Are the following analyses correct? Why?

  1. There is exactly one frog:
    $ \exists$x$ \exists$y[[x is a frog $ \wedge$ y is a frog] $ \wedge$ x = y]
  2. There are at least two frogs:
    $ \exists$x$ \exists$y[x is a frog $ \wedge$ y is a frog]
  3. There are no frogs:
    $ \forall$x$ \forall$y[[x is a frog $ \wedge$ y is a frog] $ \rightarrow$ $ \neg$ x = y]
