PREFACE
Supplements mathematics is designed for use in a mathe-
matics course for students in terminal mathayom of Thailand
In writing the text, we were guided by two primary objectives
that have crystallized over many years of teaching mathema-
tics and tried to append the proof of properties, theorem and
involved problems. For the student, our objective was to wri-
te in a precise, readable manner and to clearly define and d-
emonstrate the basic concepts of mathematics. For instruct-
or and interested persons, our objective was to design a co-
mprehensive teaching instrument that uses proven pedago-
gical techniques, thus freeing the instructor to make the mo-
st efficient use of classroom time.
Lastly, have to thank all my teachers, professors, workmate
and students that make this text be successful and furtherm-
ore, the goodness of this assign and refer to my father and -
mother which dont lie.
You are what you had been educated and have been
going on by oneself.
Wish well for all

LESSON ONE
BASIC LOGIC
1.1 The mathematics system
Mathematics system consist of undefined term, defined term, postulate, conjecture
and theorem which each step has to create by the process of logic, moreover when we
discover that those conjecture is to be true has to prove by proceeding of logic.
The following is principle knowledge about logic.
1.2 Proposition or statement
Proposition signify the sentences or the expressions that is to be true or false only one,
Where true and false of proposition is called that truth value of each proposition
For example =3 is proposition having truth value is to be true
Proof by the fact, each proposition has number of truth value equal to 2=
And according to principle law of counting for multiplication
We have

1 Connection of proposition by connectives and ()
Definition1 Let p and q are two propositions
Proposition p and q is written by pq, where there exists agreement that pq
Will be true in the case that two propositions have truth value is to be true together.
Truth table of pq can make as follows. (1
st
table)
p q pq
T T T
T F F
F T F
F F F
2 Connection of proposition by connectives or ()
Definition2 Let p and q are two propositions
Proposition p or q is written by pq, where there exists agreement that pq will be
false in the case that two propositions have truth value is to be false simultaneous. .
Truth table of pq can make as follows. (2

table)
p q pq
T T T
T F T
F T T
F F F
3 Connection of proposition by connectives if...then... ()
Definition3 Let p and q are two propositions
Proposition if p then q is written by pq, where there exists agreement that pq will
be false in the case that p and q have truth value is to be true and false respectively.
Truth table of pq can make as follows. (3

table)
p q pq
T T T
T F F
F T T
F F T
4 Connection of proposition by connectives ...if and only if... ()
Definition4 Let p and q are two propositions
Proposition p if and only if q is written by pq, where there exists agreement that
pq will be true in the cases that p and q have same truth value
Truth table of pq can make as follows. (4
th
table)
p q pq
T T T
T F F
F T F
F F T
5 Negation of all propositions ()
Definition5 Let p is proposition
Negation of p is written by p, where there exists agreement that p has truth value
Opposite to p. Truth table of negation as follows. (5
th
table)
p p
T F
F T
Remark: 1 Propositions p, q, r,... are called atomic proposition
2 Propositions having connectives are called proposition pattern.
1.4 Finding truth value of propositions
When we know truth value of each atomic proposition in proposition pattern, we can find
Truth value of proposition by truth value of each table above
Example1 1 Let p(F), q(T) and r(F) Find truth value of [(pr)(rq)][(pr)(qp)]
2 Let [(pq) r](F), Find truth value of [(qr)(pr)][(pr (qp)]
Solution 1we have [(p(F)r(F))(r(F)q(T))][(p(F)r(F))(q(T)p(F)]
Therefore, [(pr)(rq)] are to be true and [(pr)(qp)] are to be false
That is, [(pr)(rq)][(pr)(qp)] has truth value is to be false.
2 Since [(pq) r](F) so, (pq)(T) and r(F)
And make p(T), q(T), r(T) and then p(T), q(F) and r(T)
We have [(q(T)r(T))(p(T)r(F))][(p(T)r(T)) (q(F)p(T))] implies
that [(qr)(pr)] and [(pr (qp)] are to be true and false respectively.
Therefore, [(qr)(pr)][(pr (qp)] has truth value is to be false.
1.5 Making truth table of propositions
Let A instead of a designated proposition pattern, B is a number of atomic proposition in
A
C is a number of propositions pattern in A will obtain that truth table of A consist of
a number of rows are equal to
+1=9
2 we are obvious that there are propositions pattern equal to 9
So, there are number of columns equal to 9+3=12
Truth table of [(p r)(qp)][(pq)(rq)], (6
th
table)
1.6 Pattern of propositions that are logically equivalent
Definition6 Let A and B are propositions pattern
A and B are logically equivalent each other if and only if A and B have same truth value
Case by case and when A equivalent with B is written by AB
Remark: A and B are logically equivalent if and only if A and B can be substituted
1.7 Negation of propositions and propositions pattern
The following will say to negation of pq, pq, pq and pq which be written by
(pq), (pq), (pq) and (pq) by truth table as follows. (7

table), (8
th
table)
p q r p

From 7
th
table and 8
th
table we can conclude that
1 pq, (pq) are negation each other while (pq)pq
2 pq, (pq) are negation each other while (pq)pq
3 pq, (pq) are negation each other while (pq)pq
4 pq, (pq) are negation each other while (pq)pq pq
Remark: Double negation of A is (A); A (A), when A is propositions
The logically equivalent pattern that is important; p, q and r are propositions.

