Textbook Question

Chapter 11.4, Problem 51E

Exercises 49-54 deal with sickle cell anemia, an inherited disease in which red blood cells become distorted and deprived of oxygen. Approximately 1 in every 500 African-American infants is born with the disease; only 1 in 160,000 white infants has the disease. A person with two sickle cell genes will have the disease, but a person with only one sickle cell gene will have a mild, nonfatal anemia called sickle cell trait. (Approximately 8%-10% of the African-American population has this trait.)

		Second Parent
				S	s
First	S	SS	Ss
Parent	s	sS	ss

If we use s to represent a sickle cell gene and S a healthy gene, the above table shows the four possibilities for the children of two Ss parents. Each parent has only one sickle cell gene, so each has the relatively mild sickle cell trait. Find the probability that these parents give birth to a child who

is healthy.

Apply Euler's method on the next differential equation with the initial initial value and in the given interval. You must include: a) table and b) graph.\\\[\frac{d y}{d x}=y^{2}-4 x, \quad y(0)=0.5 ; \quad 0 \leq x \leq 2, \quad \Delta x=0.25\]

7. Define the sequence {b} by bo = 0 Ել ։ = 2 8. bn=4bn-1-4bn-2 for n ≥ 2 (a) Give the first five terms of this sequence. (b) Prove: For all n = N, bn = 2nn. Let a Rsuch that a 1, and let nЄ N. We're going to derive a formula for Σoa without needing to prove it by induction. Tip: it can be helpful to use C1+C2+...+Cn notation instead of summation notation when working this out on scratch paper. (a) Take a a² and manipulate it until it is in the form Σ.a. i=0 (b) Using this, calculate the difference between a Σ0 a² and Σ0 a², simplifying away the summation notation. i=0 (c) Now that you know what (a – 1) Σ0 a² equals, divide both sides by a − 1 to derive the formula for a². (d) (Optional, just for induction practice) Prove this formula using induction.

3. Let A, B, and C be sets and let f: A B and g BC be functions. For each of the following, draw arrow diagrams that illustrate the situation, and then prove the proposition. (a) If ƒ and g are injective, then go f is injective. (b) If ƒ and g are surjective, then go f is surjective. (c) If gof is injective then f is injective. Make sure your arrow diagram shows that 9 does not need to be injective! (d) If gof is surjective then g is surjective. Make sure your arrow diagram shows that f does not need to be surjective!
