Structural Induction on WFF For a formula α ∈ WFF we let `(α) denote the number of symbols in α that are left brackets ‘(’, let v(α) the number of variable symbols, and c(α) the number of symbols that are the corner symbol ‘¬’. For example in ((p1 → p2) ∧ ((¬p1) → p2)) we have `(α) = 4, v(α) = 4 and c(α) = 1. Prove by induction that he following property holds for all well formed formulas: • `(α) = v(α) + c(α) − 1

Let τ (n) denote the number of positive divisors of n and σ(n) denote the sum of the positive divisors of n (as in the notes). (a) Evaluate τ (1500) and σ(8!). (b) Verify that τ (n) = τ (n + 1) = τ (n + 2) = τ (n + 3) holds for n = 3655 and 4503. (c) When n = 14, n = 206 and n = 957, show that σ(n) = σ(n + 1).

There is a box with space for 16 items. Let A denote the number of things that are type one and B the number of things that are type two. Assume that A and B are independent random variables. Assume that all possible (a,b) pairs are equally likely. I) How many possible pairs (a,b) are there? II) Which event is more likely {A = 1} or {B = 0}? Justify your answer. III) Compute P(B=5) and P(A=10) IV) If there...

Let V denote the number of units of a variable input (i.e., nitrogen fertilizer) that is used in combination with a fixed input (i.e., land). Let TP denote the total amount of production of a crop (i.e., corn) that is obtained from using each input level. Point A is a point of inflection. 1. TP increases at a decreasing rate ____________. (Points: 20) a. from O to A b. from A to C c. beyond point O d. beyond point C...

Two fair dice are rolled at once. Let x denote the difference in the number of dots that appear on the top faces of the two dice. For example, if a 1 and a 5 are rolled, the difference is 5−1=4, so x=4. If two sixes are rolled, 6−6=0, so x=0. Construct the probability distribution for x. Arrange x in increasing order and write the probabilities P(x) as simplified fractions.
