The signature is taken from example 28 on p. 141 — the three-place predicate symbol , where means "the value of the function at the argument equals ," and the two-place predicate symbol , where means " is the derivative of "; the interpretation consists of real numbers and infinitely differentiable functions on them. Determine which of the following formulas are true in this interpretation, and explain what they mean:

The signature consists of the two-place predicate symbol , the individual variables , and others. The interpretation is depicted in fig. 16; an arrow from to means that (such interpretations are called graphs; they will be studied in detail in chapter 9 and beyond). Determine which of the following formulas are true in this interpretation, and explain what they mean:
