    1) The document contains a mathematics problem set asking students to prove 6 statements about numbers and their properties using multiple methods where possible. 2) The statements include proving that n^2 + n + 1 is always odd, that every odd number greater than 5 can be written as the sum of 3 primes, and that the sum of a rational and irrational number is irrational. 3) Students are also asked to prove properties about the sum of integers over r from 1 to n, that at least one number in the set {n, n+2, n+4} is divisible by 3, and that a-b is a factor of a^n - b^n.

    Prove the following statements. Try to prove in as many different methods as


    possible. (Assume n ≥ 1, n ∈ N unless specified otherwise)

    1. n2 + n + 1 is odd for all n.

    2. If every natural number greater than 2 is a sum of two primes, then every odd
    natural number greater than 5 is a sum of three primes.
    n

    3. r2 = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
    r=1
    6

    4. At least one of the integers n, n + 2, n + 4 is divisible by 3.

    5. Sum of a rational and an irrational number is irrational.

    6. Prove a − b is a factor of an − bn , for all n.
