Prove that the following arguments are invalid. Use the method of interpretation to do this. Thank you.

(1)

1. (∃x)(Ax ⋅ Bx)

2. (∃x)(Bx ⋅ Cx)
/∴ (∃x)(Ax ⋅ Cx)

(3)

1. (∃x)(Ax ⋅ ~ Bx)

2. (∃x)(Ax ⋅ ~Cx)

3. (∃x)(~ Bx ⋅ Dx)

/∴ (∃x)[Ax ⋅ (~ Bx ⋅ Dx)]

(5)

1. ( ∃x)(Px ⋅ ~ Qx)

2. (x)(Rx ⊃ Px)

/∴ ( ∃x)(Rx ⋅ ~ Qx)
