Discrete Mathematics: Please Help me with Question 9 (See attachments, they are split between the pages: parts a,b,c)

Certainly, here is the transcription of the provided text, suitable for an educational website:

---

1. Compute the following

   a) \(\prod_{n=2}^{58} (-1)^n\)

   b) \(2+5+8+11+\ldots+302+305\)

   c) \(\sum_{i=0}^{100} \frac{i}{1000!}\)

   d) \(\frac{1000!}{998!}\)

2. For the following recursive functions, find f(1), f(2), f(3), and f(4)

   \(f(0) = 2\)

   \(f(k) = k - (f(k-1))^2\)

   \[
   \begin{align*}
   f(1) &= 1 - (f(0))^2 = 1 - 4 = -3 \\
   f(2) &= 2 - (f(1))^2 = 2 - (-3)^2 = 2 - 9 = -7 \\
   f(3) &= 3 - (f(2))^2 = 3 - 49 = -46 \\
   f(4) &= 4 - (f(3))^2 = 4 - (-46)^2 = 4 - 2116 = -2112
   \end{align*}
   \]

3. Prove that \(S_n = \frac{n^2 + n}{2}\) is a solution of the recursive relation

   \[
   \begin{align*}
   S_1 &= 1 \\
   S_k &= S_{k-1} + k \quad \text{for} \, k > 1
   \end{align*}
   \]

4. Using pattern recognition, solve the recursive relation

   a) \(f(0) = 4\)

   b) \(f(k) = 5 + 1.1f(k-1) \quad \text{for} \, k > 0\)

   c) Evaluate f(10)

5. Prove: \(n^3 + 5n\) is divisible by 6 for all integer \(n \geq 0\).

6. Use mathematical induction to prove that 
   
   \(2+5+8

**Mathematics Problem Set**

**c) Find the Inverse of \( f(x) \)**

---

**10. Set Theory Problem**

Define the sets:
- \( S = \{x \mid x \mod 4 = 3\} \)
- \( T = \{y \mid y \mod 2 = 1\} \)

Prove that \( S \) is a subset of \( T \).

--- 

### Explanation

In this problem, we are asked to prove that every element of set \( S \) is also an element of set \( T \).

1. **Set \( S \):** Consists of numbers \( x \) such that when divided by 4, the remainder is 3.

2. **Set \( T \):** Consists of numbers \( y \) such that when divided by 2, the remainder is 1 (odd numbers).

**Proof Strategy:**

- When a number \( x \) has a remainder of 3 when divided by 4, it can be expressed in the form \( x = 4k + 3 \) where \( k \) is an integer.
- This number \( x = 4k + 3 \) will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2, indicating that it is an odd number and thus an element of \( T \).
  
Thus, \( S \subseteq T \).
