Show by using "proof by contradiction" that the set of binary sequences {0,1}N is uncountable.

Answer:

You can prove this important result as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the set of all binary sequences, that is to say, \{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}. Suppose that A is a countable set. Then the elements of  A can be ordered as a sequence \{s_{1},s_{2}, s_{3},...\}, where each s_{i} is a binary sequence. The k\text{-th} digit of each sequence is expressed by s_{n}(k). Define the sequence s as follows:

s(k)=\begin{cases}1&\text{if}\,s_{k}(k)=0\\ 0 &\text{if}\,s_{k}(k)=1\end{cases}

Note that s differ from each s_{k} in at least one digit. Then s\neq s_n for all n\geq 1, then s\notin A. This contradicts the fact that A is the set of all binary sequences. Then A must be a uncountable set.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below.
Natali [406]
The answer to what the length of the leg would be is 15.

You would do this problem by first writing down your Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Since we have our hypotenuse which is c^2 in our equation, we would write or insert the number we have.

So our equation could be that a or b leg equals 20, it doesn’t matter which one.

So we could write, 20^2 + b^2 = 25^2. So we don’t know what b leg is.

First we should figure out what 20^2 is and what 25^2 is.

20^2 is 400 and 25^2 is 625.

Our equation now comes to 400 + b^2 = 625.

Now we take 400 and subtract it from
625 -> 400 + b^2 = 625
-400.

So 625 - 400 comes out to be 225.

Lastly instead of squaring or putting 225 to the second power, we do the opposite.

So instead of squaring 225 we must square root 225. √ 225 .

The square root of √ 225 comes out to be 15.
