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.

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.

Prove that the square root of 17 is irrational. Subsequently, prove that n times the square root of 17 is irrational too, for any natural number n. use the following lemma: Let p be a prime number; if p | a2 then p | a as well. Indicate in your proof the step(s) for which you invoke this lemma. Check for yourself (but you don’t have to include it in your worked solutions) that this need not be true if...

Prove or disprove the following statements. Remember to disprove a statement you have to show that the statement is false. Equivalently, you can prove that the negation of the statement is true. Clearly state it, if a statement is True or False. In your proof, you can use ”obvious facts” and simple theorems that we have proved previously in lecture. (a) For all real numbers x and y, “if x and y are irrational, then x+y is irrational”. (b) For...
