Exercise A

Avg difficulty 3.0

Identify which variables are bound and which are free.

  1. ∃x L(x‾,y‾)∧∀y L(y‾,x‾)\exists x\,L(\underline{x},\overline{y})\wedge\forall y\,L(\underline{y},\overline{x})

  2. ∀x A(x‾)∧B(x‾)\forall x\,A(\underline{x})\wedge B(\overline{x})

  3. ∀x(A(x‾)∧B(x‾))∧∀y(C(x‾)∧D(y‾))\forall x(A(\underline{x})\wedge B(\underline{x}))\wedge\forall y(C(\overline{x})\wedge D(\underline{y}))

  4. ∀x∃y[R(x‾,y‾)→(J(z‾)∧K(x‾))]∨R(y‾,x‾)\forall x\exists y[R(\underline{x},\underline{y})\rightarrow(J(\overline{z})\wedge K(\underline{x}))]\vee R(\overline{y},\overline{x})

  5. ∀x1(M(x2‾)↔L(x2‾,x1‾))∧∃x2 L(x3‾,x2‾)\forall x_{1}(M(\overline{x_{2}})\leftrightarrow L(\overline{x_{2}},\underline{x_{1}}))\wedge\exists x_{2}\,L(\overline{x_{3}},\underline{x_{2}})
