this needs to be proven using a direct proof, proof by contraposition, or a proof by contradiction. YOU MUST SHOW ALL STEPS LABEL THEM AND SPACE THEM WELL PLEASE. ALSO INCLUDE ALL DEFINITIONS USED . FORMAL PROOFS ONLY PLEASE 5. 20 pts Prove that if n is an odd positive integer, then n 1 (mod 8)
16. Outline the basic structure of each proof technique direct proof, proof by contradiction, and induction.
25. (2 points) Below is a proof presented as a proof by contradiction. Restate the proof, using the same ideas, as a proof of the contrapositive of the proposition. Proposition: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational. Proof: Suppose BWOC that there existr e Q and neR-Q such that run e Q. Sincer is rational, r = for some p, q E Z. Sincer+ne Q, also r+n= for some a, b e Z. Now: r...
You're the grader. To each "Proof", assign one of the following grades: A (correct), if the claim and proof are correct, even if the proof is not the simplest, or the proof you would have given. C (partially correct), if the claim is correct and the proof is largely a correct claim, but contains one or two incorrect statements or justifications. . F (failure), if the claim is incorrect, the main idea of the proof is incorrect, or most of...
use 18 rules of inference to solve the following problem. Do not use conditional proof, indirect proof, or assumed premises.for each proof you must write the premises in that proof. 1. X v Y prove /S v Y 2. z 3.( x•z)---> s
Read carefully the following theorem and its proof and determine if the proof is valid or not. Select 'True' if you think the proof is valid (i.e. without flaws) or select 'False if you think the proof is not valid (i.e. has some flaws). Theorem: Let A and B be two distinct points, let E be a point on AB, and let / be the line that is perpendicular to at E. Prove that if a point P lies on...
Write an example of a proof by contradiction . ( any proof dealing with real/math analysis)
Use an ordinary proof (not conditional or indirect proof): 1. A ⊃ (Q ∨ R) 2. (R • Q) ⊃ B 3. A • ∼B / R ≡ ∼Q
Course: Theory of computation please answer the following questions using proof by construction, proof by contradiction and proof by induction 1) Show that the set of all integers is a countable set. 2) Show that mod 7 is an equivalence relation.
