Indirect Proofs: Prove Problems 5 - 7 using either proof by contradiction or proof by contraposition. AT LEAST ONE MUST USE PROOF BY CONTRADICTION! 7) For integers c, if c = ab and the ged(a,b) = 1, then a and b are perfect squares. (Hint: If a and b are not perfect squares, what type of number are they?)
this needs to be proven using a direct proof, proof by contraposition, or a proof by contradiction. YOU MUST SHOW ALL STEPS LABEL THEM AND SPACE THEM WELL PLEASE. ALSO INCLUDE ALL DEFINITIONS USED . FORMAL PROOFS ONLY PLEASE 5. 20 pts Prove that if n is an odd positive integer, then n 1 (mod 8)
please answer questions #7-13 7. Use a direct proof to show every odd integer is the difference of two squares. [Hint: Find the difference of squares ofk+1 and k where k is a positive integer. Prove or disprove that the products of two irrational numbers is irrational. Use proof by contraposition to show that ifx ty 22 where x and y are real numbers then x 21ory 21 8. 9. 10. Prove that if n is an integer and 3n...
positive, then r +y> V+y 10. If r and y are (a) Quantify this statement. (b) Give a careful proof of this statement. (c) Suppose drop the condition that r andy be positive, but add the absolute value: we Show that this proposition is false. (d) What if we are more careful and write Jrl + lyl> Vr2 +y2. Is this now true? 11. Consider the statement: The sum of V2 and a rational number is irrational. (a) How should...
DISCRETE MATHEMATIC For question 1, Use mathematical induction to prove the statements are correct for n ∈ Z+(set of positive integers). 1. Prove that for n ≥ 1 1 + 8 + 15 + ... + (7n - 6) = [n(7n - 5)]/2 For question 2, Use a direct proof, proof by contraposition or proof by contradiction. 2. Let m, n ≥ 0 be integers. Prove that if m + n ≥ 59 then (m ≥ 30 or n ≥...
3) [3 marks] Use a proof by cases that for all real number x, xs]x]. You may need this definition. For any real numbers x, [x]= x, if x2 0, -x, otherwise. 4) [3 marks] Give a direct proof that If x is an odd integer and y is an even integer, then x + y is odd. 5) [3 marks] Give a proof by contradiction for the proposition in Q4, above. That is, give a proof by contraction for...
prove by contraposition the following statement: if 8 does not divide (x^2)*((y^2)-2y)), then x is even.
Only need 2-5. Need it done ASAP, thank you in advance!! Proofs 1) (1.7.16) Prove that if m and n are integers and nm is even, then m is even or n is even. * What is the best approach here, direct proof, proof by contraposition, or proof by contradiction why? * Complete the proof. 2) Prove that for any integer n, n is divisible by 3 iff n2 is divisible by 3. Does your proof work for divisibility by...
Prove (4) by breaking the proof into cases akin to the proof of Theorem 1.1. x·y ≤ |x·y| = |x|·|y| for all x,y∈R. (4) (for reference) Theorem 1.1 (Triangle inequality). |x+y|≤|x|+|y| forallx,y∈R. (3) Proof. To prove (3), we consider each possible case so to be able to exploit the definition (1).Case 1: x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0. We then have by (1) that |x| = x, |y| = y, and |x + y| = x + y, and so...
