    The contrapositive of Theorem
    Let n be the number of vertices and let e be the number of edges of a
    graph G.
    If e ≠ n − 1, then G is not a tree.
    However, if e = n − 1, G not necessarily to be a tree.
    (The converse is not necessarily true.)

  • @MisterTLion5921
    @MisterTLion5921 3 роки тому

    The could have been proven the almost the same way but with a direct proof, right? First you rewrite the For All statement into a Not Exists and you take away the negation in the body. You then arrive at the same contradiction inside the body of the Not Exists. The exist turns into false but because of Not Exists it turns into true and now the left hand side of the original proposition is always true. Am I missing something?

  • @pcguy619
    @pcguy619 4 роки тому

    Great video. Shouldn't the contradiction be "N is even OR N is odd?" Because the negation of AND is OR? Or am I just being smallbrained?

    • @MisterTLion5921
      @MisterTLion5921 3 роки тому +1

      Well, because it is a contradiction the negation is in front of the "for all" as Dr. Trefor drew. You can then move the negation that is in front of the "for all" inside the body of the "for all" to rewrite the universal (for all) quantifier into an existential quantifier. Because you moved the negation from in front to inside the body you get the following: negation-negation(n is even and n is odd). Now the double negations cancel each other out. You seem to try to reference De Morgan's law where Not(A and B) can be rewritten as Not-A or Not-B.

    Please let me know how to solve this question.
    Translate the following argument into symbolic form and using rules of inference derive
    the conclusion.
    It is not the case that some students are not employees. Furthermore it is not the case
    that some employees are not hard workers. Therefore all students are hard workers.
    b) Consider the following paragraph:
    “Anyone who has catarrh will sneeze. If anyone allergic to animal dander or dust mite
    then they will have catarrh. Maya is allergic to animal dander”
    (i) Write the above paragraph in first order logic and convert them in to conjunctive
    normal form.
    (ii) Using the method of contradiction check whether Maya will sneeze.
