Math Problem Statement

Donner la négation des propositions suivantes : 1. ∀x ∈ ℝ : -1 ≤ (2x / (x^2 + 1)) ≤ 1. 2. ∃(x, y, z) ∈ ℝ³ : (x + 1)/7 = (y - 5)/2 = z/13. 3. ∀x ∈ ℝ : x² ∈ ℚ ⇒ x ∈ ℚ.

Solution

The exercise is asking for the negation of the following propositions:

  1. Proposition r: xR,12xx2+11.\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, -1 \leq \frac{2x}{x^2+1} \leq 1.

  2. Proposition p: (x,y,z)R3:x+17=y52=z13.\exists (x, y, z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : \frac{x+1}{7} = \frac{y-5}{2} = \frac{z}{13}.

  3. Proposition q: xR,x2QxQ.\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, x^2 \in \mathbb{Q} \Rightarrow x \in \mathbb{Q}.

Now, let's provide the negations for each:


Negation of r:

The original statement is: xR,12xx2+11.\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, -1 \leq \frac{2x}{x^2 + 1} \leq 1. The negation would be: xR such that (2xx2+1<1) or (2xx2+1>1).\exists x \in \mathbb{R} \text{ such that } \left( \frac{2x}{x^2 + 1} < -1 \right) \text{ or } \left( \frac{2x}{x^2 + 1} > 1 \right). This means there exists at least one xx where the inequality is not satisfied.


Negation of p:

The original statement is: (x,y,z)R3:x+17=y52=z13.\exists (x, y, z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : \frac{x+1}{7} = \frac{y-5}{2} = \frac{z}{13}. The negation would be: (x,y,z)R3,x+17y52 or y52z13.\forall (x, y, z) \in \mathbb{R}^3, \frac{x+1}{7} \neq \frac{y-5}{2} \text{ or } \frac{y-5}{2} \neq \frac{z}{13}. This means for all possible triples (x,y,z)(x, y, z), the equality does not hold.


Negation of q:

The original statement is: xR,x2QxQ.\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, x^2 \in \mathbb{Q} \Rightarrow x \in \mathbb{Q}. The negation would be: xR such that x2Q and xQ.\exists x \in \mathbb{R} \text{ such that } x^2 \in \mathbb{Q} \text{ and } x \notin \mathbb{Q}. This means there exists some real number xx such that x2x^2 is rational, but xx itself is not rational.


Do you want further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might explore:

  1. How do logical quantifiers affect negation?
  2. Can you find an example where 2xx2+1\frac{2x}{x^2 + 1} exceeds the given bounds?
  3. What is the geometric meaning of the system of equations in proposition pp?
  4. Can you think of a real number whose square is rational but the number itself is not?
  5. How does negating a mathematical implication PQP \Rightarrow Q differ from negating conjunctions or disjunctions?

Tip: To negate a statement involving "for all" (\forall) or "there exists" (\exists), always remember that these switch roles during negation: \forall becomes \exists and \exists becomes \forall.
