Question Number 135889 by Ar Brandon last updated on 16/Mar/21

1\ If A and B are sets define their scheffer product A∗B by A∗B=A∗∩B∗  Prove by definitions that (A∗B)∗(A∗B)=A∪B    2\ State the strong principle of mathematical induction.  Suppose that a_1 =1 , a_2 =3  a_k =a_(k−2) +2a_(k−1)  for all natural numbers k≥3. Use the strong principle of  mathematical induction to prove that a_n  is odd for all natural numbers.
