**Question 3: Prove that \( n = 2^{2k+1} \), where \( k \geq 1 \), \(\Phi(n)\) is a square.**

This problem asks you to demonstrate that for the given expression \( n = 2^{2k+1} \), the Euler's totient function \(\Phi(n)\) results in a perfect square, provided that \( k \) is greater than or equal to 1.

### Solution Outline:
1. **Understand the Totient Function**: Euler's totient function \(\Phi(n)\) calculates the number of integers up to \( n \) that are relatively prime to \( n \).

2. **Apply Euler's Formula**: For \( n = 2^{2k+1} \), \(\Phi(n) = 2^{2k+1} \times (1 - \frac{1}{2}) = 2^{2k+1-1}\).

3. **Verify It's a Square**: Show that \( 2^{2k} \) results in a perfect square, being \( (2^k)^2 \).

4. **Conclude**: Since \( 2k \) is an integer, \( 2^{2k} \) is indeed a perfect square.

This solution illustrates how to apply number theory concepts to demonstrate properties of exponential functions under constraints.

Step 1

(.)   Given ,

                     n = 22k+1

(.).  Euler's  ϕ-function  ϕ(n) counts the number of positive integers less than n and                       relatively prime to n

       i.e.       ϕ(n) =  x :  1x<n and gcd(x,n) = 1
