Show that a and -a have the same divisors and the same multiples.

To show this result you must prove the following conditional statements:

  • If d divides a then d divides -a.  
  • If d divides -a then d divides a.
  • If m is a multiple of a then m is a multiple of -a.
  • If m is a multiple of -a then m is a multiple of a.

Same Topic: 1. For a finite, equiprobable sample space S, show that P(A|B) = |A ∩ B| |B| , for any two events A, B. 2. Use the result in problem 2 to find P(A|B) where |A| = 25, |A − B| = 15, and |B − A| = 10. Note the use of the result from 2 allows us to compute this conditional probability without actually knowing the size of our sample space.

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...

The drawings show three charges that have the same magnitude but may have different signs. In all cases the distance d between the charges is the same. The magnitude of the charges is |q|=6.6 μC, and the distance between them is d=6.8 mm. Determine the magnitude of the net force on charge 2 for each of the three drawings.
