Find a counterexample, if possible, to these universally
Chapter 7, Problem 39E(choose chapter or problem)
Find a counterexample, if possible, to these universally quantified statements, where the domain for all variables consists of all integers.
a) \(\forall x \forall y\left(x^{2}=y^{2} \rightarrow x=y\right)\)
b) \(\forall x \exists y\left(y^{2}=x\right)\)
c) \(\forall x \forall y(x y \geq x)\)
Equation Transcription:
∀x∀y(x2 = y2 → x = y)
∀x∃y(y2 = x)
∀x∀y(xy ≥ x)
