CMSC 203 - Discrete Structures - FINAL EXAMIMATION - Spring 2008
1. (a) Use the Laws of Logic to show: q ∨ ¬ (r → p) ≡ (q ∨ r) ∧ (p → q)
(b) Find the negation of the following Universal Conditional:
All people who like Mathematics get good jobs.
(c) Use the rules of inference to show the following is a valid argument:
p → q r ∧ ¬q p r → s ∴ s
2. (a) Find A × B for the sets A = {x, y} and B = {1, 2, 3}
(b) Using the Properties of Sets, show for any sets A, B and C, (A − B) − C = (A − C) − B.
3. (a) For F = {(b,g), (d,d), (g,a), (n,b), (r,b)}, what Domain and Image make F a function?
(b) Why or why not is the inverse in (a) a function?
(c) Find F(G(x)) for the following Real-valued functions: F(x) = 2(x+1) and G(x) = x − 2.
4. (a) Use the Euclidean Algorithm to find GCD(164, 78).
(b) Find Big-O of the algorithm whose complexity is F(n) = (2n5)(n7 + 5n5)(n4 + 2n + 1).
5. Prove 1 of the 2 Theorems below:
Theorem 1: The function f: R → R given by f(x) = π(x + e) is a bijection.
Theorem 2: The square root of 3 is irrational. (Assume: If 3 divides INT2 then 3 divides INT)
6. (a) Find the next 3 terms of the sequence sn = 3sn-1 − 2sn-2 when s0 = 1 and s1 = 0.
(b) Find an expression for the series:
7. Prove 1 of the 2 Theorems that follow by Mathematical Induction.
Theorem 1: (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + n) = [n(n + 1)] / 2.
Theorem 2: Is sn = sn-1 + sn-2 + sn-3 + sn-4 when s0 = s1 = s2 = s3 = 2 then sn is even, for all n > 4.
8. (a) A restaurant serves 5 soups, 5 salads, 20 entrees, 5 desserts, and 10 beverages. How many dinners
can they create if each dinner consists of a soup or salad, an entree, and a dessert or
beverage?
(b) How many binary strings of length 16 have no more than 3 zeros?
(c) How many ways can judges award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place prizes to 25 contestants?
(d) How many distinct piles of 100 coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars)
can I create from a vast quantity of coins, if I must have at least 10 of each in its pile?
