The solutions to examination 2 for the discrete structures course in the fall 2001 semester. It includes various mathematical problems related to sets, functions, equivalence relations, and hamming distance. Students are expected to identify true and false statements, determine the properties of functions, and prove statements using given definitions.

1. Circle T of the corresponding statement is True and F if it is False: T F 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + 1,000 = 500, T F If A is a non-empty set, and R is an Equivalence Relation on A, and a,b ∈ A, then ( a,b ) ∈ R.
T F If f :X → Y is a ONE-TO-ONE function then | X | = | f (X) |. T F If f :X → Y is a function and X has 10 elements, then f has 10 elements. T F If A is a set with 10 elements, then the smallest Equivalence Relation on A has 10 elements. T F If f and g are functions with f :X → Y and g :Y → Z, then f ° g = g ° f. T F If f :X → Y is a function and iY :Y → Y is the identity function on Y, then ( iY ° f ) = f.
T F 1 + 10 + 100 + 1000 + ...+10^1000 = 10^1001 − 1. T F If R is the Equivalence Relation on the Integers, Congurence Mod 7, then [23] = [1423].
2. Circle F for function, I for one-to-one, S for onto, and B for one-to-one correspondence as the properties apply to the relations below. Circle the BEST choice for each relation, i.e. only 1 answer for each. 3. Write :
a. as a summation in i ranging from i = 7 to 38 b. as a summation in j ranging from j = 9 to 40.
4. Let Σ = {0,1}and let H be the Hamming distance function on binary strings. Consider the relation:
R = {( s,t ) | s,t ∈ Σ^4 and H( s ,1010) = H( t ,1010)}. a. Prove that R is an Equivalence Relation. b. What partition of Σ 4 does the relation R induce?
5. Let f : R → R be the function f ( x ) = y = 11 x + 25. a. Show that that f is 1-1 and onto. b. Find f -1^ ( x ). 6. Let f = {(1, b ),(2, a ),(3, d ),(4, e ),(5, c )} and let g = {( a ,8),( b ,6),( c ,4),( d ,2),( e ,0)}.
Show ( g ° f ) −^1 = ( f −^1 ° g −^1 ).
7. Prove 1 of the following 2 statements: a. There exists a 1-1 correspondence between A = { y | y = 3 x + 2, for x ∈ N } and B = { y | y = 2 x + 3, for x ∈ N }. b. Using Weak Induction, show that 1 + 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 +...+ 2 n^ = 2 n +1^ − 1.
