The Fitch system makes use of these rules. A summary of the rules of natural deduction is given on pages 573 to 578 of your textbook. Consult this when you do this question. Remember that De Morgan’s laws and other tautologies are not permissible natural deduction rules. You are also not allowed to use Taut Con, Ana Con or FO Con. It is important to number your statements, to indicate subproofs and at each step to give the rule that you are using. Hint: If you have access to a computer, take advantage of the fact and use Fitch. 5.1 (Formally) prove that the following two premises are contradictory: 4 1.x Clever(x) 2.x  Clever(x) (6)COS2661/105/0/2024 5.2 Using the natural deduction rules, give a formal proof of: ∀x∀y(Ixy→ Iyx) ∴ ∀x∀y(Ixy ↔ Iyx ) 5.3 (12) Construct a proof for the argument: ∀x∀y∀z[(Sxy ∧ Syz) → Sxz], ∀x¬Sxx ∴ ∀x∀y(Sxy → ¬Syx) 5.4 (13) Construct a proof for the argument: ∀x∃yRxy ∀x∀y(Rxy→∃zRzx), ∀x∀y(Ryx→∀zRxz) ∴∀x∀yRxy

, QUESTION 1 In this question you have to translate sentences of English
sentences into First-Order Logic, using the predicates and names given
in Table 1

1.1 Nothing to the left of Tabiso is larger than everything to the left of
Tafara.
¬∃x (LeftOf(x, Tabiso) ∧ ∀y (LeftOf(y, Tafara) → Larger(x, y)))

1.2 Anything to the left of Tabiso is smaller than something that is in
back of every pet to the right of Tafara.
∀x (LeftOf(x, Tabiso) → ∃y (Pet(y) ∧ RightOf(Tafara, y) ∧ BackOf(y, z) ∧ Smaller(x, z)))

1.3 Every student gave a pet to some other student sometime or other.
∀x (Student(x) → ∃y ∃z (Student(y) ∧ Pet(z) ∧ x ≠ y ∧ Gave(x, z, y)))

1.4 No student fed every pet.
¬∃x (Student(x) ∧ ∀y (Pet(y) → Fed(x, y)))

1.5 If Tabiso ever gave Tafara a pet, she owned it then, and he didn’t.
∃z (Pet(z) ∧ Gave(Tabiso, z, Tafara) → (Own(Tafara, z) ∧ ¬Own(Tabiso, z)))


Question 2

2.1 ∀x (¬∃y FrontOf(y, x) → Large(x))
If nothing is in front of something, then that thing is large.

2.2 ∀x ((Student(x) ∧ ∃y (Pet(y) ∧ LeftOf(x, y))) → Own(x, y))
Every student who has a pet to their left owns that pet.

2.3 ∀x∀y ((Between(tafara, x, y) ∧ x ≠ y) → (Small(x) ∧ Small(y)))
If Tafara is between two distinct objects, then both objects are small.


2.4 ∀x ((Pet(x) ∧ ∀y ¬BackOf(y, z))→¬∃z (Pet(z) ∧ x ≠ z ∧ Smaller(x, z))
If a pet has nothing behind it, then there is no other pet smaller than it.


2.5 ∃x∃y [Student(x) ∧ Student(y) ∧ x ≠ y ∧ ∀z(Student(z) → (z = x ˅ z
= y)) ∧ Smart(x) ∧ Smart(y)]
There are two distinct students who are the only smart students in the group.
