Question
I am struggling with question 2 and 3.

Transcribed Image Text:1. Use induction to prove that, for all n € Z+,
(i) 6 (n³ - n)
(ii) 2+5+8+·
+ (3n-1) = n(3n+1)/2
=
2. Suppose that an is defined by setting a₁ = -2, a₂ = 0, and an 4an-1-4an-2,
where n ≥ 3. Using strong induction, prove that an = 2" (n − 2) for all n € Z+.

3. Let a be a positive integer. Evaluate the following:
(i) ged(a, a²)
(ii) ged(a, a²+1)
(iii) ged(a, a+2) (Hint: consider two cases: when a is even and when a is odd)
You do not need to use the Euclidean Algorithm to answer this question.