From 9

From 10

The following will test that each of pair of propositions pattern are logically equivalent
By propositions pattern that are logical equivalent above.
pq ((pq)): (p)p
(pq): (pq)pq
p(q): (pq)pq
pq , So pq pq
(q)p: pqqp
q p, So pq q p

(pq)r (pq)r(pq)r(pr)(qr)(pr)(qr)
(pq)r (pq)r(pq)(rr)(pr)(qr)(pr)(qr)
p(qr)p[(qr)(rq)]p[(qr)(rq)][p(qr)][p(rq)]
[(pq)r][(pr)q][[(pp)(pq)]r][[(pp)(pr)]q]
[(pq)p]r][(pr)p]q][(pq)(pr)][(pr)(pq)](pq)(pr)
Finally, we can conclude that
1 p(qr)(pq)rq(pr) 2 p(qr)(pq)(pr)
3 p(qr)(pq)(pr) 4 (pq)(pr)p(qr)
5 (pq)r(pr)(qr) 6 (pq)r(pr)(qr)
7 p(qr)(pq)(pr)
1.8 Tautology
Definition7 Tautology signifies propositions pattern with truth value is to be true all
cases.
For example pp, pp
Remark: AB if and only if AB is tautology.
The following will test whether designated propositions are tautology.
1 when designated propositions have main connectives is to be (), we can test by
showing that two sides of () are logically equivalent each other.
Example3 Show that the following propositions pattern are to be tautology.
1 [(pq)(pq)] p 2 [(pq)r][(qr)(pr)] 3 [p(q(pr)][p(qr)]
Solution 1 [(pq)(pq)] p
Consider [(pq)(pq)][(pq)(pq)][(pq)(pq)][(pq)(pq)]
[(pp)(qq)]p p
So, [(pq)(pq)] p
2 [(pq)r][(qr)(pr)]
Consider [(pq)r][(pq)r][(pq)r][(pq)(qr)][(qr)(pq)]
[(qr)(pr)]
So, [(pq)r][(qr)(pr)]
3 [p(q(pr)][p(qr)]
Consider
[p(q(pr)][p(q(pr))][p(q(pr))][p[(qp)(qr)]]
[(p(qp))(p(qr))][((pp)q)(p(qr))]
[( q)( p(qr))] [(p(qr)]p(qr)
So, [p(q(pr)][p(qr)]
2 When designated propositions have main connectives is to be (), we can test by
assumption is to be false then find the contradiction or show that is equivalent with
Example 4 Show that the following propositions pattern are to be tautology.
1 p(pq) 2 (pq)p 3 [(pq)(qr)p]r 4 [(p(qr))q](pr)
5 [p(qr)][(pq)(pr)] 6 [p(qr)][(pq)(pr)]
7 [((pq)r)(qr)](pr) 8 [((pq)(qr))r](pq)
9 [((pq)r)(pq)(pr)]r 10 [p(qq)]p
Solution 1 [p(pq)](F)p(T)(pq)(F)p(F)q(F) arise the contradiction
Or p(pq)p(pq)(pp)q q
Therefore, p(pq) is tautology.
2 (pq)p arise the contradiction (p(F),(T)) is simultaneously.
T-(T)-T-(F)-F
Therefore, (pq)p is tautology.
3 [(pq)(qr)p]R arise the contradiction (p(F),(T)) is simultaneously
F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-T-(F)-F
4 [(p(qr))q](pr) arise the contradiction (q(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
T-(T)-T-(T)-F-(T)--T---(F)-F-(F)-F
Therefore, [(p(qr))q](pr) is tautology.
5 [p(qr)][(pq)(pr)] arise the contradiction (q(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
F-(T)-F-(T)-F--(F)--F-(T)-T-(F)-F-(F)-F
6 [p(qr)][(pq)(pr)] arise the contradiction (q(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
T-(T)-F-(T)-F--(F)-T-(T)-T-(F)-T-(F)-F
Therefore, [p(qr)][(pq)(pr)] is tautology.
7 [((pq)r)(qr)](pr) arise the contradiction (p(F),(T)) is simultaneously.
F-(F)-F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(F)-T-(F)-F
Therefore, [((pq)r)(qr)](pr) is tautology.
8 [((pq)(qr))r](pq), (q(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
F-(F)-F-(T)-T-(F)-F--(T)-T- (F)-F-(F)--F
Therefore, [((pq)(qr))r](pq) is tautology.
9 [((pq)r)(pq)(pr)]r, (q(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
F-(F)-F-(T)-F-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-F-(T)-F-(F)-F
Therefore, [((pq)r)(pq)(pr)]r is tautology.
10 [p(qq)]p(p(qq))pp p
Therefore, [p(qq)]p is tautology

