I'm working on a proof that I cannot manage to solve.
I have as hipothesis
$(\exists x) Fx \implies Ga $
And need to derive
$ (\forall x) (Fx \implies Ga) $
Im pretty confused since I know that the equivalences of the negation of a quantifiers have the bounded variable negated like this:
¬∃x φ is the same as ∀x ¬φ
I cannot see how an existential quantifiers can be used to generate a universal quantifiers with the same propositon.
Can anyone help me understand this deduction?
Your hypothesis is: $$\color{blue}{\big(}(\exists x)Fx\color{blue}{\big)} \to Ga$$
Use Implication Equivalence $A\to B ~\equiv~ \neg A\vee B$ $$\neg\color{blue}{\big(}(\exists x)Fx\color{blue}{\big)}~\vee~Ga$$
Now use Dual Negation, Distribution, then Implication Equivalence again.
