Don’t have to prove the true statements just show an example of it working...

 

 

Let \( n \) be an integer \( 2 \leq n \leq 24 \) and let \( m \) be any integer such that \( n|m^2 \).

For which values of \( n \) is the following true: If \( n|m^2 \), then \( n|m \).

It works for \( n = 2 \) but it does not work for \( n = 4 \) since \( 4|6^2 \) but 4 does not divide 6.

Complete the following table:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
N & \text{True/False} & \text{Counter example} \\
\hline
2 & \text{True} & \\
3 & & \\
4 & \text{False} & 4|10^2 \text{ but } 4 \nmid 10 \\
5 & & \\
6 & \text{True} & \\
7 & & \\
8 & & \\
9 & & \\
10 & & \\
11 & & \\
12 & & \\
13 & & \\
14 & & \\
15 & & \\
16 & & \\
17 & & \\
18 & & \\
19 & & \\
20 & & \\
21 & & \\
22 & & \\
23 & & \\
24 & & \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

Based on your table results make a general conjecture when it is true that is: If \( n|m^2 \), then \( n|m \). That is what condition on \( n \) makes it work.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Analysis and Introduction

Given statements:

Let n be an integer in the interval 2 less or equal than n less or equal than 24.

Let m be any integer such that n vertical line m squared.

If n vertical line m squared, then n vertical line m.

To find:

The statement is true or false and give an example on it.
