1. A set of integers are relatively prime to each other if there is no integer greater than 1 that divides all the elements. Furthermore, in Number Theory, it is known that the Euler function, ϕ (n), expresses the number of positive integers less than n that are relatively prime with n. Choose the alternative that has the correct value of ϕ(n) for every n below. A) ϕ(5) = 4 B) ϕ(6) = 2 C) ϕ(10) = 3 D) ϕ(14) = 6 E) ϕ(17) = 16

For any integer k greater than or equal to 2, define R(k) as the ratio of k 's largest positive prime divisor to its smallest positive prime divisor. For instance, R(14) = ½, R(15) = 3, R(30) = ½, and R(9) = 3 = 1. Note that R(k) = 1 if k is a prime number or any power of a prime. Additionally, R(1) is defined as 1. Prove or disprove these statements: (a) For every natural number x, there is a natural number y such that the ratio R(y) is at least x. (b) There is a natural number y such that for every natural number x, the ratio R(y) is at least x.
Prove: C(n,k) = C(n-1,k-1)+C(n-1,k) for natural numbers k with 0<k<n.
In “Elementary Number Theory & It’s Applications” by Kenneth H. Rosen, the following is defined: The greatest integer in a real number x, denoted [x], is the largest integer less than or equal to x. That is [x] is an integer satisfying: [x] ≤ x < [x]+1 I want to use this def. to answer the following: Chapter 1.1 exercise 11: What is the value of [x]+[-x], where x is a real number?
