4. Let n be a positive integer. Z" is the set of all lists of length n whose entries are in Z. Prove that Z" is...
For any positive integer n, prove that .Hint for one way of proving this: If X is set of cardinality n, find a bijection between the set of o i is even i is odd elements of P(X) of even cardinality and the set of elements of P(X) of odd cardinality.
(2) For an integer n, let Z/nZ denote the set of equivalence classes [k) tez: k -é is divisible by n (a) Prove that the set Z/nZ has n elements. (b) Find a minimal set of representatives for these n elements. (c) Prove that the operation gives a well-defined addition on Z/nZ Hint: The operution should not depend on the choice of coset representatives Verify that this gives Z/n2 the structure of an ahelian group. Be sure to verify all...
Problem 1. Let A be an infinite set such that |Al S INI. Prove A IN (Hint: First prove this for all infinite subsets B CN. Prove the general case by observing there is a bijection between A and some infinite subset of N.)

Do both please will thumb up
Prove that n2 +1 > 2 for any positive integer n < 4. Use induction to prove: > 1.22 = (n-1)20+1 + 2,Vn e Z,n 1
4) Let D be the set of all finite subsets of positive integers. Define a function (:2 - D as follows: For each positive integer n, f(n) =the set of positive divisors of n. Find the following f (1), f(17) and f(18). Is f one-to-one? Prove or give a counterexample.
Tems.] Use the second principle of induction to prove that every positive integer n has a factorization of the form 2m, where m is odd. (Hint: For n > 1, n is either odd or is divisible by 2.)
