... Example: The function f : R → R defined by f (x) = x3 is one-to-one. But the function g : R → R defined by g(x) = x2 is not one-to-one. In these terms. we can view a list of k elements from a set B (called a k-element permuation), is a one-to-one function from the set K = {1, . . . , k} to B. Suppo ...

... both bn and bn − 1 are divisible by 3 by the strong induction hypothesis. Since the sum of two numbers that are divisible by 3 is itself divisible by 3, we have that bn+1 is divisible by 3 and so by strong induction our claim is proved. 3) Prove that for all natural numbers n ≥ 8, there exist non-ne ...
