Question

Using the predicate symbols shown and appropriate quantifiers, write each English language statement as a predicate wff. (The domain is the whole world.) B(x): x is a ball R(x): x is round S(x): x is a soccer ball a. All balls are round. b. Not all balls are soccer balls. c. All soccer balls are round. d. Some balls are not round. e. Some balls are round but soccer balls are not. f. Every round ball is a soccer ball. g. Only soccer balls are round balls. h. If soccer balls are round, then all balls are round.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 1.3 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Using the predicate symbols shown and appropriate quantifiers, write each English language statement as a predicate wff. (The domain is the whole world.) B(x): x is a ball R(x): x is round S(x): x is a soccer ball a. All balls are round. b. Not all balls are soccer balls. c. All soccer balls are round. d. Some balls are not round. e. Some balls are round but soccer balls are not. f. Every round ball is a soccer ball. g. Only soccer balls are round balls. h. If soccer balls are round, then all balls are round.
From the textbook chapter Quantifiers, Predicates, and Validity you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
