- (2 points) A ∩ B has only elements A has, and only elements B has ({0} unless B wrong)
- A ∩ B has all such elements
- A ∖ B has only elements A has, and no elements B has ({2,3} unless B wrong)
- A ∖ B has all such elements
- B ∪ C has both numbers and sets
- ⊕-set is correct ({1, 2, 3, 4, 9} unless B is wrong)
- ∀-set is B ∖ A ({1, 4, 9} unless B is wrong)
- ∃-set is B ∩ {4, 9}
Lab + Quiz 05 – sets, sequences, cartesian product, powersets, relations, images, inverses
lab 5 and key
quiz 5 and key
Grading rubric:
- {(4,1), (4,2), (1,1), (1,2)}
- {(4,1,3,3,3), (4,2,3,3,3)} – extra parens like ((4,1), (3,3,3)) OK
- {(∅,∅)}
- two of
aok
, oka
, and aaa
MTHMTCS
- {0, 1, 4} – half credit if has 1 twice
- is defined as natural for some natural numbers but not all
- is not invertible with the domain and co-domain of ℕ
- b = 3a or equivalent – half-credit for a = 3b
- has at least one element of domain related to 2+ elements in co-domain
Lab + Quiz 06 – induction, contradiction, infinity
lab 6 and key
quiz 6 and key
Grading rubric:
- Page 1 (50%)
- base case includes 0
- reasonable defense of base case being finite
- induce on symbol (e.g. n), not specific number
- next case is +1 (e.g., n+1)
- appeals to addition of finite being finite
- Page 2 (50%)
- definition of x is mathematical, larger, and natural
- defense of x being natural fits definition of x
- defense of x being natural fits definition of natural
- last blank mentions assuming led to contradiction
- nothing else wrong with proof
Lab + Quiz 07 – combinatorics
lab 7 and key
quiz 7 and key
Grading rubric:
- 52 choose 5 = 2598960 (half for 52! / (52-5)! or 525)
- 8! = 40320
- 8! / 2!3!2! = 1680
- 77766
- 7776! / 7770! (half for 7776 choose 6)
- 15
- 3/64
- 40/57
- 40/60 = 2/3
- 1/1000 (half for 1/500; allow (999/1000)500 in front at no penalty)
Lab + Quiz 08 – summation proofs
lab 8 and key
quiz 8 and key
There is no rubric because the quiz version printed and shown in class contained an error large enough that the quiz was dropped entirely.
Lab + Quiz 09 – summation proofs
lab 9 and key
quiz 9 and key
Grading rubric:
- has a base case
- base case includes -1
- base case shows both sides equal
- has inductive step
- inductive case assumes true at variable
- inductive case shows true at variable + 1
- induction argument uses algebra
- algebra correct
- has conclusion
- structure: introduces induction, labels parts, etc
Lab + Quiz 10 – logarithms
lab 10 and key
quiz 10 and key
Grading rubric:
- Q1 is 2 · 2 · 3 · 5 (or 2² · 3 · 5)
- Q2 is 3^y = x
- Q3 is log_c(b) ÷ log_c(a) – half credit if inverse of that
- Q4 is 2 lg(a) + lg(b)
- Q5 is 3/2
- pf: each step follows from one above
- pf: ends with only integers and powers on last line
- pf: fits the rest of proof (e.g. 3^b = 2^a)
Lab + Quiz 11 – graphs
lab 11 and key
quiz 11 and key
Grading rubric:
- makes assumption
- assumption is negation of theorem (some shortest walk is not a path)
- derives contradiction
- states contradiction means assumption false
- all logic-based claims are true
- all graph-based claims are true
- appeals to definition of path (no repeat vertex)
- appeals to shortness/length in some way
