Let the universe consists of all people. Consider the following hypotheses: • Some students like all teachers. • No student likes any dishonest person. Using first-order logic prove that "no teacher is dishonest". Use the following predicates for your proof: S(x) denotes x is a student; T(x) denotes x is a teacher; D(x) denotes x is dishonest; L(x,y) denotes x likes y.
