- [ 10 ] (Freshman’s Dream) Let z denote z z z · · · z with z appearing n times. Prove n n n that ( x ⊕ y ) = x ⊕ y for all x, y ∈ R ∪ {∞} and positive integer n . n n Solution: Without loss of generality, suppose that x ≤ y , then LHS = min( x, y ) = x = n n nx , and RHS = min( x , y ) = min( nx, ny ) = nx .
