Given arbitrary sets A, B, and C, complete the given membership table to verify whether the two sets, A – (B ⋂ C) and (A – B) ⋂ (A – C), are equal. Tip:  For any cells of the table that display beyond the right border of the question box, use the TAB →| key to move from cell to cell, rather than ‘clicking’ in a cell to make an entry.

The function f : ℤ+ ⟶ ℕ defined by f(x) = ⌊ x – 1 ⌋ is a bijection. [Note the use of the floor function in the definition of function f.]

Prove the following statement using a proof by cases.   [Hint: there are 3 cases] “For all non-negative integers n ≤ 2, n2 ≤ 2n.” Use good proof technique.   Grading rubric:1 pt. State any givens and assumptions. 3 pt. Clearly identify the cases and prove each case.1 pt. State the final conclusion at the end of the proof. Note:  To avoid the need for typing superscript exponents, you may use the expression ‘n-squared’ or ‘n^2’ to represent n2.  Also the ≤ symbol can be written as

For all sets A and B, ∅ ⊆ (A ⋂ B).

Consider proving the following statement using a proof by contradiction. “The sum of an irrational number and rational number is irrational.” What do you assume as true to begin the proof?   [Assume]  What do you demonstrate must be true to complete the proof?   [Prove]  

Let Ak  = { x ∈ ℝ | k-1 ≤  x  ≤ k }, for each positive integer k.   What is , where n is an arbitrary integer ≥ 2?

If A = { a, b, c } and B = { b, { c }}, then | ???? (A ⋃ B) | = 16.

Given arbitrary sets A, B, and C, complete the given membership table to verify whether the two sets, A – (B – C) and C – (B – A), are equal.

Prove, or provide a counterexample to disprove, the following statement:             “The function f : ℕ ⟶ ℕ  be defined by f(n) = n2 + 5  is one-to-one.” Use good proof technique. Grading rubric: 1 pt. State the definition of one-to-one at the beginning, then prove or disprove. 1 pt. State any givens and assumptions. 1 pt. Clearly explain your reasoning. 1 pt. Remember to state the final conclusion at the end of the proof. Note:  To avoid the need for typing superscript exponents, you may use the expression ‘n^2’ or ‘n-squared’ to represent n2.