1.9 Reasoning
Reasoning is the adducing when there is one set of expression is {
} then
can conclude one expression is C, where
...
]C
If this pattern is tautology mean to be valid and if it isnt tautology mean to be invalid.
Example 5 Consider that the following reasoning are valid or invalid.
1 Cause: 1 p(pq) 2 Cause: 1 pr 3 s 3 Cause: 1 pq 3 ps
2 pq 2 rs 2 pr
Result: q Result: p Result: r
4 Cause: 1 p q 3 q 5 Cause: 1 r p 3 rs 6 Cause: 1 pq 3 pr

7 Cause: 1 p(qr) 3 pq 8 Cause: 1 pq 3 q 9 Cause: 1 rq 3 pr
2 s(tu) 4 st 2 r p 2 s q
Result: ru Result: r Result: ps
Solution 1 Cause: 1 p(pq)
2 pq
Result: q
We can make and test as follows. [(p(pq))(pq)]q
T-(T)-F-(F)-T-(T)-F-(T)-F-(F)--F
It arise the contradiction, (p(F),(T)) is simultaneously.
Therefore, [(p(pq))(pq)]q is tautology and then is valid.
2 Cause: 1 pr 3 s
2 rs
Result: p
We can make and test as follows. [(pr)(rs)s]p
T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-F-(T)-T-(F)-F
It arise the contradiction, (r(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
Therefore, [(pr)(rs)s]p is tautology and then is valid
3 Cause: 1 pq 3 p r
2 pr
Result: r
We can make and test as follows. [(pq)(pr)(p r)]r
F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-T-(T)--T-(F)-F
It arise the contradiction, (p(F),(T)) is simultaneously.
Therefore,[(pq)(pr)(p r)]r is tautology and then is valid.
4 Cause: 1 p q 3 q
2 rp 4 rt
Result: t
From the designated items, we can make pattern and test as follows.
[(p q)(rp)q(rt)]t
T-(T)-T-(T)-F-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-F-(T)-F-(F)-F
It arise the contradiction, (q(T),(F) is simultaneously.
Therefore, [(p q)(rp)q(rt)]t is tautology and then is valid.
5 Cause: 1 r p 3 rs
2 q 4 pq
Result: s
From the designated items, we can make pattern and test as follows.
[(r p) q(rs)(pq)]s
T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-T-(F)-F
It arise the contradiction, (q(T),(F) is simultaneously.
Therefore, [(r p) q(rs)(pq)]s is tautology and then is valid.
6 Cause: 1 pq 3 (pr)
2 (pq)r 4 p
Result: p
From designated items, we can make pattern and test as follows.
[(pq)((pq)r) (pr)p] p
T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-- F-(T)--T-(T)-T-(F)--F
It arise the contradiction, (r(T),(F)) is simultaneously.
Therefore, [(pq)((pq)r) (pr)p] p is tautology and then is valid.
7 Cause: 1 p(qr) 3 pq
2 s(tu) 4 st
Result: ru
From designated items, we have the pattern
[(p(qr))(s(tu))(pq)(st)](ru)
And can test as follows.
[(p(qr))(s(tu))(pq)(st)](ru)
T-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-T(T)-T-(T)-T-(T)-T-(F)-F-(F)-T
We see obviously that (q(T),(F) is to be true and false are simultaneously.
So, [(p(qr))(s(tu))(pq)(st)](ru) is tautology and then is valid.
8 Cause: 1 pq 3 q
2 r p
Result: r
Consider the following pattern [(pq)(r p)q]r
T-(T)--F-(T)-F-(T)-F-(T)-T-(F)-F
We see obviously that there is not the contradiction
Hence, it is not tautology and then is invalid.
9 Cause: 1 rq 3 pr
2 s q
Result: ps
Consider the following [(rq)( s q)( pr)](ps)
F-(T)-F-(T)--T--(T)--T--(T)---F--(T)-F--(F)-T--(F)-F
We see obviously that there is not the contradiction
Hence, it is not tautology and then is invalid.
1.10 Open sentence and Quantifier
Definition 8 Open sentence is affirmative sentence or Negative sentence having
variables.
And when represent variable with elements in Universal set then obtain a proposition.
Example 6 2x-3<5 is affirmative sentence having x is variable and when x=2 then is
proposition
y- 5 is negative sentence having x is variable and when x=4 then is a
proposition
We conclude that 2x-3<5, y- 5 are propositions having x and y are
variables.
For convenience, we let p(x), q(x), or
For some x, -x>
=2], =
7 For all real number are rational number or irrational number is written
By x[x x
], =
Example 8 Let A and B instead of sets, write symbol substitute the following
Expressions..
1 A is subset of B if and only if all elements of A are an element of B is
denoted by AB x[xAxB]
2 A isnt subset of B if and only if there exists some element of A isnt
an element of B is denoted by AB x[xAxB]
3 A is equal to B if and only if all elements of A are an element of B if and
only if all elements of B is an element of A is denoted by
