Check all the statements that are true:

A. There are functions from a set of n elements to a set of m elements.

B. If n is a nonnegative integer, then the sum of all the C(n,k) is .

C. The cardinality of a cartesian product of sets is the product of the cardinalities of the individual sets.

D. There are n! bijections from a set with n elements to itself.

E. A surjective function from a set of n elements to a set of n elements is automatically injective .

F. If a procedure can be broken down into a sequence of two tasks, and if there are n ways to do the first task, and m ways to do the second task, then there are nm ways to do the procedure.

G. If there are 2n+1 objects in n boxes, then at least one box must contain at least 3 objects.

H. If a task can be done either in one of n ways or in one of m ways, then there are n+m ways to do the task.

I. If n and r are nonnegative integers and , then C(n,r) = P(n,r)/r!.

J. Combinations C(n,r) are symmetrical in r with respect to the point .

K. An injective function from a set of n elements to a set of n elements is automatically surjective.

L. If S is a finite set, S has 2|S| subsets.

M. If n and k are positive integers with , then C(n+1,k) = C(n,k) + C(n,k+1).

N. If n is a positive integer, then the alternating sums of all the C(n,k) are 0.

O. A finite set with n members has C(n,k) subsets of size k.

Final answer:

The true statements are A, C, D, F, K, and O. There are functions from a set of n elements to a set of m elements. The cardinality of a cartesian product of sets is the product of the cardinalities of the individual sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The true statements from the given options are:

  • A. There are functions from a set of n elements to a set of m elements.
  • C. The cardinality of a cartesian product of sets is the product of the cardinalities of the individual sets.
  • D. There are n! bijections from a set with n elements to itself.
  • F. If a procedure can be broken down into a sequence of two tasks, and if there are n ways to do the first task, and m ways to do the second task, then there are nm ways to do the procedure.
  • K. An injective function from a set of n elements to a set of n elements is automatically surjective.
  • O. A finite set with n members has C(n,k) subsets of size k.
