Solve problem 2 using the priblem 1 . Question is taken from Ring theory dealing with ideals and generating sets for ideals. Problem 1. Suppose that R (R,+ Jis a commutative ring with unity, and suppose F- (a,,. , a } is a finite nonempty subset of R. Modify your proof for Problem 5 above to show that 7n j-1 Problem 2. Consider the set Zo of integer sequences introduced in Homework Problem 6 of Investigation 16. You showed that...
·J (I) < 0 for all such y. (Hint: let g(x)--f(x) and use part (a)) 3. In this problem, we prove the Intermedinte Value Theorem. Let Intermediate Value Theorem. Let f : [a → R be continuous, and suppose f(a) < 0 and f(b) >0. Define S = {t E [a, b] : f(z) < 0 for allェE [a,t)) (a) Prove that s is nonempty and bounded above. Deduce that c= sup S exists, and that astst (b) Use Problem...

Prove or disprove. (c) Describe the set f[El. Problem 6. Letf: R R be the function defined by fx) = x2 + 2x + 1. (a) Prove that f is not injective. Find all pairs of real numbers T1,...
Problem 5. (20 pts) Let r,n N be two natural numbers with r < n. An r x n matrix M consisting of r rows and n columns is said to be a Latin rectangle of size (r, n), if all the entries My belong to the set {1,2,3,..., n), for 1Si<T, 1Sj<T, and the same number does not appear twice in any row or in any column. By defini- tion, a Latin square is a Latin rectangle of size...
