Learning. A student enrolled in a stenotyping class progressed at a rate of N ′ ( t ) = ( t + 10 ) e − 0.1 t words per minute per week t weeks after enrolling in a 15-week course. If a student had no knowledge of stenotyping (that is, if the student could stenotype at 0 words per minute) at the beginning of the course, then how many words per minute N ( t ) would the student be expected to handle t weeks into the course? How long, to the nearest week, should it take the student to achieve 90 words per minute? How many words per minute should the student be able to handle by the end of the course?

2. Consider the following argument:
(a)
Seabiscuit is a thoroughbred.
Seabiscuit is very fast.
Every very fast racehorse can win the race.
.. Therefore, some thoroughbred racehorse can win the race.
Let us define the following predicates, whose domain is racehorses:
T(x) x is a thoroughbred
F(x) x is very fast
R(x) x can win the race
:
Write the above argument in logical symbols using these predicates.
(b)
Prove the argument using the rules of inference. Do not make use of conditional
proof.
(c)
Rewrite the proof using full sentences, avoiding logical symbols. It does not
need to mention the names of rules of inference, but a fellow CSE 16 student should be
able to understand the logical reasoning.

4. Prove the following. Use full sentences. Equations in the middle of sentences are fine, but do
not use logical symbols.
(a)
(b)
(n+3)2 is odd for every even integer n.
It is not the case that whenever n is an integer such that 9 | n² then 9 | n.
