Let f : [n] ? [n] be a function and let Tf be a labeled tree on n vertices, constructed from f using the procedure demonstrated in class. Suppose that f takes exactly k different values. Show that Tf has at most n?k vertices with degree at least four.

Hint: First, determine the maximum number of leaves in Tf .

Euler's Totient Function Let f(n) denote Euler's totient function; thus, for a positive integer n, f(n) is the number of integers less than n which are coprime to n. For a prime p its is known that f(p^k) = p^k-p^{k-1}. For example f(27) = f(3^3) = 3^3 - 3^2 = (3^2) 2=18. In addition, it is known that f(n) is multiplicative in the sense that f(ab) = f(a)f(b) whenever a and b are coprime. Lastly, one has the celebrated generalization...

Let f(x) be a polynomial and let r be a root of f(x). If x_1 is sufficiently close to r then x_2 = i(x_1) is closer, x_3 = i(x_2) is closer still, etc. Here i(x) = x - f(x)/f'(x) is what we called the improvement function a. Let f(x)=x^2-10. Compute i(x) in simplified form (i.e. everything in one big fraction involving x). Let r = sqrt(10) and x_1=3. Show a hand computation of x_2 and then x_3, expressing both your...
