Prove that there is no positive integer n so that 25 < n2 < 36. Prove this by directly proving the negation. Your proof must only use integers, inequalities and elementary logic. You may use that inequalities are preserved by adding a number on both sides, or by multiplying both sides by a positive number. You cannot use the square root function. Do not write a proof by contradiction.

a. Find an algorithm for solving the following problem: Given a positive integer n, find the list of positive integers whose product is the largest among all the lists of positive integers whose sum is n. For example, if n is 4, the desired list is 2, 2 because 2 × 2 is larger than 1 × 1 × 1 × 1, 2 × 1 × 1, and 3 × 1. If n is 5, the desired list is 2,...

Show that, for any positive integer n, n lines ”in general position” (i.e. no two of them are parallel, no three of them pass through the same point) in the plane R2 divide the plane into exactly n2+n+2 regions. (Hint: Use the fact that an nth line 2 will cut all n − 1 lines, and thereby create n new regions.)
