So there are a total of 13 × 48 = 624 possible hands with four of a kind. 11 Let us show that there exist irrational numbers a and b such that a b is rational. CHAPTER 2 Methods of Mathematical Proof 39 √ √ Solution: Let α = 2 and β = 2. If α β is rational then we are done, using a = α and b = β. If α β is irrational, then observe that αβ √ 2 Thus, with a = α β and b = that a b = 2 is rational. 12 Show that if there are six people in a room then either three of them know each other or three of them do not know each other.
By the result of the first paragraph, we can handle that case. Now, inductively, suppose that we have an algorithm for handling n pearls. We use this hypothesis to treat (n + 1) pearls. From the (n + 1) pearls, remove one and put it in your pocket. There remain n pearls. Apply the npearl algorithm to these remaining pearls. If you find the odd pearl then you are done. If you do not find the odd pearl, then it is the one in your pocket. That completes the case (n + 1) and the proof. What is the flaw in this reasoning?
11 Let S = {1, 2, 3}. Then P(S) = {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 3}, ∅ If the concept of power set is new to you, then you might have been surprised to see {1, 2, 3} and ∅ as elements of the power set. But they are both subsets of S, and they must be listed. 3 Let S = {s1 , . . , sk } be a set. Then P(S) has 2k elements. Proof: We prove the assertion by induction on k. The inductive statement is A set with k elements has power set with 2k elements P(1) is true. In this case, S = {s1 } and P(S) = {{s1 }, ∅}.
