The final exam for math 201-803, which took place on december 14, 2009. The exam covers various topics in boolean algebra, sets, venn diagrams, and matrix algebra. It includes multiple-choice questions, problems that require drawing venn diagrams, and problems that require using logical properties and properties of boolean algebra to simplify expressions.

(3) 1. Evaluate the expressions:
(a) 10C 4 (b) 10P^4 (c)
(4) 2. (a) In how many ways can a president, a vice president and a treasurer be selected for a club with 7 members? (b) Six students are going to be chosen at random from a class of 20 students to take a trip to Ottawa. In how many ways can this be done?
(3) 3. Let A = { 1 , 3 , 5 }, B = { 2 , 4 , 6 } and U = {x ∈ N : 1 ≤ x ≤ 10 }.
a) Are A and B equivalent? Explain. b) Find A. c) Find A ∩ B and A ∪ B
(2) 4. Draw a Venn diagram and show by hatching the following set: (B ∩ C) ∪ (A ∪ C)
(5) 5. For each expression, name the property from the given list and say whether it is a set property, a network property, or a logic property: associative, closure, commutative, complement, con- tradiction, DeMorgan, distributive, double complement, double negation, idempotent, identity, property of 1 (or 0), tautology.
a) (p ∧ p) ↔ p b) A ∩ A = ∅ c) A · B = A + B d) ∼ (∼ p) ↔ p e) A + B · C = (A + B) · (A + C)
(1) 6. What is a contradiction?
(4) 7. Use a truth table to determine whether or not ∧ (NAND) distribute over ∨ (EOR). That is, whether or not [p ∧ (q ∨ r)] is equivalent to [(p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)].
(6) 8. Use a truth table to determine whether the argument is valid or not.
H: If there are two books on the table, then one of them belongs to Jane. If one of the books belongs to Jane, then Jane is happy. Jane is not happy.
C: There are not two books on the table.
(3) 9. Use a Venn diagram to determine the validity of the argument.
H: All Pandas are black and white. Some black and white animals are endangered.
C: Some Pandas are endangered.
(4) 10.If you have a flu, then you must stay home for seven days.
a) Write the converse, the contrapositive, and the inverse of the implication above. b) Say which among the four statements are equivalent.
(4) 11.Find a Boolean table for the expression: a) A · B + A · B b) Write a logical statement which is analogous to this expression.
(2) 12.Draw a network to represent the given boolean expression: F [(A + CD) + (EF G)]
(5) 13.Simplify each expression, justifying each step using properties of Boolean algebra. a) A + AB + B b) AB + BC + B(C + B)
(6) 14.Classify each system below (without solving) as dependent or independent, consistent with one solution only, consistent with infinitely many solutions or inconsistent. Justify your answers.
a) 3 x − 2 y = 3 2 x − 3 y = 3
b) 5 x − 2 y = 3 2 y − 5 x = − 3

(4) 18.Given the linear system
x − y − 3 z = 0 −x + 2y + 4z = − 1 x + y = 3 a) write the system in matrix form AX = B.
b) If A−^1 =
, solve the system using A−^1.
b) The original statement is equivalent to contrapositive. The converse statement is equivalent to inverse.
a) It is 0 when A 6 = B, (A = 1, B = 0 or A = 0, B = 1) and 1 when A = B(A = 1, B = 1 or A = 0, B = 0). b) p ↔ q (or equivalent statement (p ∧ q) ∨ (∼ p∧ ∼ q))
