... original formula for q. Recall that our proof of the formula we had inExercise 1.4-5 did not explain why the product of three factorials appeared in the denominator,it simply proved the formula ... distinct elements. There are n choices for the first number in the list. For each way of choosing the first element, there are n −1choices for the second. For each choiceof the first two elements, ... theproduct in the denominator of the formula in Exercise 1.4-5 for the number of labellings withthree labels is what it is, and could generalize this formula to four or more labels.Equivalence...

Generally,induction is used to prove that some statement holds for all natural ... 1) for all n ∈ N.By the principle of induction, P (n) is true for all n ∈ N, which proves the claim.This proof would look quite mysterious to anyone not privy to the scratchwork we didbeforehand. ... divisibility hold.1. If a | b, then a | bc for all c.2. If a | b and b | c, then a | c.3. If a | b and a | c, then a | sb + tc for all s and t.4. For all c = 0, a | b if and only if ca | cb.Proof....
