Expressing statements in terms of predicates and quantifiers

70 Views Asked by At

Given two sets:

A={ Me, Ve, Ea, Ma, Jup, Sat, Ura, Nep} ;

B={Eu, Io, Dei, Fo}.

I need to express the following statements in terms of predicates and quantifiers:

(a) There is a planet that does not orbit the sun;

(b) All planets and their moons orbit the sun;

(C) Not all moons that orbit the sun orbit Mars.

In my textbook there is no similar problem so I don't know how to solve it.

I was thinking that if P(x)is the statement "x orbits the sun", then (a) becomes

$\exist x\in A(\neg P(x))$.

For (b) I think it is

$\forall x\in A\cup B P(x)$.

Then if Q(x,y) is x orbits y for (c) we have

$(\neg \forall x\in B)( Q(x, Sun))(Q(x, Mars)).$

Am i right??
