Discrete math question ...

[screw3d]

Simple question, really

The prompt (from the text) is:

Express each of these statements using quantifiers. Then form the negation of the statement so that no negation is to the left of a quantifier. Next, express the negation in simple English. (Do not simply use the words "It is not the case that.")

No one has lost more than one thousand dollars playing the lottery.


Say discourse of x is all people in the world; L(x) = x has lost more than one thousand dollars playing the lottery,

So, ?x ¬L(x), and the negation would be ?x L(x).

In simple english, Someone has lost more than $1000 playing the lottery.

Am I correct? I keep feeling that something's missing

No reason to be an ass about it. It's not like the question was posed without the OP providing a solution, or a train of thought.

To the OP, I have absolutely no idea. Discrete math is next semester.

Forty-two people play the lottery forty-two times a year and each lost forty-two dollars.

That looks fine to me, and I got a B in that class just last semester.
