Problems 2.21, 2.22, 2.23

RoseWind [281]

Statements can be proved by contrapositive, contradiction or by induction.

2.21 and 2.23 are proved by contrapositive
2.22 is proved by induction

2.21: If $n^3$ is even, then n is even (By contrapositive)

The contrapositive of the above statement is that:

If n is odd, then $n^3$ is odd

Represent the value of n as:

$n = 2k + 1$ , where $k \ge 0$

Take the cube of both sides

$n^3 = (2k + 1)^3$

Expand

$n^3 = 8k^3 + 6k^2 + 6k + 1$

Group

$n^3 =[ 8k^3 + 6k^2 + 6k] + 1$

Factor out 2

$n^3 =2[4k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k] + 1$

Assume w is an integer; where:

$w =4k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k$

So, we have:

$n^3 =2w + 1$

The constant term (i.e. 1) means that $n^3$ is odd.

Hence, the statement has been proved by contrapositive.

i.e. If n is odd, then $n^3$ is odd

2.22 $3n + 4$ is even, if and only if n is even

We have: $3n + 4$

Assume that: $n = 2k + 2$ for $k \ge 0$

So, we have:

$3n + 4 = 3(2k + 2) + 4$

Open bracket

$3n + 4 = 6k + 6 + 4$

$3n + 4 = 6k + 10$

Factorize

$3n + 4 = 2(3k + 5)$

The factor of 2 means that $3n + 4$ is even.

Hence, $3n + 4$ is even, if and only if n is even

2.22: $s \ne -1$ and $t \ne -1$ , then $s + t + st \ne -1$

To do this, we prove by contrapositive.

The contrapositive of the above statement is:

If $s = -1$ and $t=-1$ , then $s + t + st = -1$

We have:

$s + t + st = -1$

Substitute the values of s and t in: $s + t + st = -1$

$-1 -1 -1 \times -1 = -1$

$-1 -1 + 1 = -1$

$-1 = -1$

Hence, by contrapositive:

If $s = -1$ and $t=-1$ , then $s + t + st = -1$

Given that f(x) = 5x - 10 and g(x) = x + 3, find f(g(-1)).

musickatia [10]

$\bf \begin{cases} f(x) = 5x-10\\ g(x) = x + 3 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ g(-1)=(-1)+3\implies \boxed{g(-1) = 2} \\\\\\ f(~~g(-1)~~)\implies f\left( \boxed{2} \right) = 5(2)-10\implies \stackrel{f(~g(-1)~)}{f(2)}=0$
