Exercise Set 6.1 (p. 388+ of Epp, fifth edition): Exercises 1, 4, 10, 20, 29, 30 A (i) Let A and B be the two sets. A set A is said to be subset of B if it satisfies conditional statement, A C b AX, if x E A then x E B (ii) Let’s A and B be two sets, A set A is said to be proper subset of B of it satisfies, A C B and There is at least one set in B that is not in A. Then for the expression in a. we rewrite as a set of A. Thus, every element in A is an element of the sets B so the set A subset of B. Then the statement {{2}} in B which is not in be set A. Hence, the proper set, the set A is proper subset of B. B For the expression in B. we rewrite the expression as A= {3 square5^2-4^2, 24 mod 7} ={3,square 9, 3} ={3} B= {8 mod 5} = {3} Hence, the sets are A = {3} and B = {3} As sets are equal so each statement in the set A is contained in the set B and vice versa. Thus, A is a subset of A and B is a subset of B. C For expression C. The set A contains the set as elements, so the elements in set A are {1,2} and {2,3}
The elements in set B are 1,2and 3. Thus, A is not a subset of the set B and set B is not a subset of set A. D For expression D the set A contains the element a,b,c and the set B contains the singleton sets {a},{b} and {c}. As the elements, x and {x} are distinct for all x E A so the set A is not a subset of B and vice versa. E When rewriting the set A as = {square 16,{4}} ={4,{4}} We observe sets A and B, every element in B is an element of the set A. Thus, the set B is a subset of A. Also, the element {4] in the set A which is not in the set B, so the set B is proper subset of A. F As the range of the function and cosine function [-1,1], the elements of the range which are in the set Z are -1,0 and 1. Find the elements of those sets A and B as below, A = {x E R | cos X E Z } = nPI, (2n+1) PI/2|n E Z} Since cos (n PI)= (-1)^n and cos ((2n+1)Pi)/2)=0, for all n E Z = {0, Pi/2, Pi, 3Pi/2,2Pi,..} B= {x E R| sin X E Z Since sin(nPi) = 0, sin (((4n+1)Pi)/2)=1 and sin ((4n-1)Pi/2))= -1 for all n E Z = {-pi/2,0, pi/2,pi,3pi/2,2pi…..} We can observe that every element in B is an element in set A. Thus, the set A is a subset of B and the set B is a subset of A. A = { n e Z,n=5r for some integer r} = 5{0,+-1,+-2,+-3…}
={0, +- 5+-10,+-15,+-20,+-25} = So A ={0, +- 5+-10,+-15,+-20,+-25} Now, the set B is explicitly expressed as follows, B = { m E Z , n =20 s for some integer s} =20{0,+-1,+-2,+-3,…} = {0,+-20,+-40,+-60,+-80,+-100,…} So B= {0,+-20,+-40,+-60,+-80,+-100,…} From A = {0,+-5,+-10,+-15,+-20,+-25…..} B = { 0 +-20,+-40,+-60,+- 80,+- 100….} This implies that set B is contained in A. That is B C A. But set A is not entirely contained in B so A not in B. A is false and B is true. A. The union of two sets, denoted by A B, is the set of all elements that are in set A, or in set B, or in both. B. The intersection of two sets, denoted by A∩B, is the set of all elements that are common to both set A and set B. C. (c) A C={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} D. (d) A∩C={}or (Empty set) E. (e) A−B={1,5,7} The set difference, denoted as A−B, represents the set of elements that are in set A but not in set B. F. (f) B−A={6} G. (g) B C={2,3,4,6,8,9}

