Write a formal proof to prove the following conjecture to be true or false. If the statement is true, write a formal proof of it. If the statement is false, provide a counterexample and a slightly modified statement that is true and write a formal proof of your new statement. Conjecture: There does not exist a pair of integers m and n such that m^2 - 4n = 2.

Give an example of three positive integers m, n, and r, and three integers a, b, and c such that the GCD of m, n, and r is 1, but there is no simultaneous solution to x ≡ a (mod m) x ≡ b (mod n) x ≡ c (mod r). Remark: This is to highlight the necessity of “relatively prime” in the hypothesis of the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

Let p and q be any two distinct prime numbers and define the relation a R b on integers a,b by: a R b iff b-a is divisible by both p and q. For this relation R: Show that the equivalence classes of R correspond to the elements of  ℤpq. That is: [a] = [b] as equivalence classes of R if and only if [a] = [b] as elements of ℤpq. you may use the following lemma: If p is prime...
