Homework 7 -- Induction and Recursion
- List five elements in each of the following sets.
- 1. 2 is in the set.
2. If x is in the set, then so is 5x-1.
3. Nothing else is in the set.
- 1. a and b are strings in the set.
2. If string x is in the set, then so are
strings ax and bxc.
3. Nothing else is in the set.
- 1. 2 and 9 are in the set.
2. If x and y are in the set, then so is x+y. NOTE: You can
plug the same
element into both x and y, so, for example, you can get 2+2.
3. Nothing else is in the set.
- Given the following recursive function, what is f(1)? f(2)?
f(3)? f(4)? f(5)?
f(1) = 1
f(n) = f(n-1) * 10
- Given the following recursive function, what is f(1)? f(2)?
f(3)? f(4)? f(5)?
f(1) = 1
f(2) = 3
f(n) = f(n-2) + f(n-1)
- Do problems 7 and 11 on page 123 of your textbook.
- Extra credit: +10. Do problem 10 on page 123.
