Question

(1) Use a direct proof to prove the following statement: Let a, b, and c be integers. If a | b and a | c, then a | (3b^2 ? 17c). (2) Use a proof by cases to prove the following statement: If n is an integer, then 3n^3 + 5n + 1 is odd. (3) Use a proof by contrapositive to prove the following statement: If 6n^2 + 5n + 7 is odd, then n is even

          (1) Use a direct proof to prove the following statement: Let a,
b, and c be integers.
  If a | b and a | c, then a | (3b^2 ? 17c).
(2) Use a proof by cases to prove the following statement:
             If n is an
integer, then 3n^3 + 5n + 1 is odd.
(3) Use a proof by contrapositive to prove the following
statement:
               If 6n^2 +
5n + 7 is odd, then n is even

Step 1

This means that there exist integers k and l such that b = ak and c = al. Now, we need to show that a | (3b^2 - 17c). Substituting b and c, we get: 3b^2 - 17c = 3(a^2k^2) - 17(a^2l) = a^2(3k^2 - 17l). Since k and l are integers, 3k^2 - 17l is also an integer. Show more…
