(Discrete Structure) Question No. 1 Let P(n) be the statement that 12 +2² + . . .+ n² = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6 for the positive integer n. a) What is the statement P(1)? b) Show that P(1) is true, completing the basis step of the proof. c) What is the inductive hypothesis? d) What do you need to prove in the inductive step? e) Complete the inductive step, identifying where you use the inductive hypothesis. Question No. 2 Let L(x, y) be the statement "x loves y." where the do- main for both x and y consists of all people in the world. Use quantifiers to express each of these statements. a) Everybody loves Jerry. b) Everybody loves somebody. c) There is somebody whom everybody loves. d) Nobody loves everybody. e) There is somebody whom Lydia does not love. f) There is somebody whom no one loves. g) There is exactly one person whom everybody loves. h) There are exactly two people whom Lynn loves. i) Everyone loves himself or herself. j) There is someone who loves no one besides himself or herself.