The four sets would be defined as follows: (a) From the definition of set union, AUB={XEU|XEA OR XEB} So, the set can be defined as follows: = { X E R | X E [0,1] or X E [0,2] or X E [0,3] or X E [0,4]} = {X E R | 0 < X < 4} The required result is, ={X E R |0 X ≤4} or [0,4] (b) From the definition of set intersection, A B ={ X U | x ∈ A and X ∈ B} So, the set can be defined as follows:
= { X E R | X E [0,1] and x E [0,2] and X E [0,3] and E [0,4]} = {x E R | X E [0,1]} ={X E R | 0<X<1} The required result is, ={ x ∈ R| 0≤X≤1} or [0,1] (c) A collection of sets are called mutually disjoint, if the intersection of any two sets must be an empty set. It is clear that the sets have elements common in pairwise, so they are not mutually disjoint. Answer is No. Let R be the set of all real numbers. Define the set R + is the set which contains all the positive real numbers and the set R- contains all the negative real numbers. The objective is to check that the set {R+,R-,{0}} is partition of real number set R. Partition of the set: Let the set {A1,A2,An…….} be the subsets of A. The set {A1,A2,An…….} is said to be partition of A, if each the elements are mutually disjoint and A U A2 U An =A. Let’s Check that whether the set {R+,R-,{0}} is mutually disjoint set or not. By the definition of the sets r+ and r-, there are no common elements in both the sets r+ and r-. Thus, R+ NOT IN R-. By the definition of the set R+, the set does not contain the element 0. Thus, R+ NOT ZERO
By the definition of the set R-, the set does not contain the element 0. Thus, R – NOT ZERO By the definition of mutually disjoint, the set {R+,R-,{0}} is mutually disjoint set. So, As the real number set contains negative numbers, zero and positive numbers so the real numbers set can be written as union of sets R -,{0}, and R +. Therefore, R =R U {0} U R+ The set {R+, R -, {0}} satisfies all the conditions of the partition of the set. Hence, the set {R+, R -, {0}} is a partition of the set. Partition of the set: Let the set {A1,A2,……An} be the subsets of A . The set {A1,A2,……An} is said to be partition of A, if each the elements are mutually disjoint and A1 U A2 U ….U An= A Now we are going to check that whether the set{A1,A2,A3……An} is mutually disjoint set or not. By the definition of the sets A0 and A1, there are no common elements in both the sets A0 and A1. Thus, A0 (∩) A1 = ( ). By the definition of the sets A0 and A1, there are no common elements in both the setsA0 and A1. Thus, A0 (∩) A1 = ( ). By the definition of the sets A0 and A3, there are no common elements in both the sets A3 and A3.

Thus, A0 (∩) A1= ( ). By the definition of the sets A1 and A2, there are no common elements in both the sets A1 and A2. Thus, A0 (∩) A1= ( ). By the definition of the sets A1 and A3, there are no common elements in both the sets A1 and A3. Thus, A0 (∩) A1= ( ). By the definition of the sets A2 and A3, there are no common elements in both the sets A2 and A3. Thus, A0 (∩) A1= ( ). By the definition of mutually disjoint, the set {A0,A1,A2,A3} is mutually disjoint set. Now we need to find the union of the sets {A0,A1,A2,A3} . A0 A1 A2 A3 represents the union of four sets. ={…-8,-4,0,4,8…} U {…-7,-3,1,5,…}U {…-6,-2,2,6,10…} U { {…-5,-1,3,7,11…} = {….,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,…} The set {A1, A2, A3} satisfies all the conditions of the partition of the set. Hence, the set is a partition of Z. Exercise Set 6.2 (p. 404+) Exercises 4, 17
1) Starting with three sets A, B, and C, we know that everything in A is also in C. I Think of A as a small circle inside a big circle C. 2) We want to prove that if we put everything from A and B together, all of that will also fit inside C. Let’s Imagine we have a bag with items from A and another with items from B. We want to make sure everything from both bags can fit into a bigger bag labeled C. 3) Take any item from the combined bags of A and B. Pick any item, it doesn't matter which one, from the two bags you've combined. 4) This item is either from bag A or from bag B (or could be in both). Any item you picked is from one of the bags, A or B, because those are the only places you've taken items from. 5) If the item is from bag A, we already know it fits in the big bag C because everything from A fits there. Since we know the small circle A is inside the big circle C, anything from A will definitely be in C. 6) If the item is from bag B, we don't have any specific rule that says it fits in C, but we're not saying it doesn't either.
The proof doesn't talk about where the items from B go, but it doesn't need to. We just need to focus on the fact that our item is definitely from one of the bags. 7) So, no matter which bag the item came from, it is definitely in C. Whether the item was from A (which we know fits in C) or B (which could also have items that fit in C), it will be in C. 8) Since this is true for any item you pick, it means all items from the combined A and B bags are in the big C bag. 9) Every single item, no matter which one we choose, will end up in C. So, the combined collection of items from A and B will all fit into C. All the items from both A and B, when put together, are still part of C. A C means every element in set A is also in set C. A C represents the union of sets A and C, which means it includes all the elements that are in A, in C, or in both. B C is the union of sets B and C, including all elements that are in B, in C, or in both. The statement A C B C is saying that if you take all the elements from both A and C, this combined set will not have any elements that aren't already in the combined set of B and C. Since A is already a subset of C, adding C to A doesn't bring any new elements to the table that aren't already in C. Therefore, when you add C to B to make B C, you're guaranteed to have all the elements from A C because A didn't add anything new that wasn't in C. Hence, A C is a subset of B C.

