Question

Put these statements into our formal language. Recall that capital letters stand for the unnegated statements. If the statement is ambiguous, provide the alternative symbolizations.

1) It is sufficient for the (W)orld to become worse off that it become further (O)verpopulated.

2) The (F)ungs will come just in case the (V)aniers do, but if the Vaniers do come then the (K)azmis will not come.

3) That our first-string (Q)uarterback play is a sufficient condition for the (G)ame being an interesting one; however; it is not a necessary condition for the game to be interesting that he play.

Example: If I don't do well on this (E)xam, I will (F)ail. Translates to: ~E-->F

Explanation / Answer

The first statement would become

O --> ~W

where negation signifies that world has become worse off

The second statement would be

V --> (F^~K)

This implies if V is true then F and not(K) will be true as F will be coming and K will not be coming

Q3

Q --> G

as Q plays the game no matter whether it is interesting or not but the game will be interesting if Q plays
