2: Use mathematical induction to prove that for any odd integer n >= 1, 4 divides 3n + 1 ====== Please type / write clearly. Thank you, and I will thumbs up!
Prove that a(a + 1)(2a + 1) is divisible by 6 for integer a using a quicker proof of this, based on the observation that 6 I m (6 divides m) if and only if 2 I m (2 divides m) and 3 I m (3 divides m). Please use modulo congruences.
5.Prove Proposition. Suppose that a, -a and bb and a>b. Then there is a positive integer M such that ifp2 M and q 2 M then a >b Suggestions to get you started 0. It is easier to use a direct proof. Do not try to prove this one by contradiction. 0'. Draw the picture of the situation 1. Since a< b, what does the Hausdorff Lemma say? Draw the real line showing what the Hausdorff Lemma sets up for...
1. Let m be a nonnegative integer, and n a positive integer. Using the division algorithm we can write m=qn+r, with 0 <r<n-1. As in class define (m,n) = {mc+ny: I,Y E Z} and S(..r) = {nu+ru: UV E Z}. Prove that (m,n) = S(n,r). (Remark: If we add to the definition of ged that gedan, 0) = god(0, n) = n, then this proves that ged(m, n) = ged(n,r). This result leads to a fast algorithm for computing ged(m,...
