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...

1)Let ? be an integer. Prove that ?^2 is even if and only if ? is even. (hint: to prove that ?⇔? is true, you may instead prove ?: ?⇒? and ?: ? ⇒ ? are true.) 2) Determine the truth value for each of the following statements where x and y are integers. State why it is true or false. ∃x ∀y x+y is odd.

1. Write a proof for all non-zero integers x and y, if there exist integers n and m such that xn + ym = 1, then gcd(x, y) = 1. 2. Write a proof for all non-zero integers x and y, gcd(x, y) = 1 if and only if gcd(x, y2) = 1.

PLEASE ANSWER EVERYTHING  IN DETAIL.... THANK YOU! Find the mistake in the proof - integer division. Theorem: If w, x, y, z are integers where w divides x and y divides z, then wy divides xz. For each "proof" of the theorem, explain where the proof uses invalid reasoning or skips essential steps. (a)Proof. Since, by assumption, w divides x, then x = kw for some integer k. Since, by assumption, y divides z, then z = ky for some integer...

Use the method of direct proof to prove the following statements. 26. Every odd integer is a difference of two squares. (Example 7 = 4 2 −3 2 , etc.) 20. If a is an integer and a^ 2 | a, then a ∈ { −1,0,1 } 5. Suppose x, y ∈ Z. If x is even, then x y is even.

Consider the following statement: For every integer x, if 4x2 - 3x + 2 is even, then x is even. Answer the following questions about this statement. 1(a) Provide the predicate for the starting assumption for a proof by contraposition for the given statement. 1(b) Provide the conclusion predicate for a proof by contraposition for the given statement. 1(c) Prove the statement is true by contraposition.

Suppose you have two numbers x, y ∈ Q (that is, x and y are rational numbers). a) Use the formal definition of a rational number to express each of x and y as the ratio of two integers. Remember, x and y could be different numbers! (b) Use your results from (a) to show that xy must also be a rational number. Carefully justify your answer, showing how it satisfies the formal definition of a rational number. (2) Suppose...

Prove the following theorem: For every integer n, there is an even integer k such that n ≤ k+1 < n + 2. Your proof must be succinct and cannot contain more than 60 words, with equations or inequalities counting as one word. Type your proof into the answer box. If you need to use the less than or equal symbol, you can type it as <= or ≤, but the proof can be completed without it.
