Chapter 4, Problem 29E

Find the apportionment under Jefferson’s method of the Inter- Fraternia Congress described in Exercise 9 (Hint: Express the modified divisors in terms of percents of the total population and look for suitable divisors in the interval 0.49% to 0.5%.)

Table 4-27

Planet	A	B	C	D	E	F
Population percentage	11.37	8.07	38.62	14.98	10.42	16.54

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!

4. 5. 6. Let X be a set and let f: XX be a function. We say that f is an involution if fof idx and that f is idempotent if f f = f. (a) If f is an involution, must it be invertible? Why or why not?2 (b) If f is idempotent, must it be invertible? Why or why not? (c) If f is idempotent and x E range(f), prove that f(x) = x. Prove that [log3 536] 5. You proof must be verifiable by someone who does not have access to a scientific calculator or a logarithm table (you cannot use log3 536≈ 5.7). Define the sequence {a} by a = 2-i for i≥ 1. (a) Give the first five terms of the sequence. (b) Prove that the sequence is increasing.