A=B X[XAxB]
4 Difference of A and B is a set of all element that are in A and arent in B
Is denoted by A-B={|[ ]}
In the case open sentence have two variables, we let p(x, y), q(x, y),... instead of
those open sentences.
Conclusion: When p(x, y): open sentence
1 The expression for all x and for all y, p(x, y) is denoted by xy[p(x, y)]
2 The expression for all x, there exists some y which be p(x, y) is denotes
by xy[p(x,y)]
3 The expression there exists some x which be for all y, p(x, y) is denoted
by xy[p(x,y)]
4 The expression There exists some x and some y which be p(x, y) is denoted
by xy[p(x,y)]
5 Remark: we can use yx[p(x, y)], yx[p(x, y)], yx[p(x, y)] and yx[p(x, y)],
where xy[p(x, y)] yx[p(x, y)] have different meaning.
xy[p(x, y)], yx[p(x, y)] have different meaning.
xy[p(x, y)], yx[p(x, y)] have same meaning.
xy[p(x, y)] and xy[p(x, y)] have same meaning.
Example 9 Write the expression replaces the following symbol sentences, =
1 xy[
-xy+
-xy+
0
2 xy[x-y=x] is written by for all x, there exists some y which be x-y=x
3 xy[x-y=0] is written by there exists some x which be for all y, x-y=0
4 xy[+=] is written by There exists some x and some y which be
+=
5 yx[
-xy+
-xy+
0
6 yx[x-y=x] is written by for all y, there exists some x which be x-y=x
7 yx[x-y=0] is written by there exists some y which be for all x, x-y=0
8 yx[+=] is written by There exists some y and some x which be
+=
1.12 Truth value of propositions with one quantifier
Definition10 Let x[p(x)], x[p(x) are propositions and is Universal set will obtain that
1 x[p(x)] has truth value is to be true if and only if p(a) is to be true
For all elements a in
2 x[p(x)] has truth value is to be false if and only if there exists some element
b in such that P(b) is to be false.
3 x[p(x)] has truth value is to be true if and only if there exists some element
a in such that P(a) is to be true.
4 x[p(x)] has truth value is to be false if and only if there dont exists element
b in such that p(b) is to be true
Example10 Find truth value of each of the following propositions
1 x[
=x+1], ={-1, 0, 1}
3 x[
-x
], = 4 x[||<x], =
5 x[
0x+11] = 6 x[
0] x[x+11] =
7 x[(
=1
=1], = 8 x[(
=1] x[
=1], =
Solution 1 x[
+1=1-x
We find that p(1):
+1=1-1 is to be false
So, x[
=x+1
We see that p(0): (
=0+1 is to be true.
So, x[(
-x-
], =, Let p(x):
-x-
Rearrange term
-x=(
We see that p(a):
-a-
-x-
0x+11
Since,
0x+11x+1=1
=0
And x=0, 0+1=1
0, q(x): x+11
We see that p(0):
=1
=1
=1
Since, solution of (
=1 is 0, 2 and solution of
=1 is 1
We see that p(a): (
=1
=1
=1] x[
=1, q(x):
=1
We see that p(0): (
=1 is to be true., q(1):
=1 is to be true.
Finally we have x[(
=1] x[
>x+y considering
p(-1, -1): ( (
>-1+0
p(-1, 1): (
>-1+1 p(0,-1): ( (
>0+(-1)
p(0, 0): (
>0+1
p(1, -1): ( (
>1+0
p(1, 1): (
>1+1
We find that p(0, 0), p(0, 1), p(1, 0) and p(1, 1) are to be false
Therefore, xy[(
=(
], =-{0}
Solution 1 xy[x+y=1
>2
We find that p(-1, 2) and p(2, -1): -1+2=2+(-1)=1 (
+(
>2
are to be true
So, xy[x+y=1
,n
Hence, there exists a, b such that p(a, b) is to be true.
Therefore, xy[(x+y)(x-y) are perfect square] = has truth value is to be true.
3 xy[x+y=xy], ={-1, 0, 1}, Let p(x, y): x+y=xy will get that
p(-1, -1): -1+(-1)=(-1)(-1) p(-1, 0): -1+0=(-1)(0) p(-1, 1): -1+1=(-1)(1)
p(0, -1): 0+(-1)=(0)(-1) p(0, 0): 0+0=(0)(0) p(0, 1): 0+1=(0)(1)
p(1, -1): 1+(-1)=(1)(-1) p(1, 0): 1+0=(1)(0) p(1, 1): 1+1=(1)(1)
We see that there exists a=0 and b=0 such that p(a, b) is to be true.
Therefore xy[x+y=xy], ={-1, 0, 1} has truth value is to be true
4 xy[
=(
=(
Since,
=(
+2xy
So, 2xy=0xy=0x=0y=0, but 0
Hence, there doesnt exist a, b in such that p(a, b) is to be true.
Therefore, xy[
=(
-x=
>1], =
Solution 1 xy[x+1=| |, ={-1, 0, 1}, Let p(x, y): x+1=| | will get that
p(-1, 1): -1+1=| | p(0, 1): 0+1=| | p(1, 0): 1+0=| |
We see that y[p(a,y)] is to be true for all elements a in
Thence, xy[x+1=| |], ={-1, 0, 1} has truth value is to be true.
2 xy[||+1=| |], =, Let p(x, y): ||+1=| |
Since, | |=||+1=| | and then x+1=x-y or x+1=-(x-y)=-x+y
Now, we have y=-1 or y=2x+1 when x-1 or x<-1 respectively.
We see that y[p(a,y)] is to be true for all elements a in
Thence, xy[||+1=| |], = has truth value is to be true.
3 xy[
-x=

