3. Give a combinatorial proof of the following identity. ("t?) = () + (-1) where n and k are positive integers with n > k. 5. Give a combinatorial proof of the following identity (known as the Hockey Stick Identity). (%) + (**") + (**?) + ... + ( )= (#1) where n and k are positive integers with n > k.
10. (a) By giving a combinatorial argument show that [mk=n-21-1 (Hint: Think of ways of choosing a committee and its chairperson.) (b) Find a closed form formula for į ()k. (That is, a formula that does not involve summation with varying number of terms. For instance, Part (a) gives a closed form formula for

E3. Show that Σ(-1)k( ) = 0 for all positive integers n and k with 0-k-n E4. Show that (t) = Σ ( . 71 に0 k+1 k"d) for all positive integers n and k with 0 ksn
In the following problem, we will work through a proof of an important theorem of arithmetic. Your job will be to read the proof carefully and answer some questions about the argument. Theorem (The Division Algorithm). For any integer n ≥ 0, and for any positive integer m, there exist integers d and r such that n = dm + r and 0 ≤ r < m. Proof: (By strong induction on the variable n.) Let m be an arbitrary...
Therom 1.8.2 n choose k = (n choose n-k) n choose k = (n-1 choose K) + (n-1 choose K-1) 2n = summation of (n choose i ) please use the induction method (a) (10 pts) Show that the following equality holds: n +1 + 2 Hint: If you proceed by induction, you might want to use Theorem 1.8.2. If you search for a combinatorial proof, consider the set X - (i,j, k): 0 S i,j< k< n) (b) (10...
Combinatorial proof for 4^n = 2^n * 2^n (show both sides count the same thing)
1. Formalize the following argument by using the given predicates and then rewriting the argument as a numbered sequence of statements. Identify each statement as either a premise, or a conclusion that follows according to a rule of inference from previous statements. In that case, state the rule of inference and refer by number to the previous statements that the rule of inference used.Lions hunt antelopes. Ramses is a lion. Ramses does not hunt Sylvester. Therefore, Sylvester is not an...
Ulscrete Mathematics a. Prove that k (*)=n (1 - 1) for integers n and k with 15ks n, using a i. combinatorial proof: (3 marks) ii. algebraic proof. (3 marks)
The bound should start from i=0 (not 1) Use combinatorial arguments (not induction) to prove =1 (?) (2+i) = 24 (7)
