Prove the following statements using strong induction: n 1. Σ γ = i=0 1-p+1 1-r for every non-negative integer n and every real number r 1. 2. Suppose that a store offers gift certificates in denominations of $3 and $5. Then any item priced at an integer number of dollars of value at least $8 can be paid for with these gift certificates without a need to use any other form of currency. For example, an item priced $16 can be paid with two $3 gift certificates and two $5 gift certificates.

Use strong induction to prove the following:
Write a formal proof for the following biconditional statement.For all integers n, n^3 is even if and only if n is even.[Hint: For one of the two directions of this proof, you might want to consider a proof using the contrapositive.][Reminder: You may use the parity property, which states that each integeris either even or odd, but not both.]
For n 2 1, let a, be the number of ways to tile a 1 x n strip with 1 x 1 squares and 1 x 2 dominoes. The squares can be blue or red, while all dominoes are white. What is a2? Answer:
For which value(s) of x ∈R is the following statement false? Why? If |x −3|= 1, then |x −2|= 2. Please give proper explanation and typed answer only.
2- Prove that the following statements are true (7) or false (F). (let log n = log2 n). You must define first what you are trying to prove using the limit definition. a) n³/log n = O(n), for any integer constant 2 ≤ k ≤ 3. E b) n+nlog n = (n log n), for any positive integer constant k. c) n log n² = Q(), for any integer constant k> 0.
You are given a N*N maze with a rat placed at maze[0][0]. Find whether any path exist that rat can follow to reach its destination i.e. maze[N-1][N-1]. Rat can move in any direction ( left, right, up and down).Value of every cell in the maze can either be 0 or 1. Cells with value 0 are blocked means rat cannot enter into those cells and those with value 1 are open.Input FormatLine 1: Integer NNext N Lines: Each line will contain ith row elements (separated by space)Output Format :The output line contains true if any path exists for the rat to reach its destination otherwise print false.Sample Input 1 :31 0 11 0 11 1 1Sample Output 1 :trueSample Input 2 :31 0 11 0 10 1 1Sample Output 2 : false Solution: //// public class Solution { public static boolean ratInAMaze(int maze[][]){ int n = maze.length; int path[][] = new int[n][n]; return solveMaze(maze, 0, 0, path); } public static boolean solveMaze(int[][] maze, int i, int j, int[][] path) {//…
