    Can someone tell me if this is a bipartite graph?

    Thanks for all the valuable insights. I have my final exam this Fri so I can use it :approve:

    Can someone tell me if this is a bipartite graph?

    Homework Statement I know this is the description of a bipartite graph: A bipartite graph G is a simple graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into two mutually disjoint nonempty subsets V1 and V2 such that vertices in V1 may be connected to vertices in V2, but no vertices in V1 are...

    Question: Is Hamming function one to one?

    I didn't even think to check it out that way. So with 32 inputs (domain) and 5 outputs (range), there's no way it can be one to one unless I'm missing something. Now if it we're an encoding function where it would have to encode/decode back and forth, that would be one to one I think...

    Question: Is Hamming function one to one?

    Homework Statement I have a Hamming function which takes two inputs, domain & co-domain and the output is how many bits are different. Example: f(11100, 11101) = 1 (only one bit is different). Is this one to one? I say no because there could be many other combinations if inputs that can...

    Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula

    Ha, I thought someone else posted in here too, but that was a different thread. Thanks to just you! Everyone else who will learn from this thread thanks you too! :approve:

    Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula

    Dam, I forgot to drop the +7 down on my notes. Either way I didn't even think to express +7 as \frac{21}{3} . I keep learning something new every time I post to these forums. Thanks Everyone!

    Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula

    Sorry to bring this post back up, but I'm not finding it so easy to do the inductive step. Can you or someone else let me know what I'm doing wrong. A: (Basic Step) Prove for n = 0: e0= ##\displaystyle \frac{(4^{0+2}-7)}{3}## = 3 (Initital condition) B: Assume n = k ek=...

    Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula

    Thanks for the help. I simplified it to this: ##\displaystyle \frac{(4^{n+2}-7)}{3}## I never realized their was so many ways that I could represent the same equation. The next part of my question is to prove it using mathematical induction so I want to make sure I have the simplest...

    Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula

    Would it be (4(n-1)-1) / 3 Can't get superscript & frac to work at the same time :confused:

    Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula

    Homework Statement The sequence {en} is defined recursively as e0 = 3; ek = 4ek-1 + 7, for all k ≥ 1. Use iteration to make an educated guess at an explicit formula for the sequence. The attempt at a solution I spent all day on this one and I'm still lost. e1 = 4 x e0 + 7 = 4 x 3 + 7...

    Find the explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence?

    Ah, that's where the two came from. It cancels out the almost factorial :approve: Thanks again for everyone's assistance. I like how everyone on here helps you figure out the answer for yourself, which is turn makes it's easier to understand come exam time.

    Find the explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence?

    Yes I can see how you did all the math to acquire the answer, but how you got the \frac{1}{2} confuses me a little. Is it because the question stated k ≥ 2 so you pulled it out of the factorial? Than you multiply both sides by 2 to isolate the nk. Thanks for your patience with me!

    Find the explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence?

    Thanks for all the clarifications. I have been mixing up the terms and it's been hurting my grades. so would it be n_k = \frac{2}{(k+1)!} Thanks. That's what I like about this forums. You can always count on everyone to correct all these errors. I have been learning a lot from them...

    Find the explicit formula for the nth term of the sequence?

    Sorry, I am trying to learn how to put the equations in using the correct symbols, so I forgot the parenthesis, which I know totally changes the equation. I meant the later.. n_k = \frac{(n_{k-1})}{(k+1)} ?
