This is what I got a: ∃x¬(x^2 + 2 ≥ 0) or ∃x(-x^2-2<0)

OpenStudy (juscallmesteve):

b. ∃x∀y¬(x ≥ y) or ∃x∀y(-x < -y)

OpenStudy (juscallmesteve):

c. ∃x∃y¬P(x,y) or ∃x∃yP(-x,-y)

OpenStudy (juscallmesteve):

d. ∀x∀y¬(3x+2y=0) or ∀x∀y(-3x-2y=0)

the reason I have the "or" in my answers is because I am not sure how to handle the negation of the stuff in parenthesis.

When you negate a statement, you're switching it to the opposite, So the opposite of \(\rm x^2+2\ge0\) is \(\rm x^2+2\le0\). If you think of it in terms of a number line, it might help.|dw:1454897941745:dw|
