a. All bytes have eight bits.
b. No irrational numbers are integers.
3-Rewrite each of the following in the form “∃ x such that .”
a. Some real numbers are rational.
b. There is a student in DiscMath.
4-Let D = E = {-2,-1, 0, 1, 2}. Determine whether each of the following
statements is true or false. justify the false.
a. ∀x in D, ∃y in E such that x + y = 0.
b. ∃x in D such that ∀y in E, x + y = y.
c. ∃x in D such that ∀y in E, x ≤ y.
5-Which of the following true (false)? Justify your answer
(R is the set of real numbers)
1. "∀x ϵ R , x2 > x .
2. ∃ x ϵ R , x2 > x
3. "∀x ϵ R , if x >1 then x2 > x .
4. ∃ x ϵ R , if x >1 then x2 > x .
