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...
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.
prove the product of 4 consecutive integers is always divisible by 24 using the principles of math induction. Could anyone help me on this one? Thanks in advance!Sure For induction we want to prove some statement P for all the integers. We need: P(1) to be true (or some base case) If P(k) => P(k+1) If the statement's truth for some integer k implies the truth for the next integer, then P is true for all the integers. Look at...
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....
UUIDOR Quiz 2 - Ma Consider the following theorem. Theorem: The sum of any even integer and any odd integer is odd. Six of the sentences in the following scrambled list can be used to prove the theorem. By definition of even and odd, there are integers rands such that m = 2r and n = 2s + 1. By substitution and algebra, m + n = 2r + 25 + 1) = 2(r + s) + 1. Suppose m...
