Question

Prove that
                                [(∀x)A(x)]′ ↔ (∃x)[A(x)]′
is valid.

Prove that
[4x)A(x)]' → (Vx)[A(x)]'
is valid. We must prove the implication in each direction.
a. [ax)4(x)]' <→ (Vx)[A(x)]'
The hypothesis alone gives us little to work with, so we introduce a (somewhat
surprising) temporary hypothesis. A proof sequence is
1. [Ex)A(x)]'
2. A(x)
3. (Ex)A(x)
hyp
temporary hyp
2, eg
4. A(x) → (Ax)A(x) temporary hyp discharged
5. [A(x)]'

6. (Vx)[A(x)]'
5, ug
b. (Vx)[4(x)]' → [x)A(x)]'
This proof also requires a temporary hypothesis. It is even more surprising than
case (a) because we assume the exact opposite of the conclusion we are trying to
reach.
