Let p and q be two linearly independent vectors in R^n
such that ||p||_2=1, ||q||_2=1 . Let A=pq^T+qp^T.
determine the kernel, nullspace,rank and eigenvalue
decomposition of A in terms of p and q.
give a constructive proof of fn = Q^n + P^n/ Q - P ,
where Q is the positive root
and P is negative root of x^2 - x - 1= 0
fn is nth term of fibonacci sequence, f1 = 1 f2, f3 = f2 +f1,
... fn= fn_1 +fn_2 , n>2
Suppose P, Q and R are atomic propositions.
(a) Show that the conjunction connective satisfies the
commutative and associativity property.
(b) Show that the disjunction connective satisfies the
commutative and associativity property.
(c) Construct a propositional form using all three atomic
propositions above as well as the connectives conjunction,
disjunction and conditional.
(d) Construct an equivalent propositional form for (c).
1. Show that the argument
(a) p → q
q → p
therefore p V
q
is invalid using the truth table.
( 6 marks )
(b) p → q
P
therefore p
is invalid using the truth
table. ( 6 marks )
(c) p → q
q → r
therefore p →
r
is invalid using the
truth table. ( 8 marks )
1.) Suppose that the statement form ((p ∧ ∼ q)∨(p ∧ ∼ r))∧(∼ p ∨
∼ s) is true. What can you conclude about the truth values of the
variables p, q, r and s? Explain your reasoning
2.Use the Laws of Logical Equivalence (provided in class and in
the textbook page 35 of edition 4 and page 49 of edition 5) to show
that: ((∼ (p ∨ ∼ q) ∨ (∼ p ∧ ∼ r)) ∧ s) ≡ ((r...
