Prove by contraposition and again by contradiction: For all integers a,b, and c, if a divides b and a does not divide c then a does not divide b + c Elaboration with definitions / properties used would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Prove that 3 divides n^3 −n for all n ≥ 1.

Let the cardinal number of N, the set of all natural numbers, be א0. Prove that the product set N × N = {(m,n);m ∈ N,n ∈ N} has the same cardinal number. Further prove that Q+, the set of all positive rational numbers, has the cardinal number N_0. Hint: You may use the formula 2^(m−1)(2n − 1) to define a function from N × N to N, see the third example on page 214 of the textbook.

Suppose a > b are natural numbers such that gcd(a, b) = 1. Compute each quantity below, or explain why it cannot be determined (i.e. more than one value is possible). (a) gcd(a3, b2) (b) gcd(a + b, 2a + 3b) (c) gcd(2a,4b)

(A) Prove division with remainder makes sense for integers as well as natural numbers. In other words prove the following. Proposition: Let d be a nonzero integer. For any integer n, there exist unique integers q and r such that n = dq + r and 0 ≤ r < |d|.

Prove 1. For all A, B ∈ Mmn and scalar a, we have A + B,...

Prove 1. For all A, B ∈ Mmn and scalar a, we have A + B, aA ∈ Mmn. 2. For all A, B ∈ Mmn, A + B = B + A. 3. For all A, B, C ∈ Mmn, (A + B) + C = A + (B + C). 4. For each A ∈ Mmn there is a B ∈ Mmn such that A + B = 0mn.

Let A be a subset of all Real Numbers. Prove that A is closed and bounded...

Let A be a subset of all Real Numbers. Prove that A is closed and bounded (I.e. compact) if and only if every sequence of numbers from A has a subsequence that converges to a point in A. Given it is an if and only if I know we need to do a forward and backwards proof. For the backwards proof I was thinking of approaching it via contrapositive, but I am having a hard time writing the proof in...
