Which one of the following is true, when k is an arbitrarily chosen natural number and m is an integers? A. an is not a multiple of 2 for some n N because a1 = 0. B. an is a multiple of 2 for all n N because a1 = 0 and if ak = 2m, then ak+1 = 2(m+1) Page 37 ETHIO NATIONAL SCHOOL - MATH FOR GRADE 11 AND 12 C. an is a multiple of 2 for all n N because a1 = 0 and if ak = 2m, then ak+1 = 2(m+k) D. an is a multiple of 3 for all n N because a1 = 0 and if ak = 3m, then ak+1 = 3(m+k) Maths EUEE 2005 E.C Grade 12 Unit Seven 1. Which one of the following describes the principle of Mathematical induction on a set of natural numbers? A. If an assertion is true for a natural number n, then it is true for n+1 B. If an assertion is true for 1 and it is true for n +1, then it is true for some n. C. If an assertion holds for n = 20 and for any n> 20, then it is true for n implies true for n + 1 D. If an assertion is true for n = 1, and is true for n = k, whenever is true for n = k + 1. Maths EUEE 2006 E.C Grade 12 Unit Seven 1. The following is an assertion of a person and his proof. “For any natural numbers n, n! < 10n. Proof: Step 1. Let N = 1. Since 1! = 1 and 101 = 10, it is true that 1! < 101. Step 2. Let N = 2. Since 2! = 2 and 102 = 100, it is true that 2! < 102. Step 3. Let N = 3. Since 3! = 6 and 103 = 1000, it is true that 2! < 103. Step 4. Continuing in this manner, we can see that whenever K! < 10k is true, then (K + 1)! < 10k+1 is also true. Therefore, by induction, n! < 10n for all natural numbers.” Which one of the following is true about the proof? A. The proof is correct by the principle of mathematical induction, though step 2 and step 3 can be omitted. B. The proof is correct by the principle of mathematical induction, and step 2 and step 3 are necessary since they provide additional information. C. The proof is invalid because step 4 did not justify the desired induction step. D. The proof follows the technique of a proof by exhaustion. Maths EUEE 2007 E.C Grade 12 Unit Seven 1. If each of the compound propositions P Q, P R and R is True, then which one of the following is True? A. P B. Q C. Q P D. P R 2. Consider the formula for a natural number n N: 2 + 4 + 8 - … + 2n = 2n+1 + 1 To proof this formula a person has used the following argument. “Assume the formula is true for n = k, for some k N. Then the person has shown that the formula is also true for n = k + 1. And then, the person has concluded that, by Page 38 ETHIO NATIONAL SCHOOL - MATH FOR GRADE 11 AND 12 the principle of mathematical induction, the formula is true for all natural numbers n N.” Which one of the following statements is true about the above arguments? A. The formula holds true though it does not work for n = 1. B. Since the left – hand – side is an even number and the right – hand – side an odd number, the principle of Mathematical induction if False. C. This is one example where the principle of Mathematical induction fails to work. D. The above formula does not work for all natural numbers n N Maths EUEE 2007 E.C Grade 12 Unit Seven 1. What is the contra positive of “If x N, then x is integer and x 0 ”? A. If x is not integer or x 0 , then x N. B. If x is integer and x 0 , then x N C. If x is not integer or x 0 , then x N D. If x N, then x is not integer and x 0 2. Consider the following assertion of a person and his proof. “If x and y are equal positive integers, then x y y.” Proof: the following steps and reasons are used to proof the assertion. Step Reason 1. x y Given hypothesis 2. x 2 xy Multiply both sides of (1) by x 3. x y xy y 2 2 2 Subtract y2 from both sides of (2) 4. x y x y x y y Factor both sides of (3) 5. x y y Divide both sides of (4) by x-y Step 5 completes the proof A. It is a correct direct proof of the assertion. B. It follows the technique of a proof by contradiction because the steps lead to a contradiction. C. The proof is invalid because Step 4 does not lead to Step 5. D. The proof is invalid because Step 4 does not follow from step 3. 3. Which one of the following is a valid assertion that can be proved y the principle of mathematical induction? A. 2 n 10n for every integer n such that n 6. B. r 0 for every real number r such that r 1 2 C. n 10n 2n for every natural number n 1 2 2 D. 2 n 8n For every integer n such that n 3 4. The valid conclusion from the premises: P V Q, Q R, P M , M is. A. P R R B. P P R C. Q P R D. R P Q Page 39 ETHIO NATIONAL SCHOOL - MATH FOR GRADE 11 AND 12 Page 40
