Chapter 1.6, Problem 1E

Prove that
(a) there exist integers m and n such that 2 m + 7 n = 1 .
(b) there exist integers m and n such that 15 m + 12 n = 3 .
(c) there do not exist integers m and n such that 2 m + 4 n = 7 .
(d) there do not exist integers m and n such that 12 m + 15 n = 1 .
(e) for every integer t, if there exist integers m and n such that 15 m + 16 n = t ,then there exist integers r and s such that 3 r + 8 s = t .
(f )if there exist integers m and n such that 12 m + 15 n = 1 , then m and n are both positive.
(g) for every odd integer m, if m has the form 4 k + 1 for some integer k, then m + 2 has the form 4 j 1 for some integer j.
(h) for every integer m, if m is odd, then m 2 = 8 k + 1 for some integer k.
(i) for all odd integers m and n, if m n = 4 k 1 for some integer k, then m or n is of the form 4 j 1 for some integer j.
