number thoery just need 2 answered 2. Let n be a positive integer. Denote the number of positive integers less than n and rela- tively prime to n by p(n). Let a, b be positive integers such that ged(a,n) god(b,n)-1 Consider the set s, = {(a), (ba), (ba), ) (see Prollern 1). Let s-A]. Show that slp(n). 1. Let a, b, c, and n be positive integers such that gcd(a, n) = gcd(b, n) = gcd(c, n) = 1 If...
DEFINITION: For a positive integer n, τ(n) is the number of positive divisors of n and σ(n) is the sum of those divisors. 4. The goal of this problem is to prove the inequality in part (b), that o(1)+(2)+...+on) < nº for each positive integer n. The first part is a stepping-stone for that. (a) (10 points.) Fix positive integers n and k with 1 <ksn. (i) For which integers i with 1 <i<n is k a term in the...

Q18 12 Points For any positive integer n, let bn denote the number of n-digit positive integers whose digits are all 1 or 2, and have no two consecutive digits of 1. For example, for n - 3, 121 is one such integer, but 211 is not, since it has two consecutive 1 's at the end. Find a recursive formula for the sequence {bn}. You have to fully prove your answer.

If a and b are positive integers, then gcd (a,b) = sa + tb. Prove that either s or t is negative.
Prove that if an integer n is not divisible by 3, then n^2=3k+1 for some integer k. Note: “not divisible by 3” means either “n=3m+1 for some integer m” or “n=3m+2 for some integer m”.
This Question must be proven using mathematical induction 1: procedure GCD(a, b: positive integers) 2 if a b then return a 3: 4: else if a b then 5: return GCD (a -b, b) 6: else return GCD(a,b-a) 8: end procedure Let P(a, b) be the statement: GCD(a, b)-ged(a,b). Prove that P(a, b) is true for all positive integer a and b.
