Propositional Functions are statements that cannot be determined as true or false without specific values for the variable involved. For example, the statement 'x is an integer' is a propositional function until a value for x is provided. The domain of discourse specifies the allowable values for x, and for each value in this domain, the propositional function becomes a proposition that can be evaluated as true or false.

TOPIC:

Propositional Functions

DISCUSSION:

Propositional Functions are statements where you cannot determine if


they are true or false unless the given statement has a value given so that
it’s easy to determine whether the statement is true or false.

Here is an example, I have a statement that says, x is an integer. You


cannot determine if it’s true or false right? Because we don’t know if what is
the value of x, that makes it a propositional function. But when we say 5 is
an integer, it is answerable by true or false.

So now, let P(x) be a statement involving the variable x and let D be a


set. We call P a propositional function or predicate if for each x € D.
P(x) is a proportion. We call D is the domain of discourse for P.
Domain of Discourse – specifies the allowable value for x.
Here is an example,
Let P(x) be the statement.
x is an even integer.
Then P is a propositional function with domain of discourse Z+, since for
each x € Z.
P(n) is a proposition if P(n) is true or false but not both.

In conclusion, a propositional function (P), by itself, is neither true nor


false. However, for each x in the domain of discourse, P(x) is a proposition
and is, therefore, either true or false.
