of positive real numbers. Without using words of negation, for each statement write a sentence that expresses its negation.

a)For all xЄA, there is a bЄB such that b>x
b)There is an xЄA such that, for all bЄB, b>x
c)For all x, yЄR, f(x) = f(y) => x=y
d)For all bЄR, there is an xЄR such that f(x)=b
e)For all x, yЄR and all εЄP, there is a δЄP such that |x-y|<δ implies |f(x)-f(y)|<ε
d)For all εЄP, there is a δЄP such that, for all x, yЄR, |x-y|<δ implies |f(x)-f(y)|<ε

Any help on this would be nice!

Solving this means having knowledge about negation in quantifier logic. The negation of "for all" is "there exists", and the negation of "there exists" is "for all".

a) For all x in A, there is a b in B such that b > x

Negating this piece by piece,

There exists x in A, such that for all b in B, b <= x.

b) There exists an x in A such that for all b in B, b > x.

Negating piece by piece,

For all x in A, there exists a b in B, such that b <= x.

a. For some x there exists b such that b <= x

b. Step 1. For all x the rest is NOT true.
Step 2. For all x, there exists b such that the rest is NOT true.
Step 3. For all x, there exists b such that b <= x.

d. Step 1. There exists b such that the rest is not true.
Step 2. There exists b such that for all x the rest is not true.

And so on.

In most cases, an important point is that "There exists an X such that ABC is true" is the negation of "For all X, ABC is false" and vice versa.

The closure of R Q is R: all reduce factors of R Q are authentic numbers (what else ought to they be?) no longer merely R Q is dense in R, yet also Q is dense in R it truly is a lot extra spectacular in case you imagine that Q has the cardinality of N, it truly is Q is a countable set! besides it is really exciting to locate 2 disjoint subsets both dense
