Prove the following propositions If n is an integer and a so
Prove the following propositions. If n is an integer and a solution to n^2 = n + 4, then n > 7. If n is an integer and a solution to n^2 = n + 4, then n
Solution
a) Given, n2 = n +4
n2 -n - 4 = 0
n = (1+ undert 1 + 16) / 2 or (1- undert 1 + 16) / 2
= (1 + undert17)/2 or (1 - undert17)/2
hence no integer can satisfy n2 = n+4
b) False
c)N12 + N22 + N32 = N
N belongs {9,14}, which is not possible
hence this proposition is also false
as N = 10 can not be a sum of three natural numbers
