Question 108
i.

A digital signal processor generates a sequence of values based on prime numbers. Prove that for all prime numbers, ppp, such that 5≤p≤135 \le p \le 135≤p≤13,

p2−1 is a multiple of 24 p^2 - 1 \text{ is a multiple of } 24 p2−1 is a multiple of 24
[3]
ii.

Use proof by contradiction to show that for any positive integer nnn,

n2+2 is not a multiple of 4 n^2 + 2 \text{ is not a multiple of } 4 n2+2 is not a multiple of 4
