I. (a) Show that. among the powers of 3 (1,3,9,27,81,243, . . .) there must be at leasttwo whose difference is divisible by 7. Hint: Group the numbers into 7 sets,
depending on what their remainder is when divided by 7.
Euzerwsmallest value of k that
371.31? a difference divisible
choice.
The next four questions will involve an investigation of all possible relations on the set
{1,2}.
2. There are four possible elmnmits in snvh a relation, namer a. A- l R Lb : 1 [32.6
2 R1. and d : ‘2 R2. so any relation on that. set will be completely characterized by
the 16 possible. truth values for the propositions a. b,r-,(l.
(a) Let 1‘ denote whether a relation is reflexive. Show that r is equivalent to a A d.
Find a logical expreSSion in a’ b. C. d
expreSSion in a, b. C‘ d
3. Usin
g the 16 truth values for (a,b,c,d), fill in the 16
POSSlbllities of each ‘bl . row truth table below for all the
Poss. c relation. Note. Don’t mak
the table When you‘r- l . – a me read a mess; only fill in
0. sure you have it right.
