Use the given equations in a complete proof of each theorem. Your proof should be expressed in complete English sentences.
(a)
Theorem: If a, b, and c are integers such that a3|b and b2|c, then a6|c.
b=ka3
c=jb2
c=jb2=j(ka3)2=(jk2)a6
(b)
Theorem: If m and n are integers such that m|n, then m|(5n32n2+3n).
n=km
5n32n2+3n=5(km)32(km)2+3(km)=5k3m32k2m2+3km=(5k3m22k2m+3k)m
(c)
Theorem: If n is an odd integer, then 4 divides n21.
n=2k+1
n21=(2k+1)21=(4k2+4k+1)1=4(k2+k)
(d)
Theorem:The sum of the squares of any two consecutive integers is odd.
