Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length of the square be x feet.

x^2 - 5 = 59

x^2 = 64

x = ±4 (reject - 4 since length > 0)

Let S(x, y) denote the statement "x has seen y" and D denote the set of all students in our class and M be the set of all movies

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Recall the quantifiers $\forall, \exists$ .

Then, we can translate the proposition as follows

$\forall m \in M \exists x \in D \exists y \in D S(x,m)\land S(y,m)$

b) Recall that an expression of the form $\exists x P(x)$ its negation is of the form $\forall x \neg P(x)$ which means that it is not true that for all elements the proposition P holds. Equivalently, we have that the negation of an expression of the form $\forall x P(x)$ is $\exists x \neg P(x)$ which means that there is at least one x such that P doesn't hold. Using this, we get the following

$\neg(\forall m \in M \exists x \in D \exists y \in D S(x,m)\land S(y,m))= \exists m \in M \neg (\exists x \in D \exists y \in D S(x,m)\land S(y,m))= \exists m \in M \forall x \in D \neg (\exists y \in D S(x,m)\land S(y,m))= \exists m \in M \forall x \in D \forall y \in D \neg(S(x,m)\land S(y,m))$
