) Show that ∀xP(x) ∧ ∃xQ(x) is logically equivalent to ∀x∃y(P(x) ∧ P(y)) The quantifiers have the same non empty domain. I know that to prove a proposition is logically equivalent to another one, I have to show that ∀xP(x) ∧ ∃xQ(x) ↔ ∀x∃y(P(x) ∧ P(y)) Which means I have to prove that (∀xP(x) ∧ ∃xQ(x)) → ∀x∃y(P(x) ∧ P(y)) ∧ ∀x∃y(P(x) ∧ P(y)) → (∀xP(x) ∧ ∃xQ(x)) I don't know the answer, so I saw the textbook answer. It says (1) Suppose that ∀xP(x) ∧ ∃xQ(x) is true. Then P(x) is true for all x and there is an element y for which Q(y) is true. I get this part. Because P(x) ∧ Q(x) is true for all x and there is a y for which Q(y) is true, ∀x∃y(P(x) ∧ P(y)) is true. Emm... I think ∀x∃y(P(x) ∧ P(y)) is true because ∀x only affects P(x) and ∃y only affects P(y) since their alphabets are different. So, it has the exact same meaning as ∀xP(x) ∧ ∃yQ(y). And since the domains are the same, ∀xP(x) ∧ ∃yQ(y) is actually equal to ∀xP(x) ∧ ∃xQ(x). But the textbook states that "P(x) ∧ Q(x) is…
