(10%) True —False (Penality: 2 wrong answers cancel _1 right answer) (a2) f° AUBUQ= f(A S BY fo (b) fT ANB = f(A SB () fANB)= f(A)O fB) (d) f(f~(B)=Balm(f) (for every subset B of codomain(f) ) R is transitive <=> R° is transitive (f) R, &R, are transitive — R,UR, is transitive go f isbijective ==> f is1-land g is onto f&garebothi-l => (fg): Xx¥Y>AxB is 1-1 (where (f, 8) (%y) = (f00), g(y)) ) and f:X + A & g:Y > B are functions) G) fofof hasaninverse ==> f hasaninverse. (f:X — X is a function) f[:X—>X is onto => f is bijective => _f has an inverse Teal et 2. (6 %) Disprove any 2 (false) parts of problem 1. (Specify ALL DETAILS: What is f A, B, ..etc ?) 3. (6 %) Prove any 2 (true) parts of problem 1. 4. (6%) Simplify (BU(ANC))A(DUC)AA — (int: You may use Boolean Algebra) 5.

Prove that fis a Well-defined Bijective function 8. (8 %) In how many ways can we distribute 50 identical scholarships over 4 universities {U,, a) If U, gets at_most 5 scholarships. (Hint: Take the complement, i.e, at least 6 ...) H ip (b) If each university gets at most (max) 20 scholarships. (Hint: Take the complement & use Inclusion- Exchusion. ) (BOX YOUR FINAL ANSWERS) 9. (6%) How many words can be formed by permuting SUCCESSLUNUS (a) with no (further) restrictions (You have 12 letters: 48, 3U, 2C, 1E, 1L, 1N) (b) such your word should NOT end with NUS. 10. (8%) True—False (Penality: 2 wrong answers will cancel 1 right answer) Reminder: A poset is called _directed if each 2 elements have an upper bound and a lower bound. (a) Every chain is a directed poset (b) Every directed poset is a chain (c) Every minimal element of a directed poset is a minimum element. (d) The poset ([50, 00), <) is well-ordered . (e) The set of irrational numbers R - Q can be well-ordered. (f) The filing product of normal posets is a normal poset. (f) The cartesian product of chains is a chain. (g) If a finite poset has a unique minimal element M, then M is a minimum . 11. (4%) Disprove (by a counter example) Any 2 (false) parts of problem 10 above. 6 8 on), 14 | 4,12 +0(nk), 12.
