The argument:
"All schnauzers are prize dogs and champion hunters if they are properly trained. Ralph is a schnauzer. Therefore, there is something that if properly trained is a champion hunter."
The proof:
- (x)[(Sx • Tx) ⊃(Px • Dx • Cx • Hx)]
- Sr
- ∴ (∃x)[Tx⊃(Cx • Hx)]
- * ¬ (∃x)[Tx⊃(Cx • Hx)] ......... AIP
- * (x) ¬ [Tx⊃(Cx • Hx)] ......... 4 QC
- * (x) ¬ [ ¬ Tx ∨(Cx • Hx)] ......... 5 MI
- * (x)[Tx • ¬ (Cx • Hx)] ......... 6 DeM
- * Tr • ¬ (Cr • Hr) ......... 7 UI
- * Tr ......... 8 Simp.
- * Sr • Tr ......... 2,9 Conj.
- * (Sr • Tr) ⊃(Pr • Dr • Cr • Hr) ......... 1 UI
- * Pr • Dr • Cr • Hr ......... 10,11 MP
- * ¬ (Cr • Hr) ......... 8 Simp.
- * ¬ Cr ∨ ¬ Hr ......... 13 DeM.
- * Cr ......... 12 Simp.
- * ¬ Hr ......... 15,14 DS
- * Hr ......... 12 Simp.
- * Hr • ¬ Hr ......... 16,17 Conj.
- ¬ ¬ (∃x)[Tx⊃(Cx • Hx)] ......... 4-18 IP
- (∃x)[Tx⊃(Cx • Hx)] ......... 19 DN
