Let P(x) and Q(x) be predicates and suppose D is the domain of x. For the statement forms in the given pair, determine whether they have the same truth value for every choice of P(x), Q(x), and D, or whether there is a choice of P(x), Q(x), and D for which they have opposite truth values. ∃x ∈ D, (P(x) ∧ Q(x)) and (∃x ∈ D, P(x)) ∧ (∃x ∈ D, Q(x))

Please answer the following question in depth with full detail. Consider the 8-puzzle that we discussed in class. Suppose we define a new heuristic function h3 which is the average of h1 and h2, and another heuristic function h4 which is the sum of h1 and h2. That is, for every state s ∈ S: h3(s) =h1(s) + h2(s) 2 h4(s) =h1(s) + h2(s) where h1 and h2 are defined as “the number of misplaced tiles”, and “the sum of the distances of the tiles from their goal positions”, respectively. Are h3 and h4 admissible? If admissible, compare their dominance with respect to h1 and h2, if not, provide a counterexample, i.e. a puzzle configuration where dominance does not hold.

Consider a robot that is capable of picking objects from a shelf and placing them on the table. Suppose that the robot’s arm works perfectly, and the environment is fully-observable. (i) Define a STRIPS operator that could be used for planning the actions of this robot. (ii) Give an example of a state S of the world at which this STRIPS operator is applicable. (iii) Describe the operation of this STRIPS operator at this state S, to show the next state S0 of the world.
Exercise 1 Let B be a set of Boolean variables and P be a propositional logic formula over B. If P always evaluates to 1, no matter than assignments to each b ∈ B, then P is called a tautology. Formulate this definition as an expression in first order predicate logic.
Consider the predicate language with predicate symbol <, where x < y means that "x is an object different from y that comes before y"; (and = is the usual equality symbol). Choose the first-order logic formulas that correctly translate the sentence: "There exists an element that comes after all others". A. ∃x ∀y (y<x) B. ∃x ∀y (¬(y<x) → (y=x)) C. ∀x ∃y (x<y) D. ∃x ∀y ((y<x) ∨ (y=x))
