Part I: Constructing proofs.
You must write down all proofs in acceptable mathematical language: make sure you mark the beginning and end of the proof, define all variables, use complete, grammatically correct sentences, and give a justification for each assertion (e.g., by definition of…).
Definitions:
• An integer ? is even if and only if there exists an integer ? such that ? = 2?.
• An integer ? is odd if and only if there exists an integer ? such that ? = 2? + 1.
• Two integers have the same parity when they are both even or when they are both odd. Two integers have opposite parity when one is even and the other one is odd.
• An integer ? is divisible by an integer ? with ? ≠ 0, denoted ? | ?, if and only if there exists an integer ? such that ? = ??.
• A real number ? is rational if and only if there exist integers ? and ? with ? ≠ 0 such that ? = ?/?.
• For any real number ?, the absolute value of ?, denoted |?|, is defined as follows: |?| = { ? if ? ≥ 0; −? if ? < 0 4.
Prove each of the following statements using a direct proof, a proof by contrapositive, a proof by contradiction, or a proof by cases. For each statement, indicate which proof method you used, as well as the assumptions (what you suppose) and the conclusions (what you need to show) of the proof.
a. If ? is divisible by ? and ? is divisible by ?, where ?, ?, and ? are positive integers, then ? +? is divisible by ?.
b. The difference of any rational number and any irrational number is irrational.
c. There is no integer that is both even and odd.
d. Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity.
e. For all real numbers ? and ?, ???(?, ?) = ?+?−|?−?| ? and ???(?, ?) = ?+?+|?−?| ? .

A farmer has 80 meters of fence to make an enclosure for his cows. The enclosure is divided into 2 sections by a fence parallel to one of the sides, as in the drawing below. One section is shaped like a half-hoop and the other is shaped rectangular. Find the dimensions that maximize the total area of the enclosure.

A principal amount P0 is deposited in a bank account earning 3% interest compounded monthly. After 20 years there is $1000 in the account. What was the principal P0?
Suppose you want to buy a house for $300, 000, but you only have $100,000. You are able to make an investment that pays 7.3% annual interest. If the interest is compounded continuously, how long will it take before you can buy your new house?
You are made an offer. You can have $1 million in cash, or you can get a penny today. But then the next day you will get two pennies, the day after that 4 pennies, and so on, the number of pennies doubling each day, for one month.
(a) Explain why the number of pennies on the nth day is
2n.
(b) How long will it take for the quantity of pennies to exceed $1
million worth?
(c) Should you take the million or the penny?
