Let a, b, c E Z. Prove that if (a, b)= 1 and cl(a² + b), then (a, c) = 1.
Transcribed Image Text:Let a, b, c E Z. Prove that if (a, b)= 1 and cl(a² + b), then (a, c) = 1.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given gcd(a,b)=1 

So 1 can be expressed as linear combination of a and b 

That is 1=ax+by ............ equation ( 1)

And given c divide (a2+b) 

That is there exist an integer k such that 

a2+b =ck
