1. [10 marks] Modular Arithmetic. The Quotient-Remainder theorem states that given any integer n and a positive integer...
In the following problem, we will work through a proof of an important theorem of arithmetic. Your job will be to read the proof carefully and answer some questions about the argument. Theorem (The Division Algorithm). For any integer n ≥ 0, and for any positive integer m, there exist integers d and r such that n = dm + r and 0 ≤ r < m. Proof: (By strong induction on the variable n.) Let m be an arbitrary...
27. (a) Let m and n be integers > 1 which are relatively prime. Show that the map f : Z → Z/mZ × Z/nZ whith f(x) = (x + mZ, x + nZ) is surjective (b) Prove the Chinese Remainder Theorem: If m and n are relatively prime integers > 1 and if a and b are any integers, then there exists a E Z such that b(mod n). a(mod m) and a a Hint: (a)] 27. (a) Let...
Problem 2 (Chinese Remaindering Theorem) [20 marks/ Let m and n be two relatively prime integers. Let s,t E Z be such that sm+tn The Chinese Remaindering Theorem states that for every a, b E Z there exists c E Z such that r a mod m (Va E Z) b mod nmod mn (3) where a convenient c is given by 1. Prove that the above c satisfies both ca mod m and cb mod n 2. LetxEZ. Prove...

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...
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,...
(a) Let n be any positive integer. Briefly explain (no formal proofs) why n > 1 ≡ ¬(n = 1). (b) Recall that a positive integer p is prime iff there do not exist a positive integers n and m, both greater than 1, such that p = nm. (I.e., Prime(p) means ¬∃n ∃m (n > 1 ∧ m > 1 ∧ p = nm).) Give a formal proof of the following: for any prime p, any positive integers n...
Question 8: For any integer n 20 and any real number x with 0<<1, define the function (Using the ratio test from calculus, it can be shown that this infinite series converges for any fixed integer n.) Determine a closed form expression for Fo(x). (You may use any result that was proven in class.) Let n 21 be an integer and let r be a real number with 0<< 1. Prove that 'n-1(2), n where 1 denotes the derivative of...
