Step 1
Base case (n=0): For n=0, we have 5^(2*0+1) + 2^(2*0+1) = 5^1 + 2^1 = 5 + 2 = 7, which is not divisible by 4. Therefore, the statement is not true for all n ≥ 0. B: Let's think step by step. Show more…

(a) Let n be an integer. Prove that if n^2 is even, then n^2 is divisible by 4 (b) Prove that if k is an odd integer, then 2k is not divisible by 4. (c) Prove that the sum of the squares of two odd integers can not be equal to the square of an integer

a) Direct proofs: 1. Prove that if n is odd, then n^2 is odd. 2. Prove that n is even if and only if n^2 is even. 3. Prove that for any integer x, the integer x(x + 1) is even. 4. Prove that the product of any two odd integers is odd. b) Indirect proofs: (proof by contrapositive): 1. Let n be an integer. Show that if n^2 is even, then n is also even. 2. Show that if n is a positive integer such that the sum of its positive divisors is n+1, then n is prime. c) Proof by case: 1. Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. 2. Prove: For any integer n, the number (n^3-n) is even.
