Determine the truth value of each of these statements if the domain consists of all integers. a) ∀n(n + 1 > n) b) ∃n(2n = 3n) c) ∃n(n = −n) d) ∀n(3n ≤ 4n)
a) The statement ∀n(n + 1 n) is true for all integers. For any integer n, adding 1 to it will always result in a number greater than n. Thus, for all integers in the domain, this statement holds true.
b) The statement ∃n(2n = 3n) is false. There does not exist an integer n such that n is equal to 3n. This can be verified by picking any integer and observing that the left-hand side is never equal to the right-hand side.
c) The statement ∃n(n = −n) is true. An example of such an integer n is 0, where n is to its additive inverse, −n.
d) The statementn(3n ≤ 4n) is true. For any integer n, multiplying 3 by n will always result in a number less than or equal to 4 multiplied by n. Therefore, this statement is true for all integers in the domain.
For each of these statements find a domain for which the statement is true and a domain for which the statement is false. a) Everyone is studying discrete mathematics. b) Everyone is older than 21 years. c) Every two people have the same mother. d) No two different people have the same grandmother.
