students not enrolled in CS201 must have studied calculus.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: What does 'if ... then ...' mean in logic?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
