Hint: it is sufficient to show A implies B, B implies C, C implies D, and D implies A, as repeated application of the hypothetical syllogism will give you A iff B iff C iff D.

  1. Using the definitions of odd and even show that the following 4 statements are equivalent:
    1. n2 is odd
    2. 1 − n is even
    3. n3 is odd
    4. n + 1 is even

Use the Well Ordering Principle (WOP) to show that 1+2+3+···+n= n(n+1)2 for all n ∈ N. Hint: In general, proofs using the WOP take the following format: proceed by contradiction and find a nonempty set of counterexamples, C, to the statement. The WOP is applied to C to find the smallest element. A contradiction is reached (somehow), which implies that C must actually be empty.
