    1) The propositions 𝑝, 𝑞 and 𝑟 are defined follows:

    𝑝: The examination is difficult

    𝑞: The pass mark is 50

    𝑟: I will pass

    Write each of the following as a sentence in words:

    a) 𝑞 → 𝑟 [5]

    b) ~(𝑝˄𝑟) [5]

    2) 𝑝 and 𝑞 are propositions.

    i. Construct a truth table to show the truth values of ~𝑝 → 𝑞 and 𝑝˅𝑞 [5]

    ii. State, with a reason, if ~𝑝 → 𝑞 and 𝑝˅𝑞 are logically equivalent. [2]

    3) Construct a truth table for the following statement: 𝑝 ˅(~𝑞˄𝑟) [8]

    4) Using direct proof, prove that if 𝑛 is an even integer then 7𝑛 + 4 is an even integer. [5]

    5) Using direct proof, prove that the product of two consecutive numbers is even. [5]

    6) Is the following statement true?

    Every number of the form 2𝑛 + 3 is a prime number [5]

    7) Simplify the following: ∑𝑟=2𝑛


    𝑟=1 (𝑟 − 1)(𝑟 + 1) [10]

    8) Evaluate ∑𝑟=25
    𝑟=10 2𝑟(𝑟 + 1) [10]

    9) Simplify ∑𝑟=2𝑛
    𝑟=𝑛+1 𝑟(𝑟 + 4) [10]

    10) Prove, using the principle of mathematical induction

    ∑𝑛𝑟=1(4𝑟 − 3) = 𝑛(2𝑛 − 1) [10]

    11) Prove, using the principle of mathematical induction that, for any integer 𝑛 ≥ 1, 34𝑛 − 1 is

    divisible by 16. [10]

    12) Prove by Mathematical Induction


    1 𝑛
    ∑𝑛𝑟=1 = 𝑛+1 [10]
    𝑟(𝑟+1)
