Let n be an integer. Use Definition 1.6 to explain why 2n + 7 is an odd integer.
Assume n is an integer. Prove that n is odd iff 3n2 + 4 is odd. Remember that to prove p iff q, you need to prove (i) p → q, and (ii) q → p. Use the fact that any odd n can be expressed as 2k + 1 and any even n can be expressed as 2k, where k is an integer. No other assumptions should be made.
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....
Definition of Even: An integer n ∈ Z is even if there exists an integer q ∈ Z such that n = 2q. Definition of Odd: An integer n ∈ Z is odd if there exists an integer q ∈ Z such that n = 2q + 1. Use these definitions to prove only #5: 2. Prove that zero is even. 3. Prove that for every natural number n ∈ N, either n is even or n is odd. 4....
ly(mod n). 2. Let n > 1 be an odd integer and suppose ? = y2 (mod n) for some x Prove that ged(x - yn) and ged(x + y, n) are nontrivial divisors of n.
Problem 6: Let p be an odd prime number, so that p= 2k +1 for some positive integer k. Prove that (k!)2 = (-1)k+1 mod p. Hint: Try to see how to group the terms in the product (p − 1)! = (2k)! = 1 * 2 * 3... (2k – 2) * (2k – 1) * (2k) to get two products, each equal to k! modulo p.
3 For each positive integer n, define E(n) 2+4++2n (a) Give a recursive definition for E(n). (b) Let P(n) be the statement E(n) nn1)." Complete the steps below to give a proof by induction that P(n) holds for every neZ+ i. Verify P(1) is true. (This is the base step.) ii. Let k be some positive integer. We assume P(k) is true. What exactly are we assuming is true? (This is the inductive hypothesis.) iii. What is the statement P(k...
Prove that if m is an odd integer then there is an integer n such that n= 4m+ 1 or n= 4m+ 3. Use a proof by cases.

6. Definition: We call a number n an integer root if nk = m for some k E N and m e Z. Use this definition to show that if a and b are integer roots, then so is ab.
Problem 7. Let M = 2" – 1, where n is an odd prime. Let p be any prime factor of M. Prove that p=n·2j + 1 for some positive integer j.
