问题2:陈述以下各陈述的相反和对立:
(i)p:一个正整数只有在除以1和本身以外没有除数时才是质数。
解决方案:
Statement p can be understood as follows.
If a positive integer is prime, then it has no divisors other than 1 and itself.
The converse of the statement is as follows.
If a positive integer has no divisor other than 1 and itself, then it is prime.
The contrapositive of the statement is as follows.
If positive integer has divisor other than 1 and itself, then it is not prime.
(ii)问:每当晴天时,我都会去海滩。
解决方案:
The given statement can be understood as follows.
If it is a sunny day, then I go to a beach.
The converse of the statement is as follows.
If I go to a beach, then it is a sunny day.
The contrapositive of the statement is as follows.
If I do not go to a beach, then it is not a sunny day.
(iii)r:如果外面很热,那么您会感到口渴。
解决方案:
The converse of statement r is as follows.
If you feel thirsty, then it is hot outside.
The contrapositive of statement r is as follows.
If you do not feel thirsty, then it is not hot outside.
问题3:以“如果p,则q”的形式编写每个语句。
(i)p:必须具有密码才能登录到服务器。
解决方案:
p: If you have a password, then you can log on to the server.
(ii)问:下雨时交通堵塞。
解决方案:
q: If it rains, then there is a traffic jam.
(iii)r:只有支付订阅费,您才能访问该网站。
解决方案:
r: If you pay the subscription fee, then you can access the website.
问题4:当且仅当q时,将以下每个语句重写为“ p”形式。
(i)p:如果您看电视,那么您的思想是自由的,如果您的思想是免费的,那么您就看电视。
解决方案:
p: You watch television if and only if your mind is free.
(ii)问:要获得A级成绩,有必要定期做所有作业。
解决方案:
q: You get an A grade if and only if you do all the homework regularly.
(iii)r:如果四边形是等角的,那么它是一个矩形,如果四边形是矩形的,那么它是等角的。
解决方案:
r: A quadrilateral is equiangular if and only if it is a rectangle.
问题5:以下是两个陈述
p:25是5的倍数。
q:25是8的倍数。
编写将这两个语句与“ And”和“ Or”连接起来的复合语句。在这两种情况下,都要检查复合语句的有效性。
解决方案:
The compound statement with ‘And’ is ‘25 is a multiple of 5 and 8′.
This statement is not valid, because 25 is not a multiple of 8.
The compound statement with ‘Or’ is ‘25 is a multiple of 5 or 8’.
This statement is valid, because although 25 is not a multiple of 8, it is a multiple of 5.
问题6:通过针对其的方法检查以下给出的陈述的有效性。
(i)p:无理数和有理数之和是无理的(通过矛盾方法)。
解决方案:
The given statement is,
p: The sum of an irrational number and a rational number is irrational.
Let us assume that the given statement, p, is false. That is, we assume that the sum of an irrational number and
a rational number is rational.
Therefore, √a + b/c = d/e is irrational where a, b, c, d and e are integers.
d/e – b/c is a rational number and √a is an irrational number.
This is a contradiction. So, our assumption is wrong.
Therefore, the sum of an irrational number and a rational number is rational.
Hence, the given statement is valid.
(ii)q:如果n是n> 3的实数,则n 2 > 9(通过矛盾方法)。
解决方案:
The given statement is,
q: If n is a real number with n > 3, then n2 > 9.
Let’s assume that n is a real number with n > 3, but n2 > 9 is false,i.e., n2 < 9.
Then, n > 3 where n is a real number.
Squaring both the sides,
n2 > (3)2
⇒ n2 > 9, which is a contradiction to our assumption that is n2 < 9.
Therefore, the given statement is valid.
问题7:用五种不同的方式写以下语句,传达相同的含义。
p:如果一个三角形是等角的,则它是一个钝角三角形。
解决方案:
The given statement can be written in the following five different ways:
(i) A triangle is equiangular implies that it is obtuse-angled.
(ii) A triangle is equiangular only if it is an obtuse-angled.
(iii) For a triangle to be equiangular, it is necessary that the triangle is obtuse-angled.
(iv) For a triangle to be obtuse-angled, it is sufficient that the triangle is equiangular.
(v) If a triangle is not obtuse-angled, then the triangle can not be equiangular.
