The fall 2007 exam for the discrete structures course (cmsc203) at the university level. The exam covers various topics in discrete structures, including logical statements, sets, functions, and graph theory. It includes multiple-choice questions, a compound statement truth table, and a proof of validity using the logic of valid arguments.

Fall 2007 - CMSC203 - Discrete Structures - Exam 1
1. Circle T for True or F for False as they apply to the following statements: T F Tautology and contradiction are logical negations of one another. T F A Conditional Statement and its Converse are logically equivalent. T F The Empty (Null) set is a subset of itself. T F Half the subsets of {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} contain the element 3.
T F The set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} has 64 non-empty subsets. T F For any non-empty sets A and B, |A x B| = |B x A|.
T F The Cardinality of the Rationals and the Irrationals is the same. T F If s is a binary string of length 8 and t = ( s ⊕ 00000000), then s = t.
2. Find the truth table for the compound statement: [( p ↔ q ) ∨ r ] ⊕ [ p ∧ (¬ q → r )] 3. Find the related forms for the statement: For all Integers, x , if x is odd, then ( x + 2) is odd. CONVERSE: __________________________ NEGATION: ___________________________. 4. Draw a graph for a function, f :{1, 2, 3, 4}→ { w, x, y, z }, that is: (a) onto; (b) one-to-one. 5. Show that the function f : R → R defined as f ( x ) = 5 x − 12 is a bijection. 6. Calculate the following (assuming all strings are from the alphabet {0, 1}):
7. (a) Let f = {(0, c ), (1, a ), (2, e ), (3, d ), (4 , b )} and g = {( a , 2), ( b , 3), ( c , 0), ( d , 1), ( e , 4)}. Show that ( g ° f ) −^1 = f −^1 ° g −^1. (b) Find the Inverse of the function of h = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (3 ,1), (4, 4), (5, 1)}. 8. Use the logic of valid arguments to determine whether or not we can deduce t :
9. Use the Properties of Sets to verify for any sets A and B: (Ac^ − B) c^ = A ∪ B
