Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that this is not the only way of doing this: we could show (1) and then for (2) show that every string that is non-acceptable to M is rejected by M d. You might like to try this approach.

  2. 2.

    Bear in mind that the class of the context free grammars includes the class of the regular grammars.
