Here's the Solution to this Question

Let Q(x) be the statement “x + 1 > 2x ”. If the domain consists of all integers, let us find the following truth values.


a) Since 1>0, we get that 𝑄(0) is true.


b) Taking into account that it is not true that 0>-2, we get that 𝑄(-1) is false.


c) Taking into account that it is not true that 2>2, we get that 𝑄(1) is false.


d) Since 1>0, we get that 𝑄(0) is true, and hence ∃𝑥𝑄(𝑥) is true.


e) Taking into account that it is not true that 0>-2, we get that 𝑄(-1) is false, and hence ∀𝑥𝑄(𝑥) is false.


f) Since it is not true that 2>2, we get that 𝑄(1) is false. Therefore, \neg 𝑄(1) is true, and thus ∃𝑥¬𝑄(𝑥) is true.


g) Since 1>0, we get that 𝑄(0) is true. We conclude that \neg 𝑄(0) is false, and hence ∀𝑥¬𝑄(𝑥) is false.
