Prove that the following argument is valid or write a counter-example: All cows are mammals. Some cows have horns. ∴ Some mammals have horns. Valid C(x)= "x is a cow" H(x)= "x has horns" M(x)= "x is a mammal"

1) Suppose ∀𝑥(𝐶(𝑥) → 𝑀(𝑥)) 2) Suppose ∃𝑥(𝐶(𝑥)&𝐻(𝑥)) 3) Show: ∃𝑥(𝑀(𝑥)&𝐻(𝑥)) 4) From line 2, we can let a be such that 𝐶(𝑎)&𝐻(𝑎) is true. 5) From line 1, 𝐶(𝑎) → 𝑀(𝑎). 6) Since we also know that 𝐶(𝑎) is true from line 4, we can conclude 𝑀(𝑎) by modus ponens. 7) Thus, 𝐻(𝑎)&𝑀(𝑎) are both true from lines 4 and 6. 8) ∴ Some mammals have horns, as a is a mammal with horns. Q.E.D.

1) Suppose 𝑃&𝑄 2) Suppose 𝑃 → 𝑅 3) Suppose (𝑃&𝑅) → 𝑆 4) Show: 𝑄&𝑆 5) From line 1, we know P is true. 6) Since 𝑃 → 𝑅 (2), we know 𝑅 is also true. 7) Thus 𝑃&𝑅 are both true 8) But (𝑃&𝑅) → 𝑆 (3), so 𝑆 must be true as well. 9) ∴ 𝑄&𝑆 are both true from lines 1 and 8. Q.E.D.

A. ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝒩,𝑥 ≥ 1 B. ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝒵,𝑥 ∈ ℛ C. (Let Q(x)= "x is rational") ∃𝑥 ∈ ℛ,~𝑄(𝑥) D. (Let P(x)= "x is prime" O(x)= "x is odd", use the set of natural number as your universe for this one) ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝒩 − {2},𝑃(𝑥) → 𝑂(𝑥) ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝒩,𝑥 ≠ 2 → (𝑃(𝑥) → 𝑂(𝑥))

The principle of mathematical induction tells us that: [∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛)] ↔ [𝑃(1)& ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +1)] A. Use the negation rule and DeMorgan's Law to write a negation of: [𝑃(1)& ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +1)] B.Let 𝑃(𝑛) = "I can lift a bag that weighs n milligrams." Write a sentence in the form of your answer to (a) to express that ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛) is false.

A.~𝑃(1)∨∃𝑛 ∈ 𝒩 𝑠.𝑡.[𝑃(𝑛)&~𝑃(𝑛 +1)] B.Either, I can't lift a bag that is 1 milligram, or there exists some natural number n for which I can lift a bag that weighs n milligrams, but cannot lift a bag that weighs n+1 milligrams

Prove that the following argument is valid or show a counter-example: All turtles are reptiles. No turtles are warm blooded. ∴ No Reptiles are warm blooded.

Invalid Set of turtles = {𝑎}, Set of reptiles = {𝑎,𝑏}, Set of warm blooded things = {𝑏} Thus, all turtles are reptiles and no turtles are warm blooded, but the conclusion that no reptiles are warm blooded is false

Prove by PMI that ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,∑ 2𝑖 = n(n+1)

Let P(n)= ∑ 2𝑖 𝑛 𝑖=1 = 𝑛(𝑛 +1) Base case: Show P(1) ∑ 2𝑖 1 𝑖=1 = 2 = 1(1+1), so P(1) is true. Inductive Step: Show ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +1) Assume 𝑘 ∈ 𝒩 𝑠.𝑡.𝑃(𝑘) is true, that is ∑ 2𝑖 𝑘 𝑖=1 = 𝑘(𝑘 +1) We want to show that 𝑃(𝑘 +1) follows. We can add 2(k+1) to both sides to obtain ∑ 2𝑖 𝑘 𝑖=1 +2(𝑘 +1) = 𝑘(𝑘 +1)+2(𝑘 +1) ∴ ∑ 2𝑖 𝑘+1 𝑖=1 = 𝑘2 +𝑘 +2𝑘 +2 = 𝑘2 +3𝑘 +2 ∴ ∑ 2𝑖 𝑘+1 𝑖=1 = (𝑘 +1)(𝑘 +2) The above line is simply 𝑃(𝑘 +1). Thus, we have shown that the truth of P(k) always implies the truth of P(k+1). Thus ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +1) Thus, by PMI, we conclude that ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩,𝑃(𝑛). Q.E.D.

Consider the game of Takeaway in which each player may take either 1 or 2 coins on their turn. Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove the following statement is true for all values of n: "A player who leaves 3n coins may force a win."

