Problem 1

a) For \(A=\\{1,2,3,4, \ldots, 7\\}\), how many bijective functions \(f: A \rightarrow A\) satisfy \(f(1) \neq 1 ?\) b) Answer part (a) where \(A=\left\\{x \mid x \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}, 1 \leq x \leq n\right\\}\), for some fixed \(n \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}\)

Problem 2

Show that if eight people are in a room, at least two of them have birthdays that occur on the same day of the week.

Problem 2

If \(A=\\{1,2,3\\}\), and \(B=\\{2,4,5\\}\), give examples of (a) three nonempty relations from \(A\) to \(B\); (b) three nonempty relations on \(A\).

Problem 4

If there are 2187 functions \(f: A \rightarrow B\) and \(|B|=3\), what is \(|A| ?\)

Problem 4

. Let \(S=\\{3,7,11,15,19, \ldots, 95,99,103\\}\). How many elements must we select from \(S\) to insure that there will be at least two whose sum is \(110 ?\)

Problem 5

a) Prove that if 151 integers are selected from \(\\{1,2,3\), \(\ldots, 300\\}\), then the selection must include two integers \(x, y\) where \(x \mid y\) or \(y \mid x\). b) Write a statement that generalizes the results of part (a) and Example 5.43.

Problem 6

The men's final at Wimbledon is won by the first player to win three sets of the five-set match. Let \(\mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{M}\) denote the players. Draw a tree diagram to show all the ways in which the match can be decided.

Problem 7

a) Show that if any 14 integers are selected from the set \(S=\\{1,2,3, \ldots, 25\\}\), there are at least two whose sum is 26 . b) Write a statement that generalizes the results of part (a) and Example \(5.44 .\)

Problem 8

Logic chips are taken from a container, tested individually, and labeled defective or good. The testing process is continued until either two defective chips are found or five chips are tested in total. Using a tree diagram, exhibit a sample space for this process.

Problem 8

. Let \(A=\\{2,4,8,16,32\\}\), and consider the closed binary operation \(f: A \times A \rightarrow A\) where \(f(a, b)=\operatorname{gcd}(a, b)\). Does \(f\) have an identity element?
