These are to be written up and turned in to Gradescope.

LATEXInstructions: You can view the source ( .tex) file to get some more    

examples of LATEX code.  I have commented the source file in places where new

LATEX constructions are used.

Remember to change \showsolutionsfalse to \showsolutionstrue in the       document’s preamble (between \documentclass{article} and \begin{document})

Assigned Problems

1.

(a) Find the integral linear combination of gcd(29341, 1739)

(b)  Prove that 7 cannot be expressed as an integral linear combination of

29341 and 1739.

2.

(a) Explain why there does not exist integers a and b such that a + b = 100 and gcd(a, b) = 8?

(b) Prove that there exist infinitely many pairs of integers a and b such that a + b = 87 and gcd(a, b) = 3.

3.

(a) Let a, b, c ∈ Z such that a and b are relatively prime.  Prove that if a | c and b | c, then (ab) | c.

(b) Prove why part (a) is false if a and b are not relatively prime.

4.     Let G = (V, E) be a graph. Prove by induction:

The sum of the degrees of the vertices in G is twice the number of edges.

5.    Suppose G is a subgraph of H . Prove or disprove:

(a) α(G) ≤ α(H)

(b) ω(G) ≤ ω(H)
