1. Negate the following statement: n N\{1, 2} x, y, z N xn + y n = z n . (n N\{1, 2} x, y, z N xn +y n = z n ) (n N\{1, 2} x, y, z N xn +y n = z n ). 2. Let p, q, r be statements. Prove the following logical equivalence, then draw the corresponding electronic circuit. (p q ) (p q r) p (q r). p 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 (b) r q p q 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 r p q q p q p q r q r (p q ) (p q r) p (q r) 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1
3. Let A be a nite set. Prove that P (A {0}) = {} {T {0} ; T A , T = }. Let S P (A {0}) be non-empty. Dene T = {a A ; (a, 0) S }. Then, for x = (a, 0) A {0} x T {0} a T x S. So S {T {0} ; T A , T = }. This proves that P (A {0}) {} {T {0} ; T A , T = }. Now let T A. Then T {0} = {(a, 0) A {0} ; a T } A {0}. 4. Let A, B, C be subsets of a universe of discourse U . Find a counterexample to A Bc C = A B C c. Page 2 of 5 - Discrete Mathematical Models - (MATH1005)
5. Let U be a non-empty nite set of nite sets. Dene R U U by ARB P (A) P (B ). Prove that R is a partial order relation. Let A U . P (A) = P (A), so ARA. Therefore R is reexive. Let A, B U and assume that ARB and BRA, i.e. P (A) P (B ) and P (B ) P (A). Then P (A) = P (B ). Since A P (A) = P (B ), we have A B . Similarly B A. Therefore B = A. This proves that R is antisymmetric. Let A, B, C U , and assume that ARB and BRC . Then P (A) P (B ) P (C ). So P (A) P (C ), and thus ARC . This proves that R is transitive. The relation R is thus a partial order relation. 6. Let F Z Z3 be dened by xF y x y (mod 3). (a) Prove that F is a function. (b) Determine whether or not F is onto. (c) Determine whether or not F is one-to-one. (a) Let x Z. There exists q Z and y Z3 such that x = 3q + y , by the division algorithm. Therefore x y (mod 3), i.e. xF y . Now, let x Z and y, z Z3 be such that xF y and xF z . Then x y (mod 3) = z (mod 3), so x = z . The relation F is thus a function. (b) We have F (1) = 1, F (2) = 2, and F (3) = 3, so y Z3 x Z F (x) = y,
i.e F is onto. (c) We have 4 = 1 + 3 1 (mod 3), so F (4) = 1 = F (1). Therefore F is not one-to-one. 7. (a) Compute A116 1316 . (b) Write AE 316 in base 2. (c) Write 7 as four binary digits, using the usual encoding of Z.
(a) A116 1316 = 1E 316 + A1016 = BF 316 . (b) AE 316 = 1010111000112 . (c) 7 = 1112 = (01102 + 00012 ). Therefore 7 is encoded as 11001. 8. (a) Compute 643 327 (mod 5). (b) Find a number x Z such that x 26 and xd x (mod 11) for all d N. (a) 643 327 (mod 5) = 3 6 (mod 5) = 1 (mod 5). (b) We want xd1 1 (mod 11). 34 1 (mod 11) so 34d1 1d1 (mod 11) = 1 (mod 11).
n N {0},
Prove that xn = 22 n N. n 21 Let P (n) : xn = 22 . We have x1 = x2 0 = 4 = 2 , so P (1) holds. Let k N and assume P (1) P (2) ... P (k ). 2k 2 Then xk+1 = x2 k = (2 ) , since P (k ) holds. k k+1 Therefore xk = 222 = 22 , i.e. P (k + 1) holds. n By induction, this gives xn = 22 n N {0}.
10. Let (xn )nN R be such that xn+2 4xn+1 + xn = 0 n N {0}, x0 = 2, x1 = 2 3. Prove that xn = (2 + 3)n (2 3)n n N. Let P (n) : xn = (2 + 3)n (2 3)n . We have x1 = 2 3 = (2 + 3)1 (2 3)1 . Let k N and assume P (1) P (2) ). k... P (k Then xk+1 = 4xk xk1 = 4(2 + 3) (2 3)k (2 + 3)k1 + (2 3)k1 , since P (k ) and P (k 1) hold. Therefore xk+1 = (2+ 3)k1 (4(2+ 3)1)(2 3)k1 (4(2 3)1) = (2+ 3)k1 (7+4 3)(2 3)k1 (74 3). Page 4 of 5 - Discrete Mathematical Models - (MATH1005)
2 2 Now remark that (2 + 3) = 7 + 4 3 and (2 3) = 7 4 3. This implies that k+1 k+1 (2 3) , i.e. P (k + 1) xk+1 = (2 + 3) holds. n By induction, this gives xn = (2 + 3) (2 3)n n N. 11. Let (x, y ) Q2 . Compute 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 12. 2 2 2 3
