How is it that 3 is the only prime that is before a square number?

Take any positive integer n. If you square it, and subtract 1, you get (x squared - 1). If you take (n - 1) and (n + 1), and multiply them together, you get n squared - n + n - 1, which is the same as (n squared - 1).

Prove the lemma for each integer n 3 divides n if and only if 3 divides n squared?

This is an immediate consequence of the Fundemental Theorem of Arithmetic. The "only if" part of the assertion is trivial because if n = 3k then n squared = 3(3k^2). If we know that every number can be written as the product of primes in exactly one way, then it follows that p is in the prime factorization of AB only if p is in the prime factorization of A or p is in the prime factorization of B. Take p = 3 and A = B = n, and that proves the theorem. The Fundemental Theorem is really not necessary in proving this assertion; an alternate proof using "enumeration of cases" is possible. If 3 does not divide n then n is of the form 3k+1 or 3k+2 for some integer k. It is easy to check that (3k+1)^2 and (3k+2)^2 are both not divisible by 3.

A number that divides n is called a "divisor" of n.


What are the multiples of n 2?

If that's n squared, the multiples are n squared, 2 n squared, 3 n squared and so on. If that's n + 2, the multiples are n + 2, 2n + 4, 3n + 6 and so on.

It means N times N. 3 squared is 9.


How do you mathematically express x equals n squared where it repeats until n equals 0 eg for n equals 4 x equals n squared plus n-1 squared plus n-2 squared plus n-3 squared?

Simple equation lad. In your example, you said n=4 and x= n squared + n - 1 + (n-2)squared + (n-3)squared. You simply write n²+n-1+(n-2)²+(n-3)² I hope that is what you mean by what you say. P.S. To get the to the power of sign, hold alt and press 0178 for ², and 0179 for ³


If n is any prime no.and a2 is divisible by n then n will also divide a justify?

If n is any prime number and a² is divisible by n, then n will also divide a. Consider that 'n' exists as a prime number. If n divides a² then n also divides a. Let, n = 3 and a = 9 a² = 9² a² = 81 Here , 81/3 = 27 n divides a² Now, 9/3 = 3 Here, n also divides a.
