1.738Clearly show why your counterexample works. Also, read the problem carefully so you do not come up with a false counterexample.
2.130Prove your conclusion.
2.216eUse a "set containment proof". Your proof should contain phrases like "Let x∈FOO", "by the definition of union", "thus FOO⊆FERZLE", etc.
2.320N is the set of natural numbers ({0, 1, 2, ...}). Also, when part c says "different than the identity", it means it cannot always map a number to itself, regardless of what the function looks like. So functions like f(x)=⌊x⌋ or f(x)=2*(x/2) don't count.
36Make sure you clearly indicate which answer is which.

26bhDo not give a recursive formula. I should be able to determine a100 by just plugging in 100, for instance. Assume the first term is a1.

34bMake sure to show your work.
