Answer:

Let’s solve these problems step by step.

1. The number 8 is both even and a power of 2.

  • Statement P: 8 is even.
  • Statement Q: 8 is a power of 2.
  • Symbolic Form: P ∧ Q

2. The matrix A is not invertible.

  • Statement P: The matrix A is invertible.
  • Symbolic Form: ¬P

3. x / y

  • This is already in symbolic form. No further conversion is needed.

4. x < y

  • This is also already in symbolic form.

5. y ≥ x 

  • This is already in symbolic form.

6. There is a quiz scheduled for Wednesday or Friday.

  • Statement P: The quiz is scheduled for Wednesday.
  • Statement Q: The quiz is scheduled for Friday.
  • Symbolic Form: P ∨ Q

7. The number x equals zero, but the number y does not.

  • Statement P: x = 0
  • Statement Q: y ≠ 0
  • Symbolic Form: P ∧ Q

8. At least one of the numbers x and y equals 0.

  • Statement P: x = 0
  • Statement Q: y = 0
  • Symbolic Form: P ∨ Q

9. x ∈ A – B

  • This is already in symbolic form, where A – B represents the set difference.

10. x ∈ A ∪ B

  • This is already in symbolic form, where A ∪ B represents the union of sets A and B.

11. A ∈ {X ∈ P(N) : ∣x̄∣ < ∞}

  • This is already in symbolic form. It represents that set A belongs to a particular collection of sets.

12. Happy families are all alike, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

  • Statement P: Happy families are all alike.
  • Statement Q: Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
  • Symbolic Form: P ∧ Q

13. Human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not all the time.

  • Statement P: Human beings want to be good.
  • Statement Q: Human beings do not want to be too good.
  • Statement R: Human beings do not want to be good all the time.
  • Symbolic Form: P ∧ ¬Q ∧ ¬R

14. A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

  • Statement P: A man should look for what is.
  • Statement Q: A man should not look for what he thinks should be.
  • Symbolic Form: P ∧ ¬Q