Exercise Set 7.1 (p. 435+): Exercises 2, 4, 10, 11 a. Domain of g is X = {1, 3, 5} and The co-domain of g is Y = {a, b, c, d}. b. Find g(1), g(3), and g(5) by looking at arrow diagram: g(1) = a g(3) = c g(5) = d c. The range of g is the set of all elements in the co-domain Y that are associated with at least one element in the domain X. From the arrow diagram. Range of g is {a, c, d} d. To determine if 3 is an inverse image of a, check if there is an arrow going from 3 to an in the arrow diagram. Since there is no arrow connecting 3 and a, 3 is not an inverse image of a. e. The inverse image of the element in co-domain Y is set to all elements in domain X to map that particular element. The inverse image b is {3} because 3 is the only element in X that maps to b. The inverse image c is {5} because 5 is the only element in X that maps to c. f. Set of ordered pairs representing g is: {(1, a), (3, c), (5, d)}

a) The function H is not one-one that both(b,f)and(c,f)map to the element in Y. This indicates that multiple elements in X map to the same element in Y. Hence, His not one-one. To determine if function H is onto, we need to check if every element in the codomain(Y)is mapped to by at least one element in the domain(X). Since, there is an element e in Y but there is no element in x X such that H(x)=e. Thus, the function H is not onto. b) K is one-one as it maps different elements in X to different in Y. In other words, we can say that no two elements of X are sent by K to the same element of K. So, K is one-one function. Now, for onto K is not onto because for the element g Y there is no element x X such that K(x)=g. Thus, K is not onto.
A) For the function f = { (1,1) , (2,2) , (3,3) } there is no element in the domain X that maps to 4 in the codomain Y. Therefore, f is a one-to-one (injective) function but not onto (surjective). (b) In the function g = { (1,1) , (2,2) , (3,2) } both elements 2 and 3 from the domain X are mapped to the same element 2 in the codomain Y. This indicates that g is onto (surjective) since every element in Y has a preimage in X, but it is not one-to-one (injective) because two different elements in X map to the same element in Y. (c) Looking at the function h = { (1,1) , (2,2) , (3,1) } the elements 1 and 3 in the domain X both map to 1 in the codomain Y. This makes h not one-to-one (injective). Additionally, there is no element in X that maps to 3 in Y, making h also not onto (surjective). (D) The function k = { (1,2) , (2,3) , (3,1) } shows that each element in the domain X maps to a unique element in the codomain Y, making it one-to-one (injective). Moreover, every element in Y is mapped from an element in X, so k is also onto (surjective). However, since there is no element x in X for which f(x)=x, k does not qualify as an identity function. a) Suppose s1= aaabb and abaab are in s such that n(s1)=n(s2) By definition of n, N(s1)=3=n(s3) But s1 not equal to s2. Therefore, this relationship does not hold, indicating that different elements in the domain do not necessarily produce unique outputs in the codomain. Consequently, the function fails to be injective (one-to-one). b) The codomain of n is z and it includes negative integers. By definition n, cannot have negative number of a’s. Thus n(s)=-1 is not satisfied.

Considering the codomain of this function, which encompasses negative integers, we refer to the function's definition involving strings and their lengths. It's clear that a string cannot possess a negative length. Therefore, the function does not map any element in its domain to negative integers in its codomain. As a result, the function is not surjective (onto). (a) Prove that C is one-to-one. Proof: Suppose s1 and s2 are strings in S such that C(s1)=C(s2). Use the definitions of C to write this equation in terms of a,s1,s2 as follows: as1=as2 Now strings are finite sequences of characters and strings on both sides of the above equation are equal for each integer n≥0. The nth character from the left in the left-hand side is equal to the nth character from the left in the right-hand string. It follows that for each integer n≥0 the nth character from the left is s1 equals to nth character from the left in s2. Hence, s1=s2 and so, C is one-to-one. (b) Give a counter example to show that C is not onto. Counter example: The string bs is in S but is not equal to C(s) for any string s because every string in the range of C starts with a. Explanation: Here, bs be any string for s S which starts from b but the concatenation starts from a so, it is not onto because bs S. Hence, the function C:S→S defined as C(s)=as is one-to-one but not onto as the strings starting from b does not have pre-image.
Exercise Set 8.1 (p. 493+): Exercises 4, 6, 11 a) Prime factors of 15: 3,5 Prime factors of 25: 5,5 Common prime factor: 5 Therefore, 15 P 25 is true. B) Prime factors of 22: 2,11 Prime factors of 27: 3,3,3 Common prime factor: None Therefore, 22 P 27 is false. c) 0 does not have prime factors. Prime factors of 5:5 Common prime factor: None Therefore, 0P5 is false. d) Prime factors of 8: 2,2,2 Common prime factor with itself: 2 therefore, 8 P 8 is true.
(a) No, because {a} ∩{b}= (b) {a,b} J {b,c} = {a,b} ∩ {b,c} ={b} So, yes, {a,b} J {b,c} (c) {a,b} J {a,b,c} = {a,b} ∩ {a,b,c} = {a,b} So, yes {a,b} J {a,b,c} Let A= {3,4,5} and B={4,5,6} be two sets. Let s be the “divides” relation. That is, for all (X,Y) e A*B , X S Y X|Y As A = {3,4,5} and B = {4,5,6}, then A x B = {(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)} Observe that, S= {(3,6),(4,4),(5,5)}. Here 3 divides 6, 4 divides 4 and 5 divides 5. These 3 are true. Here is the relation x|y, so 3|6,4|4,5|5. The inverse relation R^-1={(y,x) BxA | (x,y) AxB} Also, observe that S^-1= {(6,3)(4,4)(5,5)} because, .S^-1 = {(y,x) BxA| (x,y) S, i.e.,x|y}

