Cube of an integer is +ve or -ve.
p: Cube of an integer is +ve
q: Cube of an integer is -ve

p: A rectangle is a quadrilateral.
q: The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
Compound statement using connecting word: ‘and’

 Rules regarding the use of connective “Or”
If all of the component statements connected by the connective and is false then the entire statement is false.

In mathematical reasoning, a statement is called a mathematically acceptable statement if it is either true or false but not both. In addition, each of these statements is termed to be a compound statement. Furthermore, the compound statements are combined by the word “and” (^) the resulting statement is called conjunction denoted as a ^ b.

Quantifier is “For Every”
Negotiation of statement is : There exist a real number x such that x is not less than x+5

Since there are 28 or 30 or 31 days in a month
Its a false statement
Hence it is a statement.

Negation of p :
There exists a real number x such that x³ < x².

Component statements of ‘All integers are either even or odd’ are:
P: All integers are even
Q: All integers are odd

Mathematics is difficult for some but not for other.
Hence this statement can be true or false.
So it is not a statement.
