A boolean function on $n$ variables is a function $f$ that takes an n-tuple of boolean values $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ as input and produces a boolean value $f(x)\in \{0,1\}$ as output.

We say that a boolean function $f$ is symmetric if, for all inputs $x,y \in \{0,1\}^n$ with the same number of zeros (and hence the same number of ones), $f(x)=f(y)$. What is the number of symmetric boolean functions on $n$ variables?

1. $n+1$
2. $n!$
3. $\displaystyle \sum^n_{i=0} \begin{pmatrix} n\\i \end{pmatrix}$
4. $2^{n+1}$

Let $\Sigma=\{a,b\}.$ For two non-empty languages $L_1$ and $L_2$ over $\Sigma$, we define $Mix(L_1,L_2)$ to be $\{w_1\;u\;w_2\;v\;w_3|\;u\in L_1,v\in L_2,w_1,w_2,w_3\in \Sigma^*\}$. Give two languages $L_1$ and $L_2$ ... $Mix(L_1,L_2)$ is also regular. Provide languages $L_1$ and $L_2$ that are not regular, for which $Mix(L_1,L_2)$ is regular.
