Let c(x) be the statement "x has a cat," let d(x) be the statement "x has a dog," and let f(x) be the statement "x has a ferret." express each of these statements in terms of c(x), d(x), f(x), quantifiers, and logical connectives. let the domain consist of all students in your class. a) a student in your class has a cat, a dog, and a ferret. b) all students in your class have a cat, a dog, or a ferret. c) some student in your class has a cat and a ferret, but not a dog. d) no student in your class has a cat, a dog, and a ferret. e) for each of the three animals, cats, dogs, and ferrets, there is a student in your class who has this animal as a pet.

$\mathbf{a)} \left( \exists x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \wedge \; D(x) \; \wedge \; F(x)\\\mathbf{b)} \left( \forall x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \vee \; D(x) \; \vee \; F(x)\\\mathbf{c)} \left( \exists x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \wedge \; F(x) \; \wedge \left(\neg \; D(x) \right)\\\mathbf{d)} \left( \forall x \in X\right) \; \neg C(x) \; \vee \; \neg D(x) \; \vee \; \neg F(x)\\\mathbf{e)} \left((\exists x\in X)C(x) \right) \wedge \left((\exists x\in X) D(x) \right) \wedge \left((\exists x\in X) F(x) \right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be a set of all students in your class. The set is the domain. Denote

$C(x) - ' \text{$x $ has a cat}'\\D(x) - ' \text{$x$ has a dog}'\\F(x) - ' \text{$x$ has a ferret}'$

$\mathbf{a)}$

Consider the statement 'A student in your class has a cat, a dog, and a ferret'. This means that $\exists x \in X$ so that all three statements C(x), D(x) and F(x) are true. We can express that in terms of C(x), D(x) and F(x) using quantifiers, and logical connectives as follows

$\left( \exists x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \wedge \; D(x) \; \wedge \; F(x)$

$\mathbf{b)}$

Consider the statement 'All students in your class have a cat, a dog, or a ferret.' This means that $\forall x \in X$ at least one of the statements C(x), D(x) and F(x) is true. We can express that in terms of C(x), D(x) and F(x) using quantifiers, and logical connectives as follows

$\left( \forall x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \vee \; D(x) \; \vee F(x)$

$\mathbf{c)}$

Consider the statement 'Some student in your class has a cat and a ferret, but not a dog.' This means that $\exists x \in X$ so that the statements C(x), F(x) are true and the negation of the statement D(x) . We can express that in terms of C(x), D(x) and F(x) using quantifiers, and logical connectives as follows

$\left( \exists x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \wedge \; F(x) \; \wedge \left(\neg \; D(x) \right)$

$\mathbf{d)}$

Consider the statement 'No student in your class has a cat, a dog, and a ferret..' This means that $\forall x \in X$ none of the statements C(x), D(x) and F(x) are true. We can express that in terms of C(x), D(x) and F(x) using quantifiers, and logical connectives as a negation of the statement in the part a), as follows

$\neg \left( \left( \exists x \in X\right) \; C(x) \; \wedge \; D(x) \; \wedge \; F(x)\right) \iff \left( \forall x \in X\right) \; \neg C(x) \; \vee \; \neg D(x) \; \vee \; \neg F(x)$

$\mathbf{e)}$

Consider the statement ' For each of the three animals, cats, dogs, and ferrets, there is a student in your class who has this animal as a pet.'

This means that for each of the statements C, F and D there is an element from the domain so that each statement holds true.

We can express that in terms of C(x), D(x) and F(x) using quantifiers, and logical connectives as follows

$\left((\exists x\in X)C(x) \right) \wedge \left((\exists x\in X) D(x) \right) \wedge \left((\exists x\in X) F(x) \right)$

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