Exercise Set 8.2 (p. 503+): Exerc ises 2, 5, 7, 10, 32, 33 Directed graph for R2 = (b) R2 is not reflexive: Since there is no loop along 3 itself, that means 3 A , but (3,3) not R2. So R2 is not reflexive. (c) R2 is not symmetric: Since there is no anti arrow along any elements, that means (0,1) R2 , but (1,0) NOT R2. So R2 is not symmetric.
(d) R2 is not transitive: Because there is an arrow from 0 to 1 and an arrow from 1 to 2, but there is no arrow from 0 to 2. i.e., (0,1) R2 and (1,2) R2 but (0,2) NOT R2 R2 is not transitive. A) Because of (0,0), there is a loop along 0 itself. There are arrows from 0 to 1 and 0 to 2 because of (0,1) and (0,2). There is an arrow from 1 to 2 because of (1,2) (b) r5 is not reflexive Since there are no loops along 1 and 2 itself. That is , but (1,1) similarly 2 A , but (2,2) NOT R5 (c) R5 is not symmetric Because (0,1) R5 , but (1,0)NOT R5 similarly for remains also. There are no anti-loops for any elements. (d) R5 is transitive Since (0,1) R5 and (1,2) R5 => (0,2) R5
(A) (b). For all X in a set A, (X,X) R then is called reflexive. Here (0,0) NOT R7, (1,1) R7, (2,2) NOT R7 and (3,3) NOT R7 Hence, R7 is not reflexive. (c) For all x and y in a set A, if (X, Y) then (Y,X) then is called symmetric. In this relation R7, (0,3) R7 But (3,0) not R7. Hence, R7is not symmetric. (D) The transitive condition is vacuously true for R7. If R7 were not transitive, That is, there would have to be elements X, Y, Z in a set A such that (x,y) R7, (Y,Z) R7 and (X,Z) Not R7. So, it is clear by hypothesis no such elements exist in R7. It follows that it is impossible for R7 not to be transitive.

Thus, R7is transitive. In 9–33, determine whether the given relation is reflexive, symmetric, transitive, or none of these. Justify your answers . Reflexive: For X=1, 1 1, as 1^2 +1^2 =2 ≠1 Thus, C is not reflexive. Symmetric: Suppose x C y, then x^2+y^2 =1 As sum of real numbers obeys commutative property, so y^2+x^2=1 So, y C x. Thus, C is symmetric. Transitive: For x=1, y=0,z=1 consider 1C0 and 0C1 But 1 1. Thus, C is not transitive. Reflexivity We know that R is reflexive For all lines l in A, 1R1. By the definition of R, for a line in A.IRI=>1 is parallel to l. This is true since every line is parallel to itself.

Exercise Set 8.3 (p. 520+): Exercises 4, 6, 14 Let A be set and R be an equivalence class on A , then for some element a ∈ A an equivalence class is defined as, [a] = {x ∈ A| x R a}.

