Consider the following argument: If you send me an e-mail message, then I will finish writing the program. If you do not send me an e-mail message, then I will go to sleep early. If I go to sleep early, then I will wake up feeling refreshed. I did not finish writing the program. Therefore, I will wake up feeling refreshed. Define propositional variables to represent each of the atomic propositions used above.  (Hint: you should need 4 of them.) Construct the argument in symbols using the propositional variables you defined in part A. (Use the Equation Editor to facilitate the symbolic language). Show the argument is valid by explaining which rules of inference are used for each step. (Use the three column table as described in previous exercises, example below.) Step Statement Justification 1 2 Clearly delineate parts A, B, and C in your answer.

Consider the following argument where the domain is the set of all people: There is someone in this class who has been to France. Everyone who goes to France visits the Louvre. Therefore, someone in this class has visited the Louvre. Define predicates used in the argument above. (This argument can be expressed using predicates with a single propositional variable, example P(x), a Predicate with two propositional variables like Q(x,y) should not be necessary.) Construct the argument in symbols using the predicates you defined in part A. (Use the Equation Editor to facilitate the symbolic language). Show the argument is valid by explaining which rules of inference are used for each step. (Use the three column table as described in previous exercises, example below.) Step Statement Justification 1 2 Clearly delineate parts A, B, and C in your answer.
