Lecture 1.6 - Proof Techniques (contd.) Black Board Exercises Prove the following: If n is an integer and n2 is odd, then n is odd. If m and n are both perfect squares, then nm is also a perfect square. If n is an integer and n3 + 5 is odd, then n is even If m and n are integers, and mn is even, then m is even or n is even If n is a positive integer, then n is even if and only if 7n + 4 is even Sqrt(2) is irrational 4/14/2019 Lecture 1.6 - Proof Techniques (contd.)
