We
know
that
we
need
to
push the negation in, so that
it
applies
to
(P(x)
~
Q(x)), and that,
in
the
process, the
'V
will switch
to
an
3
as
3x
-.(P(x)
~
Q(x)).
And
this is where
we
have
to
dig in
to
remember
that negating
an
implication (p
~
q) results in
(p
"-.q).
Applying
it
to
predicates,
we
have (P(x)
"-.Q(x))
. So, that should mean the negation
of
the existen-
tial quantifier results
in
3x
(P(x)
"-,Q(x)).
The negation
can
therefore
be
pushed
in
so that
it
is next
to
a predicate, by using equivalences that lets
us apply negations
to
implications
or
negations
to
conjunctions
and
disjunctions ...
