    Prove theta Relation : Reflexive, Symmetric and Transitive

    Prove that theta is a reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relation; that is for all f, g, h: N to N, a. f belongs to theta f; b. f belongs to theta g then g belongs to theta f; c. f belongs to theta g and g belongs to theta h then f belongs to theta h;

    Probability : Mean, Standard Deviation and Recurrence Relation

    In order to test a vaccine, we have to find patients with a certain blood type, that is found in 20% of the population. Model W, the number of people sampled until we have found one with thhis blood type; X, the number sampled to find four with the blood type; and Y, the number with this blood type among 20 people. Find the mean

    Domain and Range of a Relation

    1. Find the domain and range of the relation {(x,y)&#9474;5x < -5} 2. Find the domain of the relation A={(x,y)&#9474;x^2+y^2=4}

    Joint Mass Function, Forming a Triangle and Recurrence Relation

    Suppose the joint mass function of X and Y, the numbers of goals scored by home and away teams in a soccer league is as shown in the below table... Another way in which a stick might be broken "at random" is to independently Select random points in each of the two halves. What would be the chance of the three pieces forming

    Curls : Green's Theorem

    When I write A_n it means A "sub" n. a) Define A_n= integral from 2pi to 0 of (Cos(theta))^(2n).d(theta) Proove the recurrence formula(*): A_n=(2n-1)/(2n)*A_(n-1) by writing Green's thorem for vector field F=x^(2n-1)j in the unit disc x^2+y^2<1 and evaluating each of the integrals sepa

    Solving a Recurrence Relation

    Solve the following recurrence relation: a(n) = a(n-1) + 3(n-1), a(0) = 1 I know this should not be a difficult problem, but my main problem is in solving the problem when the coefficient of the a(n-1) term is 1. Also, when a summation is in the solution, I do not understand how to convert from a summation to a C(n,k)

    Solving recurrence relations.

    Find and solve a recurrence relation for the number of ways to make a pile of n chips using red, white, and blue chips and such that no two red chips are together.

    Equivalence Class Relations

    Let P, P' be equivalence relations on a set A. Let n, n' be the number of equivalence classes of p, p', respectively. A) define an equivalence relation p'' as follows: xp''y <=> (xpy) and (xp'y) what is the least number of equivalence classes of p''? What is the greatest number of equivalence classes of p''? B)defin

    Prove that Fn can be expressed by: Fn=[(a^n-b^n)/(a-b)] for n=1,2,3... ~: Set Gn=[(a^n-b^n)/(a-b)] and show that Gn satisfies the recurrence formula {G(n+1) = Gn + G(n-1) for n=2,3,4...} and don't forget that a and b satisfy the equation x^2-x-1=0. a and b are the roots of x^2-x-1=0, which are (1+sqrt5)/2 and (1-sqrt5)/2

    Discrete Structures

    1. Consider the sequence of triangles Ti, i >= 2: T2 is simply a triangle sitting upright, on its base. T3 is T2, except that an additional straight line is drawn from the upper vertex, down to somewhere on the base. For each Ti+1, one more line is added to triangle Ti (such that each line meets the base at a different point).
