G(x) x has a portal gun

R(x) x is a rick

M(x) x is a Morty

Convert the following statements into predicate logic.

1.) There is a Rick.

2.) Everything is a Morty

3.) No morty has a portal gun

How do I even start this? I've watched some videos and it still doesn't click.

  1. Rick exists.

R(x)

  1. Everything is Morty.

∃x∈M(x)

  1. No Morty has a portal gun.

∈M(x)¬G(x)?

  • Should be $\exists x R(x)$, does that make sense? $R(x)$ doesn't suffice on its own, since the variable "x" is not specified. By adding $\exists x$ beforehand, you are saying "there is an $x$ satisfying the property $R(x)$.
