The Modular Operation x mod m = r denotes that r is the remainder
3. If two integers have the same
4.
of the division of x by m. For example, 27 mod 4
remainder, then they are equivalent. For example, 27 = 55 mod 4.
An integer x is called prime if the only two positive integers that evenly divide it are 1
and x.
Using these definitions, rewrite each of the following theorems using quantifiers and pred-
icates. Note that the theorems are not precisely stated.
You are allowed to use only the predicate Prime(x) that is True if x is a prime, and
False otherwise. No other predicates can be used. You can also use either | or the mod
definition to indicate that a number is divisible by another. Consider all numbers as
positive integers greater than 0.
Lagrange's four-square theorem: Every natural number can be expressed
а.
as a sum of four integer squares.
b.
Kaplansky's theorem on quadratic forms (partial): Any prime number p
equivalent to 1 mod 16 can be represented by both or neither of the forms x2 + 32y?
and x2 + 64y?.

23 and 32 whose values are consecutive.
