Math Problem Statement

Semesta pembicaraan adalah himpunan bilangan 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Tentukan nilai logika kalimat-kalimat berikut: (a) (∃x) x + 1 < 5, (b) (∀x) x ≤ 5, (c) (∀x) x + 4 < 10.

Solution

The problem you provided is asking to determine the truth values of three logical propositions involving the set of numbers {1,2,3,4,5}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}. Let's analyze each statement.

The universe of discourse is the set {1,2,3,4,5}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}.

  1. (a) (x)x+1<5(\exists x) \, x + 1 < 5
    This statement is asking if there exists an xx in the set {1,2,3,4,5}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\} such that x+1<5x + 1 < 5.

    We will test each element:

    • For x=1x = 1: 1+1=21 + 1 = 2, and 2<52 < 5.
    • For x=2x = 2: 2+1=32 + 1 = 3, and 3<53 < 5.
    • For x=3x = 3: 3+1=43 + 1 = 4, and 4<54 < 5.
    • For x=4x = 4: 4+1=54 + 1 = 5, and 555 \not< 5.
    • For x=5x = 5: 5+1=65 + 1 = 6, and 656 \not< 5.

    Therefore, at least one xx satisfies the condition (in fact, x=1,2,3x = 1, 2, 3 all work). So the statement is true.

  2. (b) (x)x5(\forall x) \, x \leq 5
    This statement asserts that for all xx in the set {1,2,3,4,5}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}, x5x \leq 5.

    Testing all elements:

    • 151 \leq 5
    • 252 \leq 5
    • 353 \leq 5
    • 454 \leq 5
    • 555 \leq 5

    All elements satisfy the condition, so the statement is true.

  3. (c) (x)x+4<10(\forall x) \, x + 4 < 10
    This statement asserts that for all xx in the set {1,2,3,4,5}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}, x+4<10x + 4 < 10.

    We will test each element:

    • For x=1x = 1: 1+4=51 + 4 = 5, and 5<105 < 10.
    • For x=2x = 2: 2+4=62 + 4 = 6, and 6<106 < 10.
    • For x=3x = 3: 3+4=73 + 4 = 7, and 7<107 < 10.
    • For x=4x = 4: 4+4=84 + 4 = 8, and 8<108 < 10.
    • For x=5x = 5: 5+4=95 + 4 = 9, and 9<109 < 10.

    All elements satisfy the condition, so the statement is true.

Summary:

  • (a) is true.
  • (b) is true.
  • (c) is true.

Would you like more details on any specific part? Here are some related questions for practice:

  1. How would the truth value of (a) change if the universe of discourse was {3,4,5}\{3, 4, 5\}?
  2. What would happen to statement (b) if we changed the upper bound to 4?
  3. How would statement (c) change if we modified the expression to x+49x + 4 \leq 9?
  4. How can we express (b) in negation form?
  5. Can we generalize the truth of (b) and (c) for larger sets like {1,2,,10}\{1, 2, \ldots, 10\}?

Tip: In logic, testing the truth of quantified statements often involves verifying examples for existential quantifiers and checking all cases for universal quantifiers.
