😃: Express the negation of the statement ∀x ∃y (P(x,y) ∧ ∃z R(x,y,z)) so that
all negation symbols immediately precede predicates. !  solve this
🤖: Sure! To express the negation of the statement ∀x ∃y (P(x,y) ∧ ∃z R(x,y,z)), we can use the following formula:
◇∀x ∃y (¬P(x,y) ∨ ¬∃z R(x,y,z))
Here's how it works:
- The symbol "◇" indicates that the negation of the enclosed formula is being expressed.
 - ∀x ∃y (P(x,y) ∧ ∃z R(x,y,z)) means "for all x, there exists y such that P(x,y) and z exists where R(x,y,z) holds".
 - ¬P(x,y) means "it is not the case that P(x,y)", which corresponds to the first part of the original statement.
 - ¬∃z R(x,y,z) means "there does not exist a z such that R(x,y,z)", which corresponds to the second part of the original statement.
 
So the formula ◇∀x ∃y (¬P(x,y) ∨ ¬ EXISTS z R(x,y,z)) expresses the negation of the original statement.
