In his free time, Bob loves to charter a boat and sail the seven seas. In the following question, the domain is a set of the passengers on Bob's yacht. At sea, many passengers may feel seasick.

Therefore, define the following predicates:

P(x) : x drank purified water

D(x) : x took dramamine (motion-sickness medication)

M(x) : x still felt nauseous Translate each statement into a logical expression.

Then negate the expression by adding a negation operation to the beginning of the expression. Apply De Morgans law until each negation operation applies directly to a predicate and then translate the logical expression back into English.

Sample question: Some passenger drank purified water and took the medication.

1) x(P(x) D(x))

2) Negation: x(P(x) D(x))

c) There is a passenger who did not take the medication and felt nauseous.
