... Claim 1. If a 2 is even, then a is even. [p: a 2 is even; q: a is even; We need to show that p q p q . For a proof by contradiction we assume that the statement we need to show is true is false and show that this leads to a contradiction. So our assumptions is that (p q ) is true, or equi ...

... Clearly, we must show that V>i = V2 for all p. In fact, we show that both assumptions V>i < V>2 and V2 < V i lead to contradictions, so the desired equality must hold. Actually, the proof is not elegant. Since we can use neither symmetry nor rotation arguments, it is necessary to consider individual ...

... Would the limit on the right be any different if you considered a different sequence which converged to 0? Why or why not? 5. Prove: limx toa f (x) = L if and only if for every sequence an with an converging to a and an 6= a for all n, we have limn→∞ f (an ) = L. (Hint: before you get started, ask y ...

... has exactly k nonzero coefficients. Find, with proof, a set of integers m1 , m2 , m3 , m4 , m5 for which this minimum k is achieved. Solution: Taking the mi ’s to be 0, ±a, ±b, with a, b distinct positive integers, we get p(x) = x(x2 − a2 )(x2 − b2 ), which has 3 nonzero coefficients. This shows tha ...

... Corollary 6 Every positive rational number, a, can be expressed uniquely as a = m=n where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Proof. First we will prove that every positive rational number, a, can be written in the form a = m=n where m and n are relatively prime: Since a is assumed to b ...