We see that y[p(a, y)] is to be true for all elements a in
Thence, xy[

If we choose x=0 will get
>1 is to be false
So, y[

We find that there doesnt exist some b such that y[b-

If we choose x=1 will obtain p(1, y):

So, y[

Which propositions will be equivalent with the following expression?
There isnt rational N. which is the power of two equal to 2
1 x[q(x) p(x)] 2 x[p(x) q(x)]
Solution There is rational N. which is the power of two equal to 2
is written by x[p(x)q(x)]
So, there isnt rational N. which is the power of two equal to 2 is written by
x[p(x)q(x)] x[p(x)q(x)] x[q(x) p(x)] x[p(x) q(x)]
The answer is 1 and 2

Type: it lies in propositions pattern that are tautology.
Let p(x), q(x) ad r(x) are open sentences and is universal set.

Type: by considering according to truth value of Connectives and quantifiers
1 x[p(x)]p(k), k 2 p(k) x[p(x)], k
3 x[p(x)] x[p(x)] 4 x[p(x)q(x)] x[p(x)] x[q(x)]
5 x[p(x)q(x)](x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) 6 (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)]
7 (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)] 8 (x[p(x)q(x)])(x[p(x)] [(])
Proof 1 x[p(x)]p(k), k
Assume that x[p(x)] has truth value is to be true.
So, p(a) is to be true all elements a in
And since, k will obtain that p(k) is to be true.
Now, we get x[p(x)]p(k), k has truth value is to be true.
And if x[p(x)] has truth value is to be false.
We knew that x[p(x)]p(k), k has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, x[p(x)]p(k), k is tautology.
2 p(k) x[p(x)], k
Assume that p(k) is to be true.
By definition of x[p(x)] will find that x[p(x)] has truth value is to be true.
So, p(k) x[p(x)], k has truth value is to be true.
And if p(k) is to be false
We knew from truth value of that p(k) x[p(x)], k has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, p(k) x[p(x)], k is tautology.
3 x[p(x)] x[p(x)]
Since, ((pq)(qr))(pr) is tautology.
From 1 and 2 we can conclude that x[p(x)] x[p(x)] has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, x[p(x)] x[p(x)] is tautology.
4 x[p(x)q(x)] x[p(x)] x[q(x)]
Assume that x[p(x)q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
So, there exists k such that p(k)q(k) is to be true
And it make p(k) is to be true and q(k) is to be true.
Implies that x[p(x)] and x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
That is x[p(x)q(x)] x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
And if x[p(x)q(x)] has truth value is to be false.
Be obvious that x[p(x)q(x)] x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, x[p(x)q(x)] x[p(x)] x[q(x)] is tautology.
5 x[p(x)q(x)](x[p(x)] x[q(x)])
Assume that x[p(x)q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
So, there exists k such that p(k)q(k) is to be true.
We can write p(k) is to be true or q(k) is to be true.
Implies that x[p(x)] or x[q(x)] have truth value is to be true.
That is x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
And if x[p(x)q(x)] has truth value is to be false.
We see that p(k)q(k) is to be false for all k
And we can write p(k) is to be false or q(k) is to be false for all k
Now, we have x[p(x)] has truth value is to be false or x[q(x)] has truth value is to
be false.
Finally, x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be false.
Therefore, x[p(x)q(x)](x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) has truth value is to be true.
We can conclude that x[p(x)q(x)](x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) is tautology.
6 (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)]
Assume that x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
In this case, x[p(x)] and x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
Require to write p(k) and q(k) are to be true for all k
Afterwards, p(k)q(k) is to be true for all k
That is [( q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
And if x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be false.
If we let x[p(x)] has truth value is to be false.
So, there exists k such that p(k) is to be false
And we have p(k)q(k) is to be false
That is [( q(x)] has truth value is to be false.
And if x[q(x)] has truth value is to be false. We can show similarly
Therefore, (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
We can conclude that (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)] is tautology.
7 (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)]
Assume that x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true, where
x[p(x)] has truth value is to be true.
Thus will get p(k) is to be true for all k
Implies that p(k)q(k) is to be true for all k
And then we have [( q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
For a case x[q(x)] has truth value is to be true can show similarly.
And when x[p(x)] x[q(x)] has truth value is to be false
Be sure, (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
Finally, we can conclude that (x[p(x)] x[q(x)]) [( q(x)] is tautology.
8 (x[p(x)q(x)])(x[p(x)] [(])
Assume that x[p(x)q(x)] has truth value is to be true.
We see that p(x)q(x) has truth value is to be true for all elements in .
Implies that p(k)q(k) are to be true for all k
In a case p(k) and q(k) are to be true for all k
Be sure, x[p(x)] and [(] has truth value is to be true.
