Prove the following For all integers ab and c if ab and ac t
Prove the following:
For all integers a,b, and c, if a|b and a|c, then a|(9b-4c).
Solution
For all integers n, 4(n2 + n + 1) 3n2 is a perfect square.
Proof:
Let n is any [particular but arbitrarily chosen] integer. [We must show that (4(n2 + n + 1) 3n2) is a perfect square.] Then, we have
4(n2 + n + 1) 3n2 = 4n2 + 4n + 4 3n2
= n2 + 4n + 4
= (n + 2)2
But is a perfect square [because (n+2) is an integer (being a sum of n and 2).] Hence, (4(n2 + n + 1) 3n2) is an integer
