CIS 607: Mathematical Basis for Computing SOLUTIONS OF HOMEWORK 2 Homework 2 鈥 Sets, Functions and Relations Due Date: March 9, 2017 In this homework, you will answer the following questions. Prepare a pdf file for your solutions and upload that pdf file into the blackboard system. Q1) a) Find the power set of each of these sets, where a and b are distinct elements. 飩 {a, b, c} 飪 PS({a,b,c}) = {鈭? {a},{b},{c},{a,b}{a,c},{b,c},{a,b,c}} 飩 {鈭? {鈭厎} 飪 PS({鈭? {鈭厎}) = {鈭? {鈭厎,{{鈭厎},{鈭? {鈭厎}} b) Find A3 if 飩 A = {a}. 飪 A3 = {(a, a, a)} 飩 A = {0, a}. 飪 A3 = {(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, a), (0, a, 0), (0, a, a), (a, 0, 0), (a, 0, a), (a, a, 0), (a, a, a)} c) Cardinalities of Cartesian products. 飩 How many different elements does A 脳 B have if A has m elements and B has n elements? 飪 mn 飩 How many different elements does A 脳 B 脳 C have if A has m elements, B has n elements, and C has p elements? 飪 mnp 飩 How many different elements does An have when A has m elements and n is a positive integer? 飪 mn Q2) a) Let A, B, and C be sets. Show that _________ _ _ _ 飩 A 鈭 B 鈭 C = A 鈭 B 鈭 C 飪 Suppose that x in the left side. x 鈭 A 鈭 B 鈭 C x 鈭 A or x 鈭 B or x 鈭 C x in the right side. 飪 Suppose that x in the right side. x is not in A, or x is not in B or x is not in C. So, x is not in A 鈭 B 鈭 C So, x is the left side. 飩 (A 鈭 B) 鈭 C 鈯 A 鈥 C Suppose that x 鈭 (A 鈭 B) 鈭 C. Then x is in A鈭払 but not in C. Since x 鈭 A鈭払, we know that x 鈭 A. Since we have established that x 鈭 A but x 鈭 C, we have proved that x 鈭 A 鈭 C. 飩 (A 鈭 C) 鈭 (C 鈭 B) = 鈭 To show that the set given on the left-hand side is empty, it suffices to assume that x
