Answer #1

We will prove that for any , there exist such that .

So for it can be written as of the form for some .

Now for any natural numbers which is greater than 16 can be written as of the forn or .

As   it can be written as of the form for some so   and   also can be written as of the form   for some .

Hence there exist a minimum value such that for every positive integer , such that .

You’re the grader. To each “Proof”, assign one of the following grades: • A (correct), if the claim and proof are correct, even if the proof is not the simplest, or the proof you would have given. • C (partially correct), if the claim is correct and the proof is largely a correct claim, but contains one or two incorrect statements or justications. • F (failure), if the claim is incorrect, the main idea of the proof is incorrect, or...
