Define the following predicates:

Real( x) = “x is a real number”.

Pos(x) = “x is a positive real number.”

Neg(x) = “x is a negative real number.”

Int(x) = “x is an integer.”

Rewrite the following statements without using quantifiers. Determine which

statements are true or false and justify your answer as best you can.

a) Pos(0)

b) ∀x, Real(x) ∧ Neg(x) → Pos(−x)

c) ∀x, Int(x) → Real(x)

d) ∃x such that Real(x) ∧∼ Int(x)

Prove or disprove the statements: (a) If x is a real number such that |x + 2| + |x| ≤ 1, then x 2 + 2x − 1 ≤ 2. (b) If x is a real number such that |x + 2| + |x| ≤ 2, then x 2 + 2x − 1 ≤ 2. (c) If x is a real number such that |x + 2| + |x| ≤ 3, then x 2 + 2x − 1 ≤ 2....

Define a function replaceCharAtPos(orig,pos) which receives two input parameters, a string (orig) and a positive integer number (pos). If the number is a position within the string, the function should return a new string. The new string should be the original string except that instead of the original character in that position pos, it should have the position number itself (if the position number has more than 1 digit, the character should be replaced by the digit in the units part...

Recall that the absolute value |x| for a real number x is defined as the function |x| = x if x ≥ 0 or −x if x < 0. Prove that, for any real numbers x and y, we have (a) | − x| = |x|. (b) |xy| = |x||y|. (c) |x-1| = 1/|x|. Here we assume that x is not equal to 0. (d) −|x| ≤ x ≤ |x|.

Suppose that x is real number. Prove that x+1/x =2 if and only if x=1. Prove that there does not exist a smallest positive real number. Is the result still true if we replace ”real number” with ”integer”? Suppose that x is a real number. Use either proof by contrapositive or proof by contradiction to show that x3 + 5x = 0 implies that x = 0.

Define the random variable X to be the number of times in the month of June (which has 30 days) Susan wakes up before 6am a. X fits binomial distribution, X-B(n,p). What are the values of n and p? c. what is the probability that Susan wakes us up before 6 am 5 or fewer days in June? d. what is the probability that Susan wakes up before 6am more than 12 times?
