Question

Transcribed Image Text:4. Suppose you have a set W containing n weights, namely 1 gram,
2 grams, 4 grams, 8 grams and so on until 2-1 grams.
Prove that for any natural number between 1 and 2n – 1, you can
find a subset of W whose total weight in grams is the number
chosen.
· Prove that no other set of powers has the same property.
.
Explain the mathematical sense of the previous point.
