Predicate Logic

So, if a in in the domain P (a) is true, which is the same as ∀xP (x) is true; and similarly, we get that ∀xQ(x) is true. This means that ∀xP (x) ∧ ∀xQ(x) is true. If ∀xP ...

Therefore, we would usually write A ∨ (B ∧ C) even if A ∨ B ∧ C would do. Similarly, we write A ⇔ (B ⇒ C) when ...
