Question

5.2.6          Discrete Mathematics

(I filled in as much as I could)

  1. A) determine which amounts of postage can be formed using just 3 - cent and 10 - cent  stamps.

3,6,9,10,12,13,15,16,18,19,21,23,24,26,27,29,30,...,L*3+H*10

  1. C) prove your answer to (a) using strong induction. How does this inductive hypothesis in this proof differ from that in the inductive hypothesis for proof using mathematical induction?

Base step:

need to show is T for 3,13,26

Statment of the Base Step:

3 = L*3+H*10 non-negative integers

13 = L*3+H*10 non-negative integers

26 = L*3+H*10 non-negative integers

Statment of the Base Step:

3 = 1*3+0*10

13 = 1*3+1*10

26 = 2*3+2*10

Statement of the inductive step

 

 

 

Proof of the inductive step

 

 

 

Invoke the principle of strong induction

Since the base step and the inductive step are true by the principle of strong induction all amounts of postage __________ can be obtained using 3 and 10 cent stamps
