(a) Prove that if y = 4k for k ≥ 1, then there exists a primitive Pythagorean triple (x, y, z) containing y.
(b) Prove that if x = 2k+1 is any odd positive integer greater than 1, then there exists a primitive Pythagorean triple (x, y, z) containing x.
(c) Find primitive Pythagorean triples (x, y, z) for each of z = 25, 65, 85. Then show that there is no primitive Pythagorean triple (x, y, z) with z = 45 or z = 105. (Show all necessary calculations.)

In class we proved that if (x, y, z) is a primitive Pythagorean
triple, then (switching x and y if necessary) it must be that (x,
y, z) = (m2 − n 2 , 2mn, m2 + n 2 ) for some positive integers m
and n satisfying m > n, gcd(m, n) = 1, and either m or n is
even. In this question you will prove that the converse is true: if
m and n are integers satisfying...

Prove: Let x,y be in R such that x < y.
There exists a z in R such that x < z <
y.
Given:
Axiom 8.1. For all x,y,z in
R:

3. a) For any group G and any a∈G, prove that given any
k∈Z+, C(a) ⊆ C(ak).
(HINT: You are being asked to show that C(a) is a subset
of C(ak). You can prove this by proving that if x ∈ C(a), then x
must also be an element of C(ak) for any positive integer
k.)
b) Is it necessarily true that C(a) = C(ak) for any k ∈
Z+? Either prove or disprove this claim.
