Question
(a)
(b)
Let X
==
{5, {5,6}}. How many elements does the set X have? Give
the power set P(X).
Prove that the sets
x-5
A = {x Є Z:
6
€ Z} and B = {3k: k Є N}
are disjoint, i.e. AnB = 0.
(c)
(d)
(e)
Prove by induction that for all natural N,
N
Σ k (k + 1) = ½ N(N + 1)(N +2).
k=1
Indicate clearly where you use the inductive hypothesis.
Use proof by contradiction to show that 2 is irrational.
Write the number 6.29474747474... as an infinite sum. Then use an
appropriate formula to write it as a quotient of two integers.
