Math Problem Statement

A set of mathematical problems related to true/false combinations, graph theory, Laplace transformations, and subset proofs.

Solution

I see you've uploaded an image containing some mathematical problems. Let me assist with the solutions to these questions.


Question VI: True-False Combinations

There are 1010 true-false questions. Each question has 2 options (true or false). The total number of combinations is: 210=10242^{10} = 1024 Answer: d) 1024 ways


Question VII: Statements on Simple Graphs

  • A path is a sequence of edges connecting distinct vertices with no repetition.
  • A trail is a sequence of edges where vertices can repeat, but edges do not.

Correct statement: c) Every trail is a path as well as every path is a trail.


Question VIII: Edges in a Complete Graph

The formula for the number of edges in a complete graph with nn vertices is: Edges=n(n1)2\text{Edges} = \frac{n(n-1)}{2} Answer: b) n(n1)2\frac{n(n-1)}{2}


Question IX: Inverse Laplace Transform

The inverse Laplace transform of ss2+a2\frac{s}{s^2 + a^2} is: sin(at)\sin(at) Answer: a) Sinat


Question X: Conditions for Laplace Transform

A Laplace transform exists if the function:

  1. Is piecewise continuous.
  2. Is of exponential order.

Answer: a) The function is piecewise continuous.


Section 2: Answer Any Five

(i) Subset Proof

Provide an example to prove P(B)P(A)P(B) \subseteq P(A) is false when AA is a proper subset of BB: Example: Let A={1}A = \{1\} and B={1,2}B = \{1, 2\}. Here P(A)={{},{1}}P(A) = \{\{\}, \{1\}\}, but P(B)={{},{1},{2},{1,2}}P(B) = \{\{\}, \{1\}, \{2\}, \{1, 2\}\}. Clearly, P(B)⊈P(A)P(B) \not\subseteq P(A).


(ii) Complete Graph on Three Vertices

A complete graph K3K_3 on three vertices has: Edges=3(31)2=3\text{Edges} = \frac{3(3-1)}{2} = 3 And it forms a triangle.


(iii) Four-Digit Numbers

To form a 4-digit number with digits 0,1,2,...,90, 1, 2, ..., 9 without repetition:

  • First digit: 99 choices (no 0).
  • Second digit: 99 choices.
  • Third digit: 88 choices.
  • Fourth digit: 77 choices.

Total numbers: 9×9×8×7=45369 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 = 4536


Would you like further clarification on any of these solutions or detailed explanations? Here are related follow-up questions:

  1. How can we generalize the number of ways for true-false questions with nn questions?
  2. What is the difference between a Eulerian trail and Hamiltonian path?
  3. Can we prove the formula for the edges in a complete graph using induction?
  4. What are other forms of Laplace transform results for trigonometric functions?
  5. Why is piecewise continuity a necessary condition for the Laplace transform?

Tip: When dealing with subsets and power sets, visualize using Venn diagrams or small examples for clarity.
