Question
Please help me with this. I am having trouble understanding how to do this
Use the rules of inference to show that if Væ(P(x) VQ(x)) and Vx((-P(x) ^ Q(x))→ R(x)) are true, then
Vr(-R(x) P(x)) is also true, where the domains of all quantifiers are the same.
Construct your argument by rearranging the following building blocks.
1. We will show that if the premises are true, then (R(a) →→ P(a)) for every a.
00000000
2. Suppose R(a) is true for some a.
3. For such an a, universal modus tollens applied to the second premise gives us (P(a)^Q(a)).
By universal generalization, we get,
P(a) v Q(a).
Vx (R(x)→ P(x)).
Applying the rules of De Morgan's law on
(~P(a) ^ Q(a)).
This is logically equivalent to P(a).
