Create a mathematical proof to prove the following: Given an integer n, and a list of integers such that the numbers in the list sum up to n. Prove that the product of a list of numbers is maximized when all the numbers in that list are 3's, except for one of the numbers being either a 2 or 4, depending on the remainder of n when divided by 3.

Consider the following functions from ℤ × ℤ → ℤ. Which functions are onto? Justify your answer by proving the function is onto or providing a counterexample and explaining why it is a counterexample. (a) f(x,y) = xy + 3 (b) f(x,y) = | xy | + 10 (c) f(x,y) = ⌊( x+y ) / 3⌋

For any Gaussian Integer z ∈ ℤ[i] with z = a+bi , define N(z) =a2 + b2. Using the division algorithm for the Gaussian Integers, we have show that there is at least one pair of Gaussian integers q and r such that w = qz + r with N(r) < N(z). (a) Assuming z does not divide w, show that there are always two such pairs. (b) Fine Gaussian integers z and w such that there are four pairs...

In this exercise we outline a proof of the following statement, which we will be taking for granted in our proof of the division theorem: If a, b ∈ Z with b > 0, the set S = {a − bq : q ∈ Z and a − bq ≥ 0} has a least element. (a) Prove the claim in the case 0 ∈ S. (b) Prove the claim in the case 0 ∈/ S and a > 0. (0...
