### Problems 7.2

1. **Calculate**  
   - \(\phi(1001)\), \(\phi(5040)\), and \(\phi(36,000)\).

2. **Verify**  
   - Show that the equality \(\phi(n) = \phi(n+1) = \phi(n+2)\) holds when \(n = 5186\).

3. **Simultaneous Integer Properties**  
   - Show that the integers \(n = 3^k \cdot 568\) and \(n = 3^k \cdot 638\), where \(k \geq 0\), satisfy simultaneously:
     \[ \tau(m) = \tau(n), \quad \sigma(m) = \sigma(n), \quad \text{and} \quad \phi(m) = \phi(n) \]

4. **Establish Assertions**  
   - (a) If \(n\) is an odd integer, then \(\phi(2n) = \phi(n)\).
   - (b) If \(n\) is an even integer, then \(\phi(2n) = 2\phi(n)\).
   - (c) \(\phi(3n) = 3\phi(n)\) if and only if \(3 \mid n\).
   - (d) \(\phi(3n) = 2\phi(n)\) if and only if \(3 \nmid n\).
   - (e) \(\phi(n) = n/2\) if and only if \(n = 2^k\) for some \(k \geq 1\).  
     *[Hint: Write \(n = 2^k N\), where \(N\) is odd, and use the condition \(\phi(n) = n/2\) to show that \(N = 1\).]*

5. **Equation Proof**  
   - Prove that the equation \(\phi(n) = \phi(n+2)\) is satisfied by \(n = 2(2p - 1)\) whenever \(p\) and \(2p - 1\) are both odd primes.

6. **Perfect Square Investigation**  
   - Show that there are infinitely many integers \(n\) for which \(\phi(n)\) is a
