Find the truth set for the following predicates answer shoul
Find the truth set for the following predicates: (answer should be a {set}
Solution
A predicate is an asset that a finite collection of variables can contain. A predicate become a scheme when particular values are assign to the variables. P(x1, x2,... xn) is called a predicate of n variables or n arguments.
A)
N- Natural Numbers All +ve integers starting from 1
If P(x) is a predicate
x has domain N,
Truth set of P(x) is the set of all elements t of N
Such that P (t) is true,
i.e. {t U|P (t) is true}
N= {1, 2, 3.......N-1, N}
P(X) = 8/X
TRUTH SET= {1, 2, 4, 8}
B)
Z- Integers all integers +ve and -ve
z= {-inf...-2,-1,...0, 1, 2 }
P(X) = 8<=P^3<=125
TRUTH SET= {2,3,4,5}
