Hi, I don't know how to prove ((Ǝx) F(x) →(Ǝx) (G(x)) with conditional proof from:
((Ǝx) F(x) → (∀z) H(z))
H(a) →G(b)
Thanks
((Ǝx) F(x) → (∀z) H(z))
H(a) →G(b)
Thanks
Conditional proof for multiple quantifier is a logical method used to prove a conditional statement that contains multiple quantifiers, such as "for all" or "there exists." It involves assuming the antecedent of the conditional statement and deriving the consequent under that assumption.
Regular conditional proof only involves a single quantifier, while conditional proof for multiple quantifier deals with more than one quantifier. This means that in conditional proof for multiple quantifier, we have to make assumptions for each quantifier and derive the consequent accordingly.
Conditional proof for multiple quantifier allows us to prove complex conditional statements that involve multiple quantifiers in a systematic and organized way. It also helps us to better understand the relationship between the quantifiers and the consequent of the conditional statement.
Yes, there are certain restrictions when using conditional proof for multiple quantifier. The antecedent of the conditional statement must be a conjunction of the quantifiers, and the consequent must be a conditional statement with the same quantifiers. Additionally, the scope of each quantifier must be clearly defined.
Yes, conditional proof for multiple quantifier can be used in all logical systems that allow for the use of quantifiers and conditional statements. It is a universally applicable method in logic and is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and philosophy.
