Consider the following open propositions over the universe U = {− 4,−2, 0, 1, 3, 5, 6,
8, 10}
P(x): x ≥ 4
Q(x): x 2 = 25
R(x): s is a multiple of 2
Find on a single truth table the truth-values of the following.
i. P(x ) ∧ R (x )
ii. [~ Q(x )] ∧ P(x )]

Please note that according to https://mathhelpboards.com/rules/ 11 you are expected to explain your attempts at solving the problem or describe your difficulty. At the very least please make sure that the problem statement is typed correctly and not simply copied, which results in formulas like "x 2 = 25", which don't make sense. And what is $s$ in "$s$ is a multiple of 2" since it is supposed to be the definition of $R(x)$?

Truth tables are not usually used in predicate logic, but since the universe is finite, their use makes sense here. I assume the table should look like this (I use 0 for false and 1 for true).
\[
\begin{array}{r|c|c|c|c|c}
x & P(x) & Q(x) & R(x) & P(x)\land R(x) & \neg Q(x)\land P(x)\\
\hline
-4&0&&1&0&\\
-2&0&&1&0&\\
0&0&&1&0&\\
1&0&&0&0&\\
3&0&&0&0&\\
5&1&&&&\\
6&&&&&\\
8&&&&&\\
10&&&&&
\end{array}
\]
Try filling the rest of the table.
 
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...
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...
