1.
(a) A statement that is true by necessary or by virtue of logical term.
(b) f = (1, 2 ) , ( 2, 2 ) , (3,1) ; f : A → A ; A = 1, 2,3 .
(c) a p

iff for every given  0 ,  positive integer n0 such that
un − l  n  n0 .

3. u n = n 2 + 1 −n

1
Let vn =
n

un 1
then lim

vn 2

  un and  vn have same nature.

  un is divergent.

5. m = 11.29.19 = 6061

x1 = 3, x2 = 5, x3 = 10

m1 = 11, m2 = 19, m3 = 29

m
M1 = = 551
m1

m
M2 = = 319
m2

m
M3 = = 209
m3

Reduced system is
551x  1( mod11)

319 x  1( mod19 ) , 209 x  1( mod 29 )

 x1 = 3, x2 = 5, x3 = 10

 x = a1M 1 x1 + a2 M 2 x2 + a3 M 3 x3 ( mod 6061)

= 3.551.1 + 5.319.14 + 10.209.5

= 4128 ( mod 6061)

 x = 4128 ( mod 6061) .

6. f1 = (1,1) , ( 2, 2 ) , ( 3,3)

f 2 = (1,1) , ( 2,3) , ( 3, 2 )

f3 = (1,3) , ( 2, 2 ) , ( 3,1)

f 4 = (1, 2 ) , ( 2,1) , ( 3,3)

f5 = (1, 2 ) , ( 2,3) , ( 3,1)

f 6 = (1,3) , ( 2,1) , ( 3, 2 )

7. sup = 2 , inf = 1 .
8. Consider S = x : x  Q, x  0, x 2
 2

then it is easy to see that 3 is an upper bound of S .

S is bounded above.

Next to show that 3  S .

Next to show that sup S = 2  S .

This shows the result.

9. x = 1 ,
1 x2 = 2 + x1 = 3 , x3 = 2 + x2 = 2 + 3..............

 x1  x2  x3  .......................

 xn is monotonically increasing function.

x1 = 1  2

Let xn  2

then xn +1 = 2 + xn = 2 + 2 = 4 = 2  2

 xn  2 n 

2 is an upper bound of  xn  .

  xn  converges to its supremum.

Let lim xn = l
n →

Then l = 2+l

 l2 − l − 2 = 0

l = 2 or l = −1

l  −1

l = 2 .