It make x[p(x)] [(] has truth value is to be true.
Hence, (x[p(x)q(x)])(x[p(x)] [(]) has truth value is to be true.
And in a case p(k) is to be false for some k
We find that x[p(x)] has truth value is to be false.
And then x[p(x)] [(] has truth value is to be true.
So, (x[p(x)q(x)])(x[p(x)] [(]) has truth value is to be true.
And if x[p(x)q(x)] has truth value is to be false.
We see that (x[p(x)q(x)])(x[p(x)] [(]) has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, we can conclude that (x[p(x)q(x)])(x[p(x)] [(]) is tautology.
1.17 Tautology of propositions pattern having two quantifiers
Let p(x,y): open sentence and : universal set
1 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] 2 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)]
3 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] 4 yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
5 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] 6 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
7 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] 8 yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
Remark: The converse of 3-8 isnt tautology, that is to say.
1 yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] 2 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)]
3 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] 4 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
5 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] 6 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
Proof 1 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)]
Consider xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true if and only if
p(a,b) is to be true for all elements a and b in if and only if p(a,b) is to be true
all elements b and a in if and only if yx[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true.
And xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be false if and only if there exists elements
a and b in such that p(a,b) is to be false if and only if there exists elements b
and a such that p(a,b)is to be false if and only if yx[p(x,y)] has truth value
is to be false
Thence, xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true
Therefore, xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] is tautology.
2 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)]
Consider xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true if and only if there exists
Elements a and b in such that p(a,b) is to be true if and only if there exists
Elements b and a in such that p(a,b) is to be true if and only if yx[p(x,y)]
Has truth value is to be true.
And xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be false if and only if there doesnt exist
Elements a and b in such that p(a,b) is to be false if and only if there doesnt
Elements b and a in such that p(a,b) is to be false if and only if yx[p(x,y)]
has truth value is to be false.
Hence, xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] is tautology.
3 xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)]
Let G(y) instead of x[p(x,y)]
So, yx[p(x,y)] and yx[p(x,y)] are represented by y[G(y)] and y[G(y)]
respectively.
And since y[G(y)] y[G(y)] is tautology.
Now, we have yx[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] is tautology.
But xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] is tautology
Thus, xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)]
Finally will get xy[p(x,y)] yx[p(x,y)] is tautology.
4 yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
Consider yx[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true if and only if there exists some
Element b in such that x[p(x,b)] has truth value is to be true.
And x[p(x,b)] has truth value is to be true if and only if p(a,b) is to be true for all
elements a in
And if p(a,b) is to be true for all elements a in then y[p(a,y)] has truth value is
to be true for all elements a in if and only if xy[p(x,y)] has truth value
is to be true.
So, yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true.
And if yx[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be false.
We see that yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, yx[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] is tautology.
5 xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)]
Consider xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true if and only if for all elements
a in
y[p(a,y)] has truth value is to be true if and only if there exists some element
b in such that p(a,b) is to be true.
And if p(a,b) is to be true for some element b in then it make x[p(x,b)] has truth
value is to be true for some element b in then it make yx[p(x,b)] has truth
value Is to be true.
So, xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true.
And if xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be false then will obtain that
xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] has truth value is to be true.
Therefore, xy[p(x,y)] xy[p(x,y)] is tautology.
(OR) Let y[p(x,y)] is substituted by G(x)
So, xy[p(x,y)]and xy[p(x,y)] are substituted by x[G(x)] and x[G(x)]
respectively.
And since x[G(x)] x[G(x)] is tautology.
Therefore, xy[p(x,)] xy[p(x,y)] is tautology.

