Here's the Solution to this Question

Let P(x) be the statement x^2 > x^4. If the domain consists of the integers, let us find the truth values:


1. Since it is not true that 0>0, we conclude that P(0) =F.

2. Since (-1)^2 =1= (-1)^4, we conclude that P(-1) =F.

3. Since 1^2 =1= 1^4, we conclude that P(1) =F.

4. Since 2^2=4<16=2^4, we conclude that P(2) =F.

5. Since x^2\le x^4 for any integer x, we conclude that ∃xP(x)=F.

6. Since x^2\le x^4 for any integer x, we conclude that ∀xP(x)=F.
