4. Let m, n E Z. Prove that if m and n are odd, then m + mn +n is odd. Use the definition of even/odd integers. 5. Suppose a, b, c, d e Z, a + b = c, and d|a. Prove that d|b if and only if d|c. 6. Suppose x is a real number for which x2 is irrational. Use a proof by contradiction to prove that x is irrational. 7. Use mathematical induction to prove that 2 + 4 + 6+ ...+ 2(n – 1) + 2n = n(n + 1) for all integers n > 1.
