Question

Need help with part (c). Thank you :)

This question is about the Padding Lemma for FPD Languages.
Definitions
A prefix of a string w is any substring that occurs at the start of w. In other words, a word p is
a prefix of w if and only if there exists a word r such that w = px. (Note that w is a prefix of itself,
in which case x = €.)
A language L over an alphabet E is finitely prefix-determined (FPD) if there exists a finite set
P of words such that, for all words w e E*,
W E L
w has a prefix in P.
For example:
• Consider the language of binary strings whose first three bits contain two 1s. This language
is FPD, using the prefix set P = {011, 101, 110}.
• Consider the language of all utterancesover the English alphabet that start with an Australia
state capital city. This language is FPT, using the prefix set
P = {Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide}.
The Padding Lemma for FPD Languages states:
Let L be any nonempty FPD language. Then there exists N such that, for all w e L
with |w| > N and all r e E*, we have wx E L.
(a) Write the conclusion of the Padding Lemma ...
There exists N such that, for all w e L with w > N and all r e E*, we have
wx e L.
... using quantifiers and appropriate logical and mathematical symbols.
(b) Write the logical negation of (a) using quantifiers, ensuring that all your quantifiers are out the
front (i.e., as far to the left as possible), and that all other logical and mathematical symbols you
use are to the right of all the quantifiers.
(c) Prove this Padding Lemma.
'so they don't have to be grammatical sentences

(d) Let EVEN BINARY be the language of binary representations of even nonnegative integers:
EVEN BINARY =
{0, 10, 100, 110, 1000, 1010,...}.
Use the Padding Lemma to prove by contradiction that EVEN BINARY is not FPD.
