Question

show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q+1 or 4q+3 where q is some integer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

EUCLID DIVISION LEMMA

a=bq+r    r < / = 0 < b

4q is in the form of an even numbers so when one is added to a even number it becomes odd

4q = even

4q+1 = odd

4q+2 = even

4q+3 =odd hence proved

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the positive integer.

And, b = 4 .

Then by Euclid's division lemma,

We can write a = 4q + r ,for some integer q and 0 ≤ r < 4 .

°•° Then, possible values of r is 0, 1, 2, 3 .

Taking r = 0 .

a = 4q .

Taking r = 1 .

a = 4q + 1 .

Taking r = 2

a = 4q + 2 .

Taking r = 3 .

a = 4q + 3 .

But a is an odd positive integer, so a can't be 4q , or 4q + 2 [ As these are even ] .

•°• a can be of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3 for some integer q .

Hence , it is solved .
