MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

EXERCISES 1:

STATEMENTS CLASSIFICATION TRUE OR FALSE

1. The sum of two real numbers is COMMUTATIVE. Universal TRUE

2. If a real number is multiplied by zero, then Conditional TRUE

the product is equal to zero.

3. There exist a real number whose squares is Existential TRUE

less than itself.

Existential TRUE
4. For all real numbers there exist an ADDITIVE
INVERSE. .
5. The sum of any two odd numbers is odd. Universal
FALSE,
The sum of two
odd numbers is
always even.
6. All perfect squares are even numbers Universal
FALSE,
Many perfect
squares are odd
numbers.
Ex. of first 10
perfect squares
1,4,9,16,25,36,44,
64,81,100.
7. The INTERSECTION of odd numbers and Universal TRUE
NATURAL numbers is an odd number

8. If two numbers are said to be the factor of a third Universal-Conditional TRUE

number, then any of the two numbers is a multiple of
that third number.
9. If the product of two numbers is zero then Conditional TRUE
either of the two number is zero.

10. There exist a RATIONAL number whose product is Existential TRUE

a WHOLE number.

multiplicative inverse whose 1
product of the number and its a * a = 1; a  0
multiplicative inverse is 1.

8. The sum of any two real numbers is real.

a+bER
9. If the product of any two number is
zero, then either of the two number is
a * b = 0 ; a= 0 / b= 0
equal to zero
