MATH 346/Spring 2005 FINAL EXAM NAME: oy “VS Instructions: kK i | a. There are sixteen problems on this test. All of them are re- quired. b. All questions are equally weighted. The Final Exam grade ac- counts for 25% of the total grade of the course, b. Justify your answers for all the problems below in order to get full credit. c. Ifa wrong answer is given without any justification or explana- tion then no credit will be given for that question. (1) Suppose the variable x represents people, and F(x) : x is friendly, T(x): a is tall, A(z) : zis angry. Write the following statements using the above predicates and any needed quantifiers. (a) some tall angry people are friendly eI (b) if a person is friendly, then that person is not angry Wx ( F(X) > 1 Acx)) (2) Let the sequence {a,,} be defined recursively as a, = a3_, +2; ag = 0.
