Since the product of n consecutive integers viz. n(n-1)(n-2) ... 3.2.1 = n! is divisible by n!, so the product of any four consecutive integers must be divisible by 4! = 24.
prove the product of 4 consecutive integers is always divisible by 24 using the principles of math induction
Prove by induction that the sum of any sequence of 3 positive consecutive integers is divisible by 3. Hint, express a sequence of 3 integers as n+(n+1)+(n+2).
1. Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For all positive integers n. 2++ n+1) = 2. Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For all nonnegative integers n, 3 divides 22n-1. 3. Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For all integers n 27,3" <n!
please answer all the questions. just rearranging. Explanation is not needed. Use modular arithmetic to prove that 3|(221 – 1) for an integer n > 0. Hence, 3|(221 – 1) for n > 0. To show that 3|(221 – 1), we can show that (221 – 1) = 0 (mod 3). We have: (221 – 1) = (4” – 1) (mod 3) Then, (22n – 1) = (1 - 1) = 0 (mod 3) Since 4 = 1 (mod 3),...
Below are three statements that can be proven by induction. You do not need to prove these statements! For each one: clearly state the predicate involved; state what you would need to prove in the base case; clearly state the induction hypothesis in terms of the language of the proposition (i.e., without using notation to represent the predicate); and then clearly state the inductive step in terms of the language of the proposition. 1. For all positive integers n, 3...

3. Consecutive Sums a. (4 pts) Write 90 as the sum of consecutive positive integers in as many ways as possible. b. (4 pts) If a number can be written as n (d)(t) where d is an odd number of the form 2k + 1 and d is greater than 1, show symbolically how n can be written as the sum of consecutive numbers. Illustrate this with one example from part a. c. (4 pts) State a conjecture identifying the...

4. Here is a fact about permutations: (*) nPr= n!/(n-k)!, for all k =n. Let's prove this via mathematical induction for the fixed case k-3. 2 of 3 (i) Write clearly the statement (**) we wish to prove. Be sure your statement includes the phrase "for all n" (ii) State explicitly the assumption in (*) we will thus automatically make about k-2 (ii) Now recall that to prove by induction means to show that IfmPm!/lm-k)! is true for all km...
