12. Consider the following (true) claim and two possible proofs. Claim. If n is a positive integer, then n² + 3n+2 is not a prime number. Proof 1. Note that n² + 3n+2= (n + 2)(n+1). Since n 1, we have n + 1>1 and n+2 > 1, so n²+3n+2 has at least two divisors other than 1 and is therefore not prime. Proof 2. If n is even then we can write n = 2k for some positive integer k. Then n² + 3n+2 = 4k² + 6k+2 = 2(2k² +3k+1), which is even and greater than 2. Since 2 is the only even prime, it follows that n² + 3n+ 2 is not prime. Which of these proofs are valid (i.e. which of them actually prove the claim)? (a) Both proofs are valid. (b) Proof 1 is valid, but Proof 2 is not. (c) Proof 2 is valid, but Proof 1 is not. (d) Neither proof is valid.
1. Prove by Contrapositive: "If n2 is odd, then n is odd. 2. Prove by mathematical induction: (ab)" = a" b" , for all integer n > 1
Every positive integer is always divisible by 1 and by itself. That is, for every posi- tive integer n we always have 1|n and n|n. We say an integer p ≥ 2 is a prime number if its only divisors are 1 and p. (By convention, 1 is not a prime number.) (a) List the first ten prime numbers. (b) If a positive integer n is not prime, then it is called a composite number. Show that every positive integer n ≥ 2 can be written as a product of prime numbers. (This is called a prime factorization of n. Notice that some primes may need to be repeated. For example, 180 = 2² × 3² × 5 and the primes 2 and 3 are repeated.) Hint: Consider two separate cases based on whether a given number n is prime or composite. For composite numbers, suppose by strong induction that all smaller integers have a prime factorization.
