Justify your answers and SHOW ALL WORKING. Poor presentation may

result in the loss of marks.

Let A be a set with 9 elements. How many odd size subsets does A have? [3 marks]1.

Use induction to prove that 17n ? 17 is divisible by 4 for all n ∈ N. [5 marks]2.

Define f, g : N→ R by f(n) = n4 + 2 and g(n) = 3n3 · cos(n4 + 1).3.

a) Prove that g(n) = O(f(n)). [2 marks]

b) Prove that f(n) 6= O(g(n)). [3 marks]

4.

a) Compute the binomial coefficient. Justify and explain your answer. [1 mark]

b) Let n ≥ 2. Show that the number of 2-subsets of an n-element set is equal to n(n 1)2.

[1 mark]

c) Suppose you have two boxes. The first box has 9 distinguishable fruits and the

second has 7 distinguishable sandwiches. Suppose you want to take 6 fruits and 3

sandwiches from these boxes for a hike. How many choices do you have? You can leave

the answer in terms of binomial coefficients. [5 marks]
