• Prove that the square of any odd integer is odd.
An integer n is odd iff there exists an integer k such that n = 2k + 1.
Start: Suppose n is an odd integer.
n = 2r + 1 FOR SOME INTEGER r
n²= (2r + 1)²= 4r*+4r + 1 = 2(2r²+ 2r) + 1
%3D
LET S= 2r²+ 2r , s iS AN INTEGER
%3D
n°: 2s + 1 FOR SOME INTEGERS
THEREFORE, n² is ODD
End: n? is odd.

Additional Topics: Proving biconditional statements
To prove that a biconditional statement of the form p e q is true, you must prove that p → q and
q → p are both true. For example, to prove that for any integer n, n is odd if and only if n? is odd, you
must prove that (1) if n is odd, then n? is odd (see Example 2 in Lecture Slides 08), and (2) if n² is odd,
then n is odd (see Exercise 10.2.1 in Lecture Slides 10).
3.
Prove that for any positive integer n, n is even if and only if 7n + 4 is even. Indicate
which proof methods you used, as well as the assumptions (what you suppose) and the
conclusions (what you need to show) of the proof.
