Determine whether each argument is valid. If the argument is valid, give a proof using the laws of logic. If the argument is invalid, give values for the predicates P and Q over the domain {a, b} that demonstrate the argument is invalid.
(a)
x (P(x) Q(x)) x Q(x) x P(x)
(b)
x Q(x) x P(x) x (P(x) Q(x))
(c)
x (P(x) Q(x)) x Q(x) x P(x)
(d)
x (P(x) Q(x)) x Q(x) x P(x)
I think a, b, and c are all true. D is false. Can someone help explain why/give proof? Thanks
