Explanation of Solution
Extended Backus Normal Form:
Backus Normal Form or Backus-Naur Form (BNF) is one of the notation techniques for context free grammars, used to describe the syntax of languages used in
EBNF means Extended Backus-Naur Form. The work extensions do is to enhance the descriptive power of BNF as in readability and writability.
Three common extensions:
The first extension denotes an optional part of a RHS, which is delimited by brackets.
For example, a C language if-else statement can be described as:
If (statement)
else {statement}
It’s a simpl

By dragging statements from the left column to the right column below, give a proof by induction of the following statement:
an
=
= 9" - 1 is a solution to the recurrence relation an = 9an-18 with ao
=
: 0.
The correct proof will use 8 of the statements below.
Statements to choose from:
Note that a₁ =
9a0 + 8.
Now assume that P(n) is true for all n ≥ 0.
Your Proof: Put chosen statements in order in this
column and press the Submit Answers button.
Let P(n) be the predicate, "a = 9″ – 1".
απ = 90 − 1 =
Note that
Let P(n) be the predicate, "an
9" - 1 is a
solution to the recurrence relation an = 9an-1 +8
with ao = 0."

Now assume that P(k + 1) is true.
Thus P(k) is true for all k.
Thus P(k+1) is true.
Then ak+1
=
9ak +8, so P(k + 1) is true.
= 1 − 1 = 0, as required.
Then = 9k — 1.
ak
Now assume that P(k) is true for an arbitrary
integer k ≥ 1.
By the recurrence relation, we have
ak+1 =
ak+1 =
= 9ak + 8 = 9(9k − 1) + 8
This simplifies to
9k+19+8 = 9k+1 − 1
Then 9k+1 − 1 = 9(9*…
Given the following request to an AI chatbot, which response is more accurate? (You should use Google to verify that the factual claims in each response are accurate.)
Prompt
Is this true? The first recorded use of the phrase "when pigs fly" in print is in a 1616 play by Ben Jonson called "The Devil is an Ass," in which a character says, "When pigs fly, good-night!!"
Response
Response A
Response B
Yes, that's true! The phrase "when pigs fly" indeed appears in Ben Jonson's 1616 play The Devil is an Ass and was said during the second act in a conversation between Fitzdottrel and Pug. The phrase was first used to express skepticism or disbelief, suggesting that something is as unlikely to happen as the fanciful idea of pigs flying. This usage is often cited as one of the earliest instances of the phrase in print.
The claim that the phrase "when pigs fly" was first recorded in Ben Jonson's 1616 play "The Devil is an Ass" is not accurate. There is no evidence from the…

- Please answer the homework scenario below and make a JAVA OOP code. You have been hired by GMU to create and manage their course registration portal. Your first task is to develop a program that will create and track different courses in the portal. Each course has the following properties: • a course number ex. IT 106, IT 206, • A course description, ex. Intro to Programming • Total credit hour ex. 3.0, and • current enrollment ex. 30 Each course must have at least a course number and credit hours. The maximum enrollment for each course is 40 students. The current enrollment should be no greater than the maximum enrollment. A course can have a maximum of 4 credit hour. The DDC should calculate the number of seats remaining for the course. Design an object-oriented solution to create a data definition class for the course object.
