Question

Please answer the question in the red circle. Thank you!

In this problem, we will deal with subsets AS R. Here, N= {0, 1, 2,...}.
Let's define two new concepts.
(i) We say that A is naturally increasing if
VxE A, 3y € A s.t. x‡ y AND y-xEN
(ii) We say that A is spottily decreasing if
3x € A s.t. Vy E A,x-y EN
Below are six claims. Which ones are true and which ones are false? If a claim is true, prove it. If a
claim is false, provide a counterexample and a justification of how the counterexample shows the claim
is false.
Hint: can you find a set A such that A is naturally increasing? can you find a set B such that B is
spottily decreasing?
(a)
If A is spottily decreasing, then A is naturally increasing.
This statement is O True O False
(b) If A is naturally increasing, then A is not spottily decreasing.
This statement is O True O False
(c) If A is not naturally increasing, then A is spottily decreasing.
This statement is O True O False
(d) If A is not spottily decreasing and A = Z, then A is naturally increasing.
This statement is O True O False
(e) If we have two sets A, BCR, A and B are both naturally increasing, then AU B is also naturally
increasing.
This statement is O True O False
(f) If we have two sets A, BCR, A and B are both spottily decreasing, then AU B is also spottily
decreasing.
This statement is O True O False