Let 𝑃(𝑛) = "𝐴 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑠 3𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒 𝑎 𝑤𝑖𝑛." Show: 𝑃(0), that is "A player who leaves 0 coins may force a win." The rules state that a player who leaves 0 coins, that is takes the last coin, wins. Show: ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩0,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +1) Assume 𝑘 ∈ 𝒩0 has the property that 𝑃(𝑘) is true, that is a player who leaves 3k coins may force a win. Now suppose that a player leaves 3(𝑘 +1) coins. If their opponent takes 1 coin, they can respond by taking 2 coins. If their opponent takes 2 coins, they can respond by taking 1 coin. In either case, they have left 3(𝑘 +1)−3 = 3𝑘 +3−3 = 3𝑘 coins. From this point, our assumption tells us that the player can force a win. Thus, for any value k, if we assume 𝑃(𝑘), we see that 𝑃(𝑘+1) follows, so ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩0,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +1) ∴ By the Principle of mathematical induction we have ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩0,𝑃(𝑛). Q.E.D.

Symbolize the following. You may use sets or propositions (or mix and match as you like), but make sure to define all of your terms: Any shape is a square if and only if it both has four equal sides and four equal angles.

Lots of ways to do this one. One example: Let S be the set of shapes, Q(x)= "x is a square" E(x)= "x has four equal sides" A(x)= "x has four equal angles" ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑆(𝑄(𝑥) ↔ (𝐸(𝑥)&𝐴(𝑥))

Consider the game of Takeaway in which players can take either 1, 3, 4 or 5 coins on each turn. Find the general solution to this game (you don't need to prove it). If the game begins with 282 coins, which player can force a win?

P(n)= "A player can force a win if they can leave 8n or 8n+2 coins." Divide 282 by 8 to obtain 35 remainder 2. So 282 = 35*8 +2. Thus, the second player can force a win. Since the game starts with a number of the form 8n+2, it's as if the second player left that many coins for the first player and so they can force a win.

There are three gladiators with strengths of 3, 4 and 5. When two gladiators fight, the weaker one is killed, while the stronger one's strength is reduced by the value of the weaker one (two gladiators of the same strength will kill each other simultaneously). In this scenario, the strongest gladiator will get to choose their first opponent. After the first fight, the winner will face the remaining gladiator. Prove that the gladiator of strength 5 is a kingmaker.

The gladiator has two choices: Choice 1: They can fight the gladiator with 4 strength. They will win this fight, but be reduced to 1 strength. Then they will be defeated by the gladiator with 3 strength. Choice 2: They can fight the gladiator with 3 strength. They will win this fight, but be reduced to 2 strength. Then they will be defeated by the gladiator with 4 strength. Thus, no matter what choice the gladiator with 5 strength makes, they will lose. However, the choice that they make determines which other gladiator does win.

It is currently the yellow player's turn to place a chip into the Connect 4 Board. Prove that the yellow player can force a win from the position shown below. Notes: For notation, you can call the columns, "column 1," "column 2," etc. where column 1 is the column on the far left and the numbers go from left to right. Also, in a game of connect 4, the chip may be placed in any column with an empty spot and will always fall to the lowest empty spot in a column. A player wins by having four consecutive chips of their color, whether those 4 chips form a row, a column or a diagonal.

The yellow player may force a win as follows: First they place their chip in column 5. Case 1: The red player does not respond by placing in column 5. In none of these cases does the red player get 4 red chips. This allows the yellow player to play in column 5 to connect a row of 5 yellow chips. Case 2: The red player does respond in column 5 Again, the yellow player responds by also playing in column 5. In this case, they connect 4 diagonally. Thus, the yellow player has a winning move available regardless what the red player does and thus can force a win. Q.E.D.

Suppose that you have a propositional function P defined on 𝒩0. You are able to prove two things about P: i) 𝑃(0) is true. Ii) ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝒩0,𝑃(𝑛) → 𝑃(𝑛 +3). For which numbers can you be certain that 𝑃 is true?

We can be certain that P is true for every multiple of 3.

1. If Max is a Martian, then Max is a klug or Max is a charp. All Klugs are bex. Max is not a charp. You can conclude: a. Max is not a Martian, though there is insufficient information to conclude whether or not he is a klug or Bex. b. Max is a Martian, a klug and a Bex. c. Max is neither a Martian nor a klug, but could be a bex. d. There is insufficient information to determine whether or not Max is a Martian. However, if Max is a Martian, then Max is also a klug and a bex.

d. There is insufficient information to determine whether or not Max is a Martian. However, if Max is a Martian, then Max is also a klug and a bex.
