Lets remind ourselves the definition:
The union of sets A and B is the set
AUB:= {4:26 Aorsre B}
The intersection of sets A and B is the set
AN B:= {e:2€ Aand r€ B}
The complement of B relative to A is the set
A\B:={z:r€ Aands ¢ B}
First lets write the given sets in a different way which will give us a notion
of these sets.
A= {1,2,3.4,..., 19, 20}
B = {2,5,8, 11. 14,17, 20, 23, ...}
C = (3,5, 7,9, 11, 13, 15,17, 19, 21. ...}
Now we can see that A is a sct of natural numbers from 1 to 20. B is a set
of all natural numbers that give us a remainder 2 after dividing them with
3 and C is a set of odd natural numbers greater than 1.
(a)
Now we have to determine the intersection of three given sets. By the
definition, lets first determine the intersection of A and B since the intersection
is associative.
Al:= ANB ={x:r€ And ze B) = {2,5,8,11, 14,17, 20}
Now all we are left to do is determine the intersection of A’ and C
A'NC = {a4 € Aland x € C} = (5,11, 17}
We easily found those numbers just by selecting the odd numbers from the
set A’. Therefore. the final solution ixBN

(b)
In assignment (a) we have already determined the intersection of sets A and
B and defined it as A’. All we have to do now is find the complement of C
relative to A’ using the above definition
A\ Cs (sre A’ and rg C} = (2,8, 11,20)
We found that set just by selecting the even numbers in set A’ since set C
is consisted only of odd numbers. Therefore, the final solution is
(c)
Now we first have to determine the intersection of sets A and C using the
definition above
C= ANC = {aia € A and x €C} = {3,5,7.9,11, 13,15, 17,19}
We choose those numbers since the set A is consisted of all natural numbers
less than 20 and we can see that all odd numbers greater than 1 in that set
are the same as in C. Now we have to obtain the complement of B relative
to C’ using the above definition
C\B
z:2€C' ands ¢ B} = {3,7,9, 13,15, 19}
We did that just by removing all natural numbers which have a reminder 2
when dividing by 3 from the set C’. Therefore, the final solution is
(AN O)\ B= (3,7,9.13, 15, 19)
RESULT
(a) ANBNC = {5, 11,17}

(c) AN(B\ A) =0To show an equivalence between two statements, we can show that each
implies the other. That'll be our strategy here. So up first ...
ACB=>ANB=A:
Remember that to prove equality of two sets, we need to show that each
is bset of the other. However, A B will always be a subset of A by
|. So we really just need to show that
ACB => ACANB
Let's do that.
Suppose that A C B. Then that means that for every x € A, we have x € B.
Now let a such that a € A. From the above, we thus see that a € B as well.
Hence a € ANB. Since this is true for any a € A, we see that AC AN B.
Hence we have shown AC B => ANB = A as required.
ANB=A=>ACB:
Suppose AN B — A. This means a couple of things, but in particular it
means that A C ANB which says that ifr € Athens € ANB.. Let a such
that a ¢ A. By supposition then a € ANB. But AN BC B. Hence ac B.
Since this is true for any a € A, we see that AC B.
Hence we have shown that AN B= A => AC B as required.

We prove both statements using the two inclusions (more precisely, using
Definition 1.1.1).
(a)
D<(A\ B)U(B\ A). Let x € D. Then, by definition of D, x is either in
A but not in B or in B but not in A (this is exactly another interpretation
of “either A or B but not both”). Now to write it using symbols ifr is in
A but not in B, then x € A\B, and if 7 is in B but not in A, then x € B\ A.
Using this, since 2 is either in A but not in B or in B but not in A, we have
that x € A\ Bor € B\ A. So, x € (A\ B)U(B\ A) by the definition
of the union of sets. With this, the inclusion 2 ¢ (A\ B)U(B\ A) is proven.
(A\ B)U(B\ A) CD. Let x € (A\ B)U(B\ A). Then z € A\ Bor
Te B\A. re A\B, then € A, but x ¢ B. So, x is in exnctly one of A
and B, but not both (it is in A. but not in B). Similar conclusion follows if
x ¢ B\ A —then zis in B but not in A. Thus, x € D by definition of D.
With this, the inelusion (A \ B) U(B\ A) C D is proven,
Conclusion. Since DC (A\ B)U(B\ A) and (A\ B)U(B\ A) ¢ D, D and
(A\ B)U(B\ A) contain the same elements, hence (A\ B)U(B\ A) = D.
(b) ~
D(AUB)\ (AO B). Let x € D™The set of elements which are either in
Aor Bis the union of A and B; that is, AUB. The set of elements which are
in both A and 2 is the intersection of A and B: that ix, AM B. Since x is in
cither A and B, but not in both of them, we have that x € (AUB)\(ANB) by
the definition of set difference. With this, the inclusion D ¢ (AUB)\(ANB)
is proven.

conclude that (AU B)\ (AM B) = D.

Let a,b R.
(a) If a+b =0 then adding —a to both sides of the equation we have that
(a) + (a+b) = (-a) +0.
Hence, since (—a) + (a+) = ((—a) +4) +6 =0+6 = band (—a)+0=—-a
we have that b= -a.
(b) We have that -(-@) + (-a) = 0.
Adding a to both sides of the equation -(-a) + (-a) = 0 we have that
(-(-@) +(-a)) +a=0+a.
Hence, since
(-(-a) + (-a)) +a = ~(—a) + ((-@) +a) = -(~a) + 0 = ~(~a)
and 0-+a=a we have that —(—a) =a.
(c) By Theorem 2.1.2 (c) we have that that a-0 =0.
Thus, since 1 +(—1) =0 and 1-a=a we have that
0-a=0-a=(1+(-I)ja=1-a+(-1)-a=a+(-la
and therefore, a+ (—1)a = 0.
Adding —a to both sides of the equation a + (—1)a = 0 we have that
-a+(a+(-1)a)=-a+0.
Hence, since
—a+ (a+ (—1)a) = (—a +a) +(—1)a=0+4(-1)a=(-l)a
and —a + 0 = —a we have that (—1)a = —a.Hence, since
—a+(a+(—1)a) = (—-a+a) +(-l)ja=—0+(-lja=(-lja
and —a +0 = —a we have that (—1)a = —a.

