Negate the following sentences. If f is a polynomial and its degree is greater than 2, then ff^{\prime} is not constant.

Solution

Step 1
1 of 2

``If ff is a polynomial and its degree is greater than 2, then fˊ\acute f is not constant.''

We want to negate this sentence. We can translate the sentence to: PQ    (R)P \wedge Q \implies (\sim R), where: P\color{#c34632}P: ff is a polynomial. Q\color{#c34632}Q: The degree is greater than 2, R\color{#c34632}R: fˊ\acute f is not constant.

We know that (P    Q)=P(Q)\sim(P \implies Q)=P \wedge (\sim Q)

Thus, [(PQ)    (R)]=(PQ)(R)=PQR\sim[(P \wedge Q) \implies (\sim R)] = (P \wedge Q) \wedge \sim (\sim R)= P \wedge Q \wedge R

Negation:\textbf{Negation:} $\text{\textcolor{#4257b2}{ ff is a polynomial and its degree is greater than 2 and $\acute f $ is constant. }}$
