Problem (5), 10 points Let a0:a1, a2, be a sequence of positive integers for which ao-1, and a2n2an an+ for n 2 0. Prove that an and an+l are relatively prime for every non-negative integer n. 2n+an for n >0 Problem (5), 10 points Let a0:a1, a2, be a sequence of positive integers for which ao-1, and a2n2an an+ for n 2 0. Prove that an and an+l are relatively prime for every non-negative integer n. 2n+an for n >0
Let n be a positive integer. We sample n numbers a1, a2,..., an from the set {1,...,n} uniformly at random, with replacement. We say that picks i and j with are a match if ai = aj, i < j. What is the expected total number of matches? Use indicators.
Prove: Let k be a positive integer, and set n :=2k-1(2k – 1). Then (2k+1 – 1)2 = 8n +1 Prove: Let n be a positive integer, and let s and t be integers. Show that Hire (st) = n(s) in (t) mod n.
Exercise 3. [10 pts Let n 2 1 be an integer. Prove that there exists an integer k 2 1 and a sequence of positive integers al , a2, . . . , ak such that ai+1 2 + ai for all i-1, 2, . . . , k-1 and The numbers Fo 0, F1 1, F2 1, F3 2 etc. are the Fibonacci numbers
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:...
6. Let n be any positive integer which n = pq for distinct odd primes p. q for each i, jE{p, q} Let a be an integer with gcd(n, a) 1 which a 1 (modj) Determine r such that a(n) (mod n) and prove your answer.
Problem 10.13. Recal that a polynomial p over R is an expression of the form p(x) an"+an--+..+ar +ao where each aj E R and n E N. The largest integer j such that a/ 0 is the degree of p. We define the degree of the constant polynomial p0 to be -. (A polynomial over R defines a function p : R R.) (a) Define a relation on the set of polynomials by p if and only if p(0) (0)...
3. If the integers mi, i = 1,..., n, are relatively prime in pairs, and a1,..., an are arbitrary integers, show that there is an integer a such that a = ai mod mi for all i, and that any two such integers are congruent modulo mi ... mn. 4. If the integers mi, i = 1,..., n, are relatively prime in pairs and m = mi...mn, show that there is a ring isomorphism between Zm and the direct product...
