Suppose x,y ∈ R and assume that x < y. Show that for all z ∈ (x,y), there exists α ∈ (0,1) so that αx+(1−α)y = z. Now, also prove that a set X ⊆ R is convex if and only if the set X satisfies the property that for all x,y ∈ X, with x < y, for all z ∈ (x,y), z ∈ X.

Show that if (x,y,z) is a primitive Pythagorean triple, then X and Y cannot both be even and cannot both be odd. Hint: for the odd case, assume that there exists a primitive Pythagorean triple with X and Y both odd. Then use the proposition "A perfect square always leaves a remainder r=0 or r=1 when divided by 4." to produce a contradiction.
