1st Long Exam

True or False:
1.) Composite numbers have prime factors.
2.) Let A U , then n(A 0 ) n(U) n(A).
3.) If A {w,s,0} and B {y,z,0} , then A B 0.
4.) The set of irrational numbers is closed under addition.
5.) The numbers 15 and 81 are relatively prime.

6.) It can never

be true that a b a n b n .

7.) The cardinality

of A {0,{0},{{0}}} is 1.

8.) Every real number has a multiplicative

inverse.
9.) 2 8 6.
10.)
The unionof the set of natural numbers and their additive inverses is the set of integers.
11.)
Any
real number has a square root.
12.)
If A has exactly two subsets and B has exactly one subset, then A B has at least one

element.
13.)
For all real numbers
, (a b)1/ 2 a1/ 2 b1/ 2 .
14.)
The set of counting numbers relatively prime to 2 is closed under multiplication.

Problems:

1.) Find all the subsets of G={a,b,c} which contain a but do not contain c.

For numbers 2 to 3:
Jules has 15 classmates. 7 are tall, 10 are chinitas, 3 dont have the qualities of being tall nor
pretty. 10 have at least 2 of the 3 qualities. 7 are ugly. Two are tall but neither a chinita nor
pretty.
2.) Draw the Venn diagram to summarize these data.
3.) How many are pretty, tall, and chinita?
For numbers 4 to 12:
If

A {1,2,3,4,5,} , B {2,3,4} , and C {2,4,5} , which of the following are true:

4.) A B
5.) A C
6.) B A
7.) B C
8.) C A

16.)
Several students were asked what subject they enjoyed most. Out of the 50 respondents,
29 said they like Math
while 22 prefer English. There are 13 students who like both Math and
Philo. 14 of those asked said they do not like either English or Philo. 4 respondents dont like any

of these subjects, while 27 do not like Philo. If there are 8 who like all of these subjects, then
how many enjoy only Philo? Draw a Venn diagram to present this data.

14.)
Recall: i=i, i2=-1, i3=-I, i4=1. Every four values of I, the sum is 0. So we can divide the
exponent of I, which is 101, by 4 and the remainder would be used to identify the value.
Therefore, the answer is i.
