• GradescopeassignmentwiththePDFentireexamwillbeavailableonthe“Midterm”assignment(on
either the regular or Alternate Gradescope).
• Be sure to download the PDF from the Midterm Gradescope assignment.
• There will be no clarifications made directly to individuals. We will listen to issues, but if a problem is identified to be in error, we may choose to address it during the midterm or after the midterm. Please keep moving through the exam.
• Remote: You have 120 minutes to do the exam and then an extra twenty minutes to scan your answer sheet to the Midterm assignment.
• Remote: Clarification Request form: https://forms.gle/fgAom53YWLYGh9HT6
• Clarification Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1240jC66ZIkkHlyDQAOOJaAnadz1l1zKpyUPKeuCtQow/edit
• For emergencies, email or use the disruption form at: https://forms.gle/ aE85kLZrGVQKREfx5. Again, keep working as best as possible, as we cannot respond in real time.
Advice.
• The questions vary in difficulty. In particular, some of the proof questions at the end are quite ac- cessible, and even those are in not necessarily in order of difficulty. All short answers and true false questions are worth 3 points and each written problem is worth 15 unless otherwise stated. No nega- tive points on true/false. So do really scan over the exam a bit.
• The question statement is your friend. Reading it carefully is a tool to get to your “rational place”.
• You may consult only one sheet of notes on both sides. Apart from that, you may not look at books, notes, etc. Calculators, phones, computers, and other electronic devices are NOT permitted.
• You may, without proof, use theorems and lemmas that were proven in the notes and/or in lecture, unless otherwise stated. That is, if we ask you to prove a statement, prove it from basic definitions, e.g., “d | x means x = i(d) for some integer i” is a definition.
Major Gradescope Issues. If there is a global issue and it is not affecting you, please continue. If you are experiencing difficulties with gradescope or zoom, you may check your email, and we will post a global message on piazza and bypass email preferences to inform you of what to do.

3. Stable Matchings.
By a stable matching instance we mean the input to a stable matching problem; a set of jobs and candidates with preference lists. Recall a matching is a set of job-candidate pairs which contains all jobs and candidates exactly once. The “favorite” partner of an entity, job or candidate, is the first on their preference list.

2. For any stable matching instance, any matching is stable if for each pair in the matching either the job has their favorite candidate or the candidate has their favorite job.

5. Proofs.
1. 10pointsShowthatifa+b+c>2100,thena>700orb>700orc>700.
2. Show that any multiple of 5 cents larger than 25 cents can be achieved with a combination of quarters (which are worth 25 cents) and dimes (which are worth 10 cents). (For example, 40 cents can be formed with with 4 dimes, and 45 cents can be formed using two dimes and a quarter.)
3. Given two stable matchings M1 and M2, we say that M1 is job-preferred to M2 if every job prefers M1 at least as much as M2. In other words, every job is matched to a candidate in M1 that is at least as high on the job’s preference list as its candidate in M2. Similarly, we say that M1 is candidate-preferred to M2 if every candidate prefers M1 at least as much as M2.
Prove that if M1 is job-preferred to M2, then M2 is candidate-preferred to M1.

6. Graphs: 2 pts/box on two box questions
For the following assume all graphs are simple (i.e., have at most one edge between any two vertices).
For parts 1-5, answers are a range: L ≤ m ≤ U where m is the quantity that is asked for. Give as tight a range
as possible, e.g., in some cases L = U .
For example, the “Number of edges in a 3-vertex graph” has L: 0, and U : 3.

L: U: (g) In a connected planar bipartite graph on n vertices, where the minimum length cycle is at least 5. L: U: 7 For the following, a cut is a partition of V into S and V − S, and the edges in the cut are edges with one endpoint in S and one in V − S. 2. Consider a hypercube with N vertices and a cut in the hypercube where both sides of the cut have N/2 vertices. How many edges are in the cut? L: U: 3.

Let a "Big Chungus" graph be any connected graph with exactly 105 edges and 100 vertices and contains K5 as a subgraph, i.e., there are five vertices with all possible edges between them. (a) True or False: All Big Chungus graphs are non-planar. True h False h (b) What is the largest number of edges that can be removed without disconnecting Big Chungus? 7.

7. Alice and Bob play a cooperative game. Each round (starting at round 1), they will each shoot a basketball, and they win when both of them make a shot on the same round. Alice will miss her first 2 shots (rounds 1 and 2), and starting with round 3 she will make every 5th shot (she will make shots 3, 8, etc). Bob will make every 4th shot starting with shot 1 (makes 1, 5, etc).
(a) On what round number will the duo win the game?
(b) What is the next round where they will both score again?
8. Given a secret of 6 bits that needs to be shared among 47 people where any 21 of the people can reconstruct the secret using polynomials over arithmetic (mod p) (for p prime), what is the smallest possible value for p?

Showthatxp! =1 (mod p)forx̸≡0 (mod p).
11. Working (mod 7), consider the polynomial:
100
4 + ∑ xk!
k=0 (a) Evaluate x3! (mod 7) for x ̸= 0 (mod 7).
(mod 7).
Reminder: Use your answer sheet!!
11

(b) Give a degree 2 polynomial that is equivalent to 4 + ∑100 xk! (mod 7) for x ̸= 0 (mod 7). (Recall k=0
that 0! = 1.)
(c) What are the roots of the resulting polynomial? (Maybe useful: 4 = −3 (mod 7).)
12. A common test for determining if a natural number is divisible by 7 is to take the last digit, multiply it by 2, and subtract it from the rest of the number. If the resulting number is divisible by 7, then the original number is also divisible by 7. For example, the number 553 is divisible by 7 because 55 − 2(3) = 49, which is a multiple of 7.
(a) Give an x ∈ {7,…,14} where x ≡ (−2)−1 (mod 7).
(b) We can come up with a similar divisibility rule for any number that is relatively prime to 10. Let n = 10a + b where b is the last digit of n and a is the number represented by the other digits. Given any d such that gcd(d,10) = 1, there exists a multiplier x such that the following statement holds:
n = 10a+b is divisible by d if and only if a+xb is divisible by d.
Find a general expression for x. Your answer may be expressed in terms of d.

13. Consider any k points (x1,y1),(x2,y2),…,(xk,yk). If there exists a unique degree k polynomial over a finite field that contains the points and whose leading coefficient is 1, it has the form P(x) = xk + Q(x), for some polynomial Q(x).
(a) What is the maximum degree for Q(x)?
(b) What is the value of Q(xi)?
(c) Prove that there exists a unique P(x) with leading coefficient 1 that goes through the k points.
14. Alice has 3 packets to send to Bob and Charlie. She uses Berlekamp-Welch to protect against 2 general errors, so she sends 7 packets in total. While reconstructing Alice’s message, Bob finds the error-locater polynomial E (x) = (x − 1)(x − 2). Charlie receives the same packets Bob did, but instead finds the error-locater polynomial E (x) = (x − 1)(x − 3). Assuming at most 2 general errors occurred, and Bob and Charlie did not make any mistakes, which of the following must be true?
Reminder: Use your answer sheet!!
(a) A corruption occurred on packet 1.
(b) No corruption occurred on packets 2 and 3.
(c) No corruption occurred on packets 4 through 7.
