Let X be Z or Q and define a logical formula p by ∀x ∈ X, ∃y ∈ X, (x < y ∧ [∀z ∈ X, ¬(x < z ∧ z < y)]).
Describe what p asserts about the set X. Find the maximally negated logical formula equivalent to ¬p. Prove that p is true when X = Z and false when X = Q
Given statement , .
Now ,
That is does not lies between and .
So asserts , " For any number in there is a number in bigger than it and there is no number between them " .
While we negate an statement is been always replaced by and is beenreplaced by that is negation of is and negation of is .
Hence the negation of the given statement is ,
If .
For each integer if we choose then and therre is no integer between and as there is no integer between and .
So the statement is true for
If
Suppose then for any choosen such that . there will a rational number between and as between any two rational number there is an rational number . Explicitly we can choose then the condition will not be satisfies and so the statement is not true for .
