could anyone show me to do this problem. i thinks its false, but i can\'t pen a good soltuion?
State whether each item is true or false, and give a brief reason. If the statement is false, your reason should be a counterexample.
For any statements P(x) and Q(x) depending on a variable x, the statement “(x, P(x)) or (x, Q(x)” is equivalent to “x,(P(x) or Q(x))”.
Solution
This statement is false;
because;
statement 1 SAYS
(for all x,P(x)) or (for all x,Q(x))
IS Not equivalent to (for all x, P(x) or P(x));
suppose there are x1,x2,x3.. etc;
FIRST statement says;
P(x1) or P(x1);
P(x1) or P(x2);
P(x1) or P(x3);
:
:
P(x2) or P(x1);
P(x2) or P(x2);
P(x2) or P(x3);
:
:
etc;
But second stament says;
P(x1) or P(x1);
P(x2) or P(x2);
P(x3) or P(x3);
P(x4) or P(x4);
