Predicate logic - are these two formulas equivalent?

54 Views Asked by At

Are these two logical formulas logically equivalent or not? What I am asking is whether these two formulas mean the same thing or not.

(1) ∃x ∀y ((A(x) ∧ B(y)) → ¬C(x, y) )

(2) ∃x (A(x) ∧ ∀y (B(y) → ¬C(x, y) ))

Many thanks in advance
