11 Page 11 of 13 Part VI : Tree Problems Use the tree method to determine the validity or invalidity of the following two arguments. If the argument is invalid, then use the tree to identify an assignment of truth values that shows the argument to be invalid (5 points apiece) Note that in the final for Fall 2008, we shall have only one tree problem, and it will include predicate logic. Be sure you know the rules for developing quantifier formulas!! In addition, we are also planning to have a derivation involving predicate logic with the identity sign. Be sure that you are familiar with the relevant derivation rules for the identity sign (the rule of self-identity and the rule of identity substitution). 41.
