The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384322 b.c.e.) studied under Plato and tutored Alexander the Great. His studies of logic influenced philosophers for hundreds of years. His four perfect syllogisms are identified by the names given them by medieval scholars. For each, formulate the argument in predicate logic notation and then provide a proof. a. Barbara All M are P All S are M Therefore all S are P b. Celarent No M are P All S are M Therefore no S are P c. Darii All M are P Some S are M Therefore some S are P d. Ferio No M are P Some S are M Therefore some S are not P

Some plants are flowers. All flowers smell sweet. Therefore, some plants smell sweet. P(x), F(x), S(x)

Every crocodile is bigger than every alligator. Sam is a crocodile. But there is a snake, and Sam isnt bigger than the snake. Therefore, something is not an alligator. C(x), A(x), B(x, y), s, S(x)

Prove that [(4x)A(x)] 4 (E x)[A(x)] is valid. (Hint: Instead of a proof sequence, use Example 32 and substitute equivalent expressions.)

The equivalence of Exercise 43 says that if it is false that every element of the domain has property A, then some element of the domain fails to have property A, and vice versa. The element that fails to have property A is called a counterexample to the assertion that every element has property A. Thus a counterexample to the assertion (4x)(x is odd) in the domain of integers is the number 10, an even integer. (Of course, there are lots of other counterexamples to this assertion.) Find counterexamples in the domain of integers to the following assertions. (An integer x > 1 is prime if the only factors of x are 1 and x.) a. (4x)(x is negative) b. (4x)(x is the sum of even integers) c. (4x)(x is prime S x is odd) d. (4x)(x prime S (1)x = 1) e. (4x)(x prime S 2x 1 is prime)
