A. Determine the negation of the following statements. Write only your answers on your answer sheets.

1. Some students have calculators. ( All student doesn’t have their own calculator )

2. 9 + 2 ≤ 8.

3. All animals have wings. ( Some animals doesn’t have wings )

4. Some triangles are not squares. ( All triangles is square )

5. Four is a prime number.

B. Using truth tables, determine if each of the following compound propositions is a tautology, contingency, or
contradiction.

1. (¬p ∨ q) ∧ ¬(p ∨ ¬q)

2. (p ∨ ¬q) ∧ [(r ∧ ¬p) ∨ (q → ¬r)]

C. Use Euler circle to test the validity of the following arguments. Do not copy the given on your answer

sheet.

1. All cats are animals. A human is not an animal. Therefore, a human is not a cat.

2. All lions are fierce. Some lions do not drink coffee. Therefore, some creatures that drink coffee

are not fierce.

3. Some odd numbers are positive. Some positive numbers are real. Therefore, some odd numbers

are real.

D. Determine if the following form of an argument is valid or not. If the given standard form is in one of the common
forms of valid and invalid arguments discussed in the video lectures uploaded, indicate the law or fallacy used for
each. You do not have to copy each given on your answer sheet, just write valid or invalid and state the law or fallacy
that will support your answer.

1. [(q ∨ p) ∧ ¬p] → q

2. [(q → p) ∧ ¬p] → ¬q

3. [(s → m) ∧ s] → m

4. [(j → y) ∧ ¬j] → ¬y

5. [(c ∨ u) ∧ c] → ¬u

6. [(b → e) ∧ e] → b

E. Let U = (−∞,∞) be the universal set and M = (−6, 5) and W = [−3, 9). In interval notation, determine the following.

1. M ∪ W

2. M ∩ W

3. M − W

4. W − M
F. Let U = {x|x is a lowercase letter in the English alphabet} be the universal set. In roster method

and in alphabetical order of arrangement of elements, determine the following sets.

1. B = {x ∈ U|x is in the word broadcasting}

2. E = {x ∈ U|x is in the word students}

3. A = {x ∈ U|x is in the word arguments}

4. B ∩ E

5. A ∪ E

6. B − A

7. E × E
