If $P(x,y)$ means that $x$ is perpendicular to $y$. And $Q(x,y)$ means that $x$ is parallel to $y$, how wrong is the following written in predicate logic:
Every $x$ is perpendicular to $y$. In predicate: "$\forall x, \forall y \in P(x,y)$"
There exists $y$ that is parallel to $x$. In predicate: "For $x$ there $\exists y\in Q(x,y)$"
I know that the upper aren't totally correct. My question is how wrong are they?
Literally: $∀x\:P(x,y).$ Here, the variable $y$ appears to be free.
(On the other hand, “Every $x$ is perpendicular to every $y”$ translates as $∀x∀y\:P(x,y).\,)$
Your suggestion just reads as “For each $(x,y)$ couple for which $P$ is true...”.
Both $P(a,b)$ and $(a,b){\in}P$ mean that $(a,b)$ satisfies $P(x,y).$
Literally: $∃y\:Q(y,x).$
