1 point Prove the following statement: If n2 is even, then n is even. Order each of the following sentences so that they form a logical proof. Proof by Contrapositive: Choose from these sentences: Your Proof: Suppose n is odd. Then by definitionn 2k +1 for some integer k Required to show if n is not even (odd), then n is not even (odd). Thus n2(2k1)2. n24k2 4k1. 22(22+2k) +1 Thus n2 (an integer) +1 and by definition is odd....
In the following problem, we will work through a proof of an important theorem of arithmetic. Your job will be to read the proof carefully and answer some questions about the argument. Theorem (The Division Algorithm). For any integer n ≥ 0, and for any positive integer m, there exist integers d and r such that n = dm + r and 0 ≤ r < m. Proof: (By strong induction on the variable n.) Let m be an arbitrary...
1. [10 marks] Modular Arithmetic. The Quotient-Remainder theorem states that given any integer n and a positive integer d there exist unique integers q and r such that n = dq + r and 0 r< d. We define the mod function as follows: (, r r>n = qd+r^0<r< d) Vn,d E Z d0 Z n mod d That is, n mod d is the remainder of n after division by d (a) Translate the following statement into predicate logic:...

tell me the answer,don't explain Outline a proof of the following statement by writing the "starting point" and the "conclusion to be shown" in a proof of the statement: For all integers a, b, and c, if a b and ac, then a (5b + 3c). That is, complete the sentences below. Proof: Assume We must show that Assume that a(5b + 3c); We must show that alb, and alc. Oa Assume a = 2, b=6, c=12; We must show...
Question 8: For any integer n 20 and any real number x with 0<<1, define the function (Using the ratio test from calculus, it can be shown that this infinite series converges for any fixed integer n.) Determine a closed form expression for Fo(x). (You may use any result that was proven in class.) Let n 21 be an integer and let r be a real number with 0<< 1. Prove that 'n-1(2), n where 1 denotes the derivative of...
8.5 Theorem. Let s andt be any two different natural numbers with s t. Then (2st. (). is a Pythagorean triple. The preceding theorem lets us easily generale infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but, in fact, cvery primitive Pythagorean triple can be generated by chousing appropriale natural numbers s and and making the Pythagorean triple as described in the preceding thcorem. As a hint to the proof, we make a little observation. 8.6 Lemma. Let (a, b,e) be a primitive Pythagorean...
QUESTION: PROVE THE FOLLOWING 4.3 THEOREM IN THE CASE r=1(no induction required, just use the definition of the determinants) Theorem 4.3. The determinant of an n × n matrix is a linear function of each row when the remaining rows are held fixed. That is, for 1 Sr S n, we have ar-1 ar-1 ar-1 ar+1 ar+1 ar+1 an an rt whenever k is a scalar and u, v, and each a are row vectors in F". Proof. The proof...
PROOFS: Use these theorems and others to prove these statements. Theorem 1: The sum of two rational numbers is rational. Theorem 2: The product of two rational numbers is rational. Theorem 3: √ 2 is irrational. Induction: Prove that 6 divides n 3 − n for any n ≥ 0 Use strong induction to prove that every positive integer n can be written as the sum of distinct powers of 2. That is, prove that there exists a set of...
