    Proof Questions

    1. Disprove, by using a counterexample, that the sum of any two factors of 64 is an even number.

    2. Disprove, by using a counterexample, this statement:


    When any two numbers are multiplied, the result is larger than both of the numbers which were
    multiplied.

    3. Disprove, by using a counterexample, this statement:


    If a² = b² , then a = b

    4. Prove algebraically that (2n + 1)² − (2n + 1) is an even number for all positive integer values of n.

    5. Prove, algebraically, that the sum of two consecutive whole numbers is always odd.

    6. Prove, algebraically, that the sum of any three consecutive even numbers is always a multiple of six.

    7. Prove, algebraically, that the difference between the squares of any two consecutive integers is
    equal to the sum of those integers.

    8. Prove, algebraically, that the sum of the squares of any two consecutive whole numbers leaves a
    remainder of 1 when it is divided by four.

    9. Prove that, when two consecutive integers are multiplied together and the smaller of the two
    integers is added to this product, the result is always one less than a square number.

    10. Prove that, in the sequence 7, 12, 17, 22… the difference between any two terms is a multiple of 5.
