C. Prove the following claim, using proof by induction. Show your work.

Let d be the day you were born plus 7 (e.g., if you were born on March 24, d = 24 + 7). If a = 2d + 1 and b = d + 1, then aⁿ – b is divisible by d for all natural numbers n.

Let D and D'be integral domains. Let c = charD and c'= charD' (a) Prove that the direct product D ×D'has unity. (b) Let a ∈D and b∈D'. Prove that (a, b) is a unit in D ×D'⇐⇒ a is a unit in D, b is a unit in D'. (c) Prove that D×D'is never an integral domain. (d) Prove that if c, c'> 0, then char(D ×D') = lcm(c, c') (e) Prove that if c = 0, then char(D...

Prove the following using the method suggested: (a) Prove the following either by direct proof or by contraposition: Let a ∈ Z, if a ≡ 3 (mod 5) and b ≡ 2 (mod 5), then ab ≡ 1 (mod 5). (b) Prove the following by contradiction: Suppose a, b ∈ Z. If a² + b² is odd, then (2|a) ⊕ (2|b), where ⊕ is the exclusive disjuntion, i.e. p ⊕ q = (p ∨ q) ∧ ¬(p ∧ q). (d)...

REAL ANALYSIS I Prove the following exercises (please show all your work)- Exercise 1.1.2: Let S be an ordered set. Let A ⊂ S be a nonempty finite subset. Then A is bounded. Furthermore, inf A exists and is in A and sup A exists and is in A. Hint: Use induction. Exercise 1.1.9: Let S be an ordered set and A is a nonempty subset such that sup A exists. Suppose there is a B ⊂ A such that...

Please be able to follow the COMMENT Use induction proof to prove that For all positive integers n we have the inequality n<=2^n here is the step: base step: P(1)= 1<=2^1 inductive step: k+1<= 2^(k)+1 <= 2^(k)+k (since k>=1) <= 2^(k)+2^(k) = 2X2^(k) =2^(k+1) i don't understand why 1 can be replaced by k and i don't know why since k>=1
