Expert Solution
Step 1

Since n is even and non-zero .

Since n is non zero  n is either positive or negative.

Let's write n=-1an0

where n0>0 and a=0 if n>0

and if a=+1 if n<0

a{0,1}

If n is even n0 is even n0=2k1

k1 is either even or odd.

 

Step 2

Let k1 is odd

 n=-1a2k1=-1a.2.c                             k1=c=odd     

Let k1 is even k1=2k2

If k2 is odd

n=-1a2.k1=-1a.2.2k2=-1a.22.c                                    c=k2, c=odd   

If k2 is even k2=2k3

we will continue this process, this process will end since number is finite.

Hence, here will exist a0,1, tN, cN where c is odd such that

n=-1a.2t.c 

take b=t