Lesson Two
Real numbers system
2.1 Introduction
Nowadays, in mathematics the numbers are rearranged in pattern of set having
elements are numbers which there are same property.
Beginning from set of natural number, counting number or positive integer which
are discovered firstly. But afterward the natural numbers couldnt solve the problem
of human so the human made new number consecutive for solving those problem by
the natural numbers were bases and operation +, - and as follows.
1 Counting number or natural number
={1, 2, 3, 4, 5,...}
2 Zero number
={0}
3 Negative integers
}
We see distinct that all integers are the rational numbers as a=
, a
6 Irrational numbers
={|
}
7 Real numbers
=
={ }
2.2 Real numbers system consist of set relation equality, inequality operation +, -,
and
1) Equality in real numbers system
Let a, b, c
: Reflexive property
If a then a=a
: Symmetric property

-5
-16x+80=0
Solution 1
+4x+3=(x+1)(x+3)=0
So, (x+1)=0 or (x+3)=0: theorem10
That is, x=-1 or x=-3
Therefore, the solution is {-3, -1}

So, x-5=0, x-4=0, x+4=0
That is, x=-4, x=4, x=5
Therefore, the solution is {-4, 4, 5}
From the bygone example we find that the solving equation has to use the factorization
and the theorem having so helpful in this section is the remainder theorem.
Solving the polynomial equations by the remainder theorem
The remainder theorem makes to be capable finding a remainder from dividing
The designated polynomial by the polynomial with degree is to be 1 as follows.
Consider the following long division
+4x-6 3
-3x-9
x-3
-18x+18 x+1 3
-12x+15

-12x
4
-12x -3
-3x
-6x+18 -9x+15
-6x+18 -9x - 9
0 + 0 +24
We say that
-12x+15 is no divisible
by x+1
And
-18x+18=(x-3)(
+4x-6) and 3
-12x+15=(x+1)( 3
-3x-9)+24
3 Division algorithm
We will lead its result use in the remainder theorem
Theorem 22 If p(x) and q(x) are polynomials, where q(x)0 then there exists polynomial
s(x) and r(x) only one pair such that p(x)=q(x)s(x)+r(x),where degree of r(x) is less than
q(x)
Proof by well ordering principle and exact division (See on theory of number)
Theorem 23 (The remainder theorem)
If divide p(x) by x-c, where c then the remainder from division will be equal to p(c)
Proof let q(x)=x-c, from theorem22 there exists s(x) and r(x) such that
P(x)=s(x)(x-c)+r(x)..............(1)
When r(x)=0 or r(x) is a polynomial with degree be less than x-c
So, r(x)=0 or there is degree to be zero
That is, r(x) is constant d, d
Thence, from (1) implies that p(x)=s(x)(x-c)+d............(2)
Since, an equation (2) is to be true x
Hence, if let x=c will get p(c)=s(c)(c-c)+d=d
Therefore, the remainder from division is d=p(c)
Remark: we can find the remainder from the division by using
1 The long division and 2 The remainder theorem
Example 4 Work out the remainder from the division 2
-3
+5 by x+1
Solution consider x+1=x-(-1)=x-c so implies that c=-1
And p(-1)=2(
-3(
+5
=2-3+5
=4
Therefore, the remainder is equal to 4
Definition 5 the polynomial q(x) is one factor of p(x) if and only if there exists s(x)
Such that p(x)=q(x)s(x)
Example 5 Let p(x)=
+2
+x-6)
2 x-2 is one factor of p(x) as p(x)=(x-2)(
+4x+3)
3 x+3 is one factor of p(x) as p(x)=(x+3)(
-x-2)
From definition 5 we see obviously p(-1)=0, p(2)=0 and p(-3)=0 which the following
theorem will state us that (x-c) is one factor of p(x) or not has to see at p(c)
Theorem 24 (Factors theorem)
Let p(x) and c will obtain that x-c is a factor of p(x) if and only if p(c)=0
Proof () let x-c is a factor of p(x)
So, from definition5, there exists s(x) such that p(x)=(x-c)s(x)
And implies that p(c)=(c-c)s(c)=0
Therefore, p(c)=0
() let p(c)=0 and divide p(x) by x-c
So, from division algorithm there exists s(x) and d such that p(x)=x-c)s(x)+d
Finally will obtain p(c)=(c-c)s(c)+d
=d
But p(c)=0 and then d=p(c)=0
That is, p(x)=(x-c)s(x)
Therefore, x-c is a factor of p(x)
From () and () conclude that x-c is a factor of p(x) if and only if p(c)=0
Example 6 1 Let p(x)=2
-3
+11
-7
-3
+x-1
And p(2)=2(
-3(
+2-1
=32-12+2-1
=21
By the factor theorem to conclude x-2 isnt a factor of p(x)
2 Since, q(x)=6
+11
-7
-8x+4
And q(-1)=6(
+11(
-7(
-8(-1)+4
=6-11-7+8+4
=0
And q(-2)=6(
+11(
-7(
-8(-2)+4
=96-88-28+16+4
=0
So, x+1 and x+2 are factors of q(x) which make (x+1)(x+2)=
+3x+2 is to be same.
Consider long division as follows.

