Predicate logic - logically imply












0
















  • Consider the following predicate formulas.



    $F1: forall x exists y ( P(x) to Q(y) ).$



    $F2: exists x forall y ( P(x) to Q(y) ).$



    $F3: forall x P(x) to exists y Q(y).$



    $F4: exists x P(x) to forall y Q(y).$



    Answer the following questions with brief justification.



    (a) Does $F1$ logically imply $F2$?



    (b) Does $F1$ logically imply $F3$?



    (c) Does $F1$ logically imply $F4$?



    (d) Does $F2$ logically imply $F1$?



    (e) Does $F2$ logically imply $F3$?



    (f) Does $F2$ logically imply $F4$?



    (g) Does $F3$ logically imply $F1$?



    (h) Does $F3$ logically imply $F2$?



    (i) Does $F3$ logically imply $F4$?



    (j) Does $F4$ logically imply $F1$?



    (k) Does $F4$ logically imply $F2$?



    (l) Does $F4$ logically imply $F3$?






Logically implies really confuses me. Attempt:



Writing it in English first:



F1: We have that $x$ never satisfies $P$ or there is a $y$ that satisfies $Q$



F2: For some $x$ $P$ isn't satisfied, or $y$ always satisfies $Q$



F3: Some $x$ doesn't satisfy $P$ or some $y$ satisfies $Q$



F4: $x$ never satisfies $P$ or $y$ always satisfies Q



By definition of logically implies: A formula $F$ logically implies a formula $F'$ iff every interpretation that satisfies $F$ satisfies $F'$



So:



(a) So for $F1$ $x$ never satisfies $P$ meaning it'll always be true whereas some $x$ can satisfy P in $F2$, thus this doesn't logically imply.



(b) ... yeah I don't know how to explain any of this - any assistance even tips are appreciated I'm stumped



Apparently $b$ is true I don't get it though.



according to $F1$, $x$ never satisfies $P$ and by prepositional logic of $p to q$ is not p or q.



then $F1$ is always true whereas $F3$ there can exist a P that satisfies Q and some y that doesn't satisfy Q so every interpretation doesn't satisfy? I'm understanding this poorly.
