# Math Help - Nested Quantifiers

1. ## Nested Quantifiers

I was confused with g).

Thx for comming.

2. $\exists x\,\forall y\, (y\ne x \Rightarrow M(x,y))$.

3. Thank U very much.
But
.

what's different with My anwser :

The statement $\exists x\,\forall y\, (M(x,y)\wedge y\ne x)$ means that there is a student (x) who has emailed everyone in the class and who is different from everyone in the class. But that would mean in particular that x is different from himself/herself. Obviously that's not possible.

You could have given the alternative solution $\exists x\,\forall y\, ((y= x) \vee M(x,y))$ (meaning that either x=y or x has emailed y).
