1.     Suppose that f is defined recursively by:

     f (0) 5= and f n( + =1) 2fn+5. Find f(1), f(2), f(3) and f(4)? 


In the following argument, determine the validity or otherwise of the

Statement:

a) “If you aren’t polite, you won’t be treated with respect. You aren’t

treated with respect. Therefore, you aren’t polite.

b) “If you play football during a thunderstorm, you’ll get hit by lightning.

You didn’t get hit by lightning. Therefore, you didn’t play football in a

thunderstorm”

Therefore, taxes are lowered.”

(i) Write out the propositional statements in the above argument?

(ii) State the premise(s) and conclusion in the argument?

(iii) Using a truth table, determine the validity of the argument?

Let f be a function from the set A to the set B. Let S and T be two disjoint subsets of A (i.e S∩T=∅); then which of the following cannot be true: 

a) if f is invertible, then f(S)∩f(T)=∅   

b) if f(S)∩f(T)≠∅, then f is a one-to-one function

c) if f(S)∪f(T)⊆B, then f is an onto function

d) none of the above
