Let n=60, not a
product of distinct prime numbers. Let B_n= the set of all positive
divisors of n. Define addition and multiplication to be lcm and gcd
as well. Now show that B_n cannot consist of a Boolean algebra
under those two operators.
Hint: Find the 0 and 1
elements first. Now find an element of B_n whose complement cannot
be found to satisfy both equalities, no matter how we define the
complement operator.

Let X = [0, 1) and Y = (0, 2).
a. Define a 1-1 function from X to Y that is NOT onto Y . Prove
that it is not onto Y .
b. Define a 1-1 function from Y to X that is NOT onto X. Prove
that it is not onto X.
c. How can we use this to prove that [0, 1) ∼ (0, 2)?

4. Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and define a relation R on A as
follows: R = {(a, a) | a ∈ A} ∪ {(0, 1),(0, 2),(1, 3),(2, 3),(2,
4),(2, 5),(3, 4),(4, 5),(4, 6)} Is R a partial ordering on A? Prove
or disprove.

Let X Geom(p). For positive integers n, k define
P(X = n + k | X > n) = P(X = n + k) / P(X > n) :
Show that P(X = n + k | X > n) = P(X = k) and then briefly
argue, in words, why this is true for geometric random
variables.

2. (a) Let a,b ≥0. Define the function f by f(x)=(a+b+x)/3-∛abx
Determine if f has a global minimum on [0,∞), and if it does, find
the point at which the global minimum occurs.
(b) Show that for every a,b,c≥0 we have (a+b+c)/3≥∛abc with
equality holding if and only if a=b=c. (Hint: Use Part (a).)