Similarly, [2] = {x ∈ A: x R2} = {x ∈ A: 3| x-2} = {x ∈ A: x-2 = 3k, for some integer k} = {x ∈ A: x =3k+2, for some int K} Following equivalence class => {-4, -1,2,5} And finally [3] = {x ∈ A: x R3} = {x ∈ A: 3| x-3} = {x ∈ A: x-3 = 3k, for some integer k} = {x ∈ A: x =3k+3, for some int K} Same process as above we get {-3,0,3} Now combining the distinct equivalences {-2,1,4}, {-4, -1,2,5},{-3,0,3} To solve this problem, we must first determine all strings of length 4 that consist of 0's, 1's, and 2's such that the sum of the characters is less than or equal to 2. Then, we can determine the equivalence classes under relation R. An equivalence relation partitions a set into disjoint subsets where each element belongs to exactly one subset. In the context of the problem, two strings are equivalent if they have the same sum of characters (as this is what we can infer from the given information, although the exact nature of R is not specified). Let's find the valid strings first and then determine the equivalence classes.

The distinct equivalence classes of R for the set A, based on the sum of the characters in the strings, are as follows: 1. Equivalence class for sum 0= {‘0000’} 2. Equivalence class for sum 1= {‘0001’,’0010’,’0100’,’1000”} 3. Equivalence class for sum 2 = {‘0002’,”00011’,’0020’,’0101’,’0110’,’0200’,1001’,’1010’,’1100’,’2000’} These classes group the strings where the sum of the digits is the same, hence they are in the same equivalence class under the relation R.

0 heads obtained 8 27% Lets BE be the event that denomination of the chosen card be black and even. Theres 26 cards back cards and there 10 out of them that are even, which are the 2,4,6,8,10 cards of clubs and spades. Then P(B/E) = 10/52 = 5/26 Lets m4 be the event that denomination of the chosen card is at most four. There are 3 cards of each suit which have denomination at most 4, thus there are 4*3 =12 cards with a denomination of at most 4. Then =12/52 = 3/13 Let   S   be the sample space containing all the outcomes when two dices are rolled. Then, N(36) Lets E be the event that sum of the numbers showing face up are the same Then, E { 11,22,33,44,55,66} > N ( e) =6 The prob that the sum of the numbers show the same number is 6/36 or 1/6

(a) The probability that exactly one of the people becomes ill can be calculated by considering all the possible combinations where one person is ill and the other two are not. The probability is 3/8. (b) The probability that exactly two people become ill is P2 = 3/8; the probability that exactly three people become ill is P3 = 1/8. Therefore, the probability that at least two people become ill is P2 + P3 = 3/8 + 1/8 = 1/2. (c) The probability that none of the three people becomes ill is the probability that all three do not become ill. Since each person has a 50% chance of not becoming ill, the calculation is 0.5×0.5×0.5=1/8.The probability is 1/8. Exercise Set 9.2 (p. 585+) Exercises 5, 15, 17 In a match where the victory condition is either securing three consecutive wins or achieving four wins overall, player X secures the initial game, while player Y is victorious in both the second and third games. Commencing with the initial match, player X emerges victorious. Subsequently, player Y claims victory in the second match. Continuing the streak, player Y also triumphs in the third match. With this succession, Y has accumulated three consecutive wins, thereby concluding the match in their favor.

The various scenarios in which the matches could unfold, given that player one clinches the initial game while player two takes the subsequent two matches, are enumerated as such: 1. XYYY 2. XYYXXX 3. XYYXXYX 4. XYYXXYY 5. XYYXYY 6. XYYXYXX 7. XYYXYXY There are a total of 7 possible ways in which the game can be played. A. USING counting principle to solve: The first position of the combination can be filled in 30 ways. The number of ways the second position of the lock can be filled in 29 ways. The last position can be filled in 29 ways. Because the number used in the first position can be used again. The total number of combinations is 30*29*29 By simplifying the above value: Multiply 30 by 29 = 870

Multiply 870 *29 = 25,230 The conclusion is there is 25,230 combinations. b) since the locks are constructed in such a way that no number can be used twice. For the first number there are 30 choices. The second number can’t be the first number so we have 29 other possibilities. For the third choice there are 28 Total different combinations possible are: 30*29*28=24,360 a. with inclusive counting: 9999-1000+1 =10000-1000 =9000 b) Its known that the even and odd number are alternate: so the number s of the odd integers are: 9000/2=4500 and the number of even integers: 9000/2 = 4500 c) to construct a 4−digit number having distinct digits we have several choices is 9 since the first digit, we cannot pick 0 so 9 ways to pick the second digit and 8 and 7 ways for other digits. so, we have the numbers that have a distinct digit 9*9*8*7=4536 d) We will construct a 4-digit odd number we have 5 choices for the last digit. we get 8 choices for the first digit (not zero or the same as the last digit), 8 and 7 choices for the second and third. So, we have 8×8×7×5=2,240 odd numbers with distinct digits. e) The prob that a randomly chosen four-digit integer has a distinct digit is: 4536 / 9000 = 63/125 and 2240/9000 = 56/225
