Hello guys,

I have a question regarding mathematical logic that I'm stuck on. Here it is:

T = { (5,9), (4,9), (5,7), (6,5), (5,5), (6,3), (7,1), (6,1), (5,1), (4,1), (3,1), (2,1), (1,1), (0,1) }
F = { (5,4), (6,8 ), (2,11), (4,13), (8,1), (1,0) }

1) Make a simple open statement P(x,y) so (x,y) in T -> P(x,y) and (x,y) in F -> !P(x,y). Use only domain N, comparison operators (<, =, >), operations (+, -) and logical notation and don't use T or F in P.

2) Find an example (x,y) !in T so that P(x,y) and an example (x,y) !in F so that !P(x,y).

My thoughts:

1) I can't think of any general equation or formula so that T is true and F is false, but using cases I may be able to find something. Don't think I can use cases though because there's just too many... Next thing I did was look for patterns but I can't seem to find anything different from T and F. For T, 2x+y <= 19 and x+y <= 14 and -5 <= x-y <= 6 for all sets in T, but when we look at the sets in F, some of those sets satisfy the equations from T.. basically, NOT all of the sets in F are false, some are true.. what can i do to ensure all sets in T are true and all sets in F are false?

2) ?

My 2 cents :
1>
find the equation of the line that passes through all the points in T but not through any point in F.Let this function be f(x,y)
P(x,y) : (x,y) is a point in f(x,y)

Well, I don't know how simple your statement has to be but you could separate the points by regions (graphing them would help). You'd probably have to use five or six lines.
 
im not sure what you mean by graphing them.. i put all the coordinates on a x/y graph, connected them with a line..
 
after connecting all the sets of coordinates of T with a line, the line isn't even straight.. can't find the slope..
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
