Recall that for any integers x and y, we say that x is divisible by y if and only if there exists an integer k such that x=ky.
Prove by induction the following claim: n^3 + 2n is divisible by 3. ( n^3 =n*n*n)

Prove by induction that the sum of any sequence of 3 positive consecutive integers is divisible by 3. Hint, express a sequence of 3 integers as n+(n+1)+(n+2).
prove the product of 4 consecutive integers is always divisible by 24 using the principles of math induction. Could anyone help me on this one? Thanks in advance!Sure For induction we want to prove some statement P for all the integers. We need: P(1) to be true (or some base case) If P(k) => P(k+1) If the statement's truth for some integer k implies the truth for the next integer, then P is true for all the integers. Look at...
Exercise 1.6.4: Prove the following by induction: (a) “k - n(n+1)(2n +1) k= 1 (b) If n > 1, then 13-n is divisible by 3. (c) For n 3, we have n +4 <2". (d) For any positive integer n, one of n, n+2, and 11+ 4 must be divisible by 3. (e) For all n e N, we have 3" > 2n +1. ()/Prove that, for any x > -1 and any n e N, we have (1+x)" 21+1x.
5. (a) Let m,n be coprime integers, and suppose a is an integer which is divisible by both m and n. Prove that mn divides a. (b) Show that the conclusion of part (a) is false if m and n are not coprime (ie, show that if m and n are not coprime, there exists an integer a such that mla and nla, but mn does not divide a). (c) Show that if hef(x,m) = 1 and hcf(y,m) = 1,...
1) Let n and m be positive integers. Prove: If nm is not divisible by an integer k, then neither n norm is divisible by k. Prove by proving the contrapositive of the statement. Contrapositive of the statement:_ Proof: Direct proof of the contrapositive
Exercise 7 (2 points) Recall the binomial coefficient for integer parameters 0 Sk< n. Prove that Exercise 8 (2 points) Prove the following: if z is an integer with at most three decimal digits aia2a3, then x is divisible by 3 if and only if aut a2 +a3 is divisible by 3. Exercise 9 (3 points) A square number is an integer that is the square of another integer. Let x and y be two integers, each of which can...