(d) By item (c) we have that (—1)(—1) = —(-1) and by item (b) we have
that —(-1)=1.
Hence, (—1)(—1) = 1.
RESULT
HINTS:
(a) Add —a to both sides.
(b) Add a to both sides.
(c) We know that a-0 = 0.
(d) Combine (b) and (c).Let a,b € R.
(a) —(a+b)+(a-+) = 0 then adding (—a)-+(—6) to both sides of the equation
we have that (—(a-+ 5) + (a+8)) + (a) + (-B)) = 0+ ((-a) + (-8)).
Observe now that
(—(a +b) + (a +b)) + ((-a) + (-b)) = —(a-+ d) + ((a +8) + (a) + (8)
= —(a +b) + (((a +6) + (—a)) + (-b))
—(a + b) + (((—a) + (a + 4)) + (—8))
—(a +b) + (((-a) +4) +6) + (-b))
—(a+b) + ((0+b) +(—B))
—(a+b) + (b+ (-0))
—(a+6)+0

oun wd
and 0 + ((—a) + (—b)) = (—a) + (—0).
Thus, —(a +b) = (-a) + (0).
D2
(b) By exercise 1(¢) we have that (—L)a = —a and (—1)b = —b which gives
us that (—a)(—b) = ((—1)a)((—1)8).
Observe that ((—1)a)((—1)b) = (((=1)a)(—1) )b = ((—1)((-1)a))b = (((—1)(-1)) ab.
By exercise 1(d) we have that (=1)(—1) = Land therefore (((=1)(-1))a)b=
(1ayb = ab.
Hence, (—a)(—b) = ab.
(c) If a0 we have by item (b) thnt (~a) (- ()) mark

Assume that the statement is true for some k € N. Then we have that k34-5k

If k is even we have that 3k(k + 1) is divisible by 6.
Since the two cases above are the only possible cases we have that 3k(+ 1)

2 C
Consider the statement 1+3+45+7+...4+(2n-1) =n? for alln EN.
Since 1 = 2(1) — 1 = 1? we have that the statement is true for n = 1.
Assume the statement is true for some k € N. Then we have that 1 + 3+
54+74...4(2k-1I) =k.
Adding (2(k-+1)—1) to both sides of the equation 14-34-5+7+. ..+(2k-1) =
ke gives us that 14+34+5+47+...4+(2k-1)+(2(k+1)—1) = k?+(2(k+1)-1).
Thus, since &? + (2(k-+ 1) — 1) =k? + (2k4+2—1) =k? 42k +1 =(k+1)?
we have that 1+345+47+4...+(2k—1)+ (2(k +1) -1) =(k+1)? and
therefore the statement is true for n = k +1.
Hence, 1+34+5+7+...+(2n—1) =n? forallneN.

Let’s prove our conjecture!
Consider the statement n? < 2” for all n > 5.
Since 5? = 25 < 32 = 2° we have that the statement is true for n =5.
Assume the statement is true for some k € N with k > 5. Then we have

Since 5 < k we have that 4 < k —1 which gives us that

Thus, 2 < k? — 2k +1 and then 2k +1 < k? which gives us that

Then, we have that (k +1)? < 2k? < 2(2*) = 2*+! and therefore the

Prove this statement using Mathematical Induction.1 QS
Suppose m divides n? —n, Yn EN. Factorizing the expression we get
m|n?—n=>m| n(n - 1)
+m |n(n—1)(n+1), YneN (+)
Since this holds for all n N, lets see what property does m have for n = 2.
n=2, m[n(n—1)(n+1) = m|2-3-1=6
= m|6
Because m divides 6, m must be less than or equal to 6. Therefore, possible
choices for m are:
m=1, 2, 3,6
m = | satisfies (x) trivially, but we are looking for the Inrgest possible m. |
Note that n is either even or odd.
If nis even, then 2 divides 1, so it also divides n(n + 1)(n— 1).
If n is odd, then n +1 is even, so 2 divides n+ 1 and consequently,
n(n +1)(n—1). Therefore, m = 2 also satisties (+). |
There are three possible cases for n when dividing by 3. If n = 3k, for
some k EN, then 3| n => 3| n(n —1)(n+ 1).
If 1, for some k EN, then n-+1 = 3k = 3|n+1 > 3 | n(n+1)(n—1)
If n = 3k —2, for some k EN, then n — 1 = 3k —3 = 3(k—1) 33] n—1>
3| n(n +1)(n 1).
Therefore, m = 3 also satisfies (+).
We now have that
2|n(n+1)(n—1) WweN
3|n(n+1)(n—1) Yn eN
2-3 n(n+1)(n—-1) Yn eN
=([6]n@i+ Din—1) YneN
Therefore, m = 6 also satisfies (*). Since m < 6, [im =6) is the largest
possible m that satisfies (+).
RESULT
m=6
Clearly m < 6 because m must divide 6 (because 2° - 2 = 6). We prove
that m = 6 truly divides n® —n for all n € N by Mathematical Induction.Base of induction (n = 1):
