Part A

125 marks
a

Define Quantifiers.

2 marks

Answer

Quantifiers are logical operators used to specify the quantity of elements in a domain that satisfy a given predicate. The Universal Quantifier (∀x P(x)) asserts that P(x) is true for every element x in the domain, while the Existential Quantifier (∃x P(x)) asserts that there exists at least one element x in the domain for which P(x) is true.

b

Show that

(p → r) ∨ (q → r)
and
(p ∨ q) → r
are logically equivalent.

3 marks

Answer

Using logical equivalences:

(p → r) ∨ (q → r) ≡ (¬p ∨ r) ∨ (¬q ∨ r)

By associative and commutative laws:

(¬p ∨ ¬q) ∨ (r ∨ r) ≡ ¬(p ∧ q) ∨ r

By De Morgan's law, ¬(p ∧ q) is equivalent to (¬p ∨ ¬q). Since (¬p ∨ ¬q) ∨ r is the definition of (p ∧ q) → r, the expressions are not equivalent unless the original expression was (p ∧ q) → r. Assuming the standard equivalence (p → r) ∧ (q → r) ≡ (p ∨ q) → r, the distributive law confirms the logical structure.
