Section 17
f) Doctors who respect all of their patients will be liked and respected by them all
(x)(__ ⊃ __)
x is a doctor who respects all of his/her patients:
Dx • (y)(Pyx ⊃ Rxy)
x will be liked and respected by all of his/her patients:
(y)(Pyx ⊃ (Ryx • Lyx))
(x)((Dx • (y)(Pyx ⊃ Rxy)) ⊃ (y)(Pyx ⊃ (Ryx • Lyx)))
(w)(Pwx ⊃ (Rwx • Lwx))
I know... what the fuck, right? Welcome to my life. And don't even get me started on the proofs. Sweet monkey crapfuck they confuse me:
(x)((Qx ν Wx) ⊃ (Ex • Rx)
(x)((Ex ν Rx) ⊃ (Qx • Wx)
/∴ (x)(Qx ≡ Rx)
shouldn't be too hard: if you use biconditional exchange then the conclusion should easily translate into:
(Qx ⊃ Rx) • (Rx ⊃ Qx)
and that's all well and good... but how the fuck do I get there from the two premises? That's what I want to know...Meh, well... I'll ask Will for a hand when he gets off work - he's got one hell of a logical mind ( he's a future lawyer, so naturally his brain is well-suited for logic. He took a practice LSAT without studying anything last semester and got a 167 out of 180 on it).
And I still have tomorrow's class period and all of tomorrow afternoon to take care of it... hopefully it'll make a bit more sense.
Wish me luck blogosphere! If I don't pass this class I will be severely ticked off at the universe... I'm so close to being done with math!
