Document Summary

Remember that there is not just one correct way to do a proof, and so your argument may di er from these sample solutions. Let q(a, b, c) be the following, where a, b, c are integers: If a|b and b|c, then a|(b + c). (a) (5 pts). Prove that q(a, b, c) is true for all integers a, b, c z. (b) (3 pts). Write down the converse of q(a, b, c). Write down the contrapositive of q(a, b, c). Let a, b, c be integers such that a|b and b|c. By de nition, this means there is an integer m such that b = ma and an integer n such that c = nb. Then c = nb = n(ma) = mna. Since m and n are integers, m + mn is an integer as well. By the de nition of divides, a|(b + c). (b).
