2.1.15 Let R be the proposition “The summit of Mount Everest is underwater”. Suppose that S is a proposition such that(R∨S) ⇐⇒ (R∧S) is false.

(a) What can you say about S?

(b) What if, instead, (R ∨ S) ⇐⇒ (R ∧ S) is true? Hopefully it is obvious to you that R is false. . .

Let f : [a,b] → R be a bounded function and let:             M = sup f(x)             m = inf f(x)             M* =sup |f(x)|             m* =inf |f(x)| assuming you are taking values of x that lie in [a,b]. Is it true that M* - m* ≤ M - m ? If it is true, prove it. If it is false, find a counter example.

Fix a positive real number c, and let S = (−c, c) ⊆ R. Consider the formula x ∗ y :=(x + y)/(1 + xy/c^2). (a)Show that this formula gives a well-defined binary operation on S (I think it is equivalent to say that show the domain of x*y is in (-c,c), but i dont know how to prove that) (b)this operation makes (S, ∗) into an abelian group. (I have already solved this, you can just ignore) (c)Explain why...

Let (G,·) be a finite group, and let S be a set with the same cardinality as G. Then there is a bijection μ:S→G . We can give a group structure to S by defining a binary operation *on S, as follows. For x,y∈ S, define x*y=z where z∈S such that μ(z) = g_{1}·g_{2}, where μ(x)=g_{1} and μ(y)=g_{2}. First prove that (S,*) is a group. Then, what can you say about the bijection μ?
