Prove n+1 < n for n>0 Assume for a value k; K+1< K We now do the inductive hypothesis, by adding 1 to each side K+1+1 < k+1 => K+2< k+1 Thus we show that for all consecutive integers k; k+1> k Where did we go wrong?

Prove that there exist n consecutive positive integers each having a (nontrivial) square factor. How would you then modify your proof so that each of these integers instead has a cube factor (or more generally, a kth power factor where k ≥ 2)? This is a number theory question. Please show all steps and make clear notes about what is happening for a clear understanding. Please write clearly or do in latex. Thank you

Let A ={1-1/n | n is a natural number} Prove that 0 is a lower bound and 1 is an upper bound:  Start by taking x in A.  Then x = 1-1/n for some natural number n.  Starting from the fact that 0 < 1/n < 1 do some algebra and arithmetic to get to 0 < 1-1/n <1. Prove that lub(A) = 1:  Suppose that r is another upper bound.  Then wts that r<= 1.  Suppose not.  Then r<1.  So 1-r>0....

Given A is a mxn matrix with dim(N(A)) if u=(α(1), α(2),..., α(n))^T ∈N(A). Prove that α(1)a(1)+α(2)a(2)+...+α(n)a(n)=0, where a(1), a(2),..., a(n) are columns of A. Now suppose that B is the matrix obtained from A by performing row operations: Show that α(1)b(1)+α(2)b(2)+...+α(n)b(n)=0, where b(1), b(2),..., b(n) are columns of B. Show that the converse is also true.