Thence, p(x)=(x+1)(x+)(6
-7x+2)
=(x+1)(x+2)(3x-2)(2x-1)=0
And will get x+1=0, x+2=0, 3x-2=0, 2x-1=0
And implies that x=-1, x=-2, x=

Therefore, the solution set is {-2, -1,

1) (x-a)(x-b)<0, when ab we can separate to be 3 cases as follows.
1.1) If x>b then x-a>0 and x-b>0 and then (x-a)(x-b)>0 arise a contradiction.
1.2) If a<x<b then x-a>0 and x-b<0 and then (x-a)(x-b)<0 is to be true.
1.3) If x<a then x-a<0 and x-b<0 and then (x-a)(x-b)>0 arise a contradiction.
Therefore, the answer of (x-a)(x-b)<0 is { | }or (a, b)
2) (x-a)(x-b)>0, similar we can separate to be 3 cases as follows.
2.1) If x>b then x-a>0 and x-b>0 and then (x-a)(x-b)>0 is to be true.

2 We can consider similarly (x-a)(x-b)0 and (x-a)(x-b)0
As x-a xa and x-b xb so, we have
(x-a)(x-b)0axbx[a,b] and (x-a)(x-b)0xa or xbx(-,a][b,)

Point 4 is left the showing as an exercise.
In general cases assume that we have the following inequalities.
1 (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d)(x-e)(x-f)(x-g) will acquire that the answer is
x(-,a)(b,c)(d,e)(f,g)

x(a,b)(c,d)(e,f)(g,)

From all above can write the following theorem.
Theorem 42 let a, b, c, d, e , where a<b<c<d<e then will acquire that
1 (x-a)(x-b)<0x(a, b) 2 (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)<0x(-, a)(b, c)

Proof 1() as a<b implies (x<a<b) or (a<x<b) or (a<b<x), x
And, since (x-a)(x-b)<0 so will obtain a<x<b
Therefore, x(a, b)
( ) x(a, b) implies a<x<b implies (a<x) and (x<b)
And make x-a>0, x-b<0 so, (x-a)(x-b)<0
For the all remaining are left the proof as exercises.

Lesson Three
Principal theory of numbers
The following will say to some special property of integers are division which consist of
exact division and non- division. Exact division leads to involved theorem Greatest
Common divisor, Least Common multiple and its application.
Non-division leads to division Algorithm
its partition or residue class and its application.
3.1 Exact Division
Definition1 Let a, b , where a0
b is divided exactly by a or b is divisible by a or a is a factor of b if and only if
there exists c such that b=ac, a0 called a is a divisor of b, called c is a
quotient of b by a and called b the multiple of a which is written by
Remark:1 b is non-divisible by a if and only if there doesnt exist c such that b=ac
And is written by b
2 when a0 will obtain that , , , and a=1
Its properties
Theorem 1 Let a, b, c and a, b0 will obtain that
If and then
Proof Since and at last b=ax and c=by, x, y
Afterward, c=by=(ax)y=a(xy)=ak, k=xy
Therefore,
Theorem 2 Let a, b , b>0 will obtain that
If then ab
Proof Since will obtain b=ax, x

a>0a1, x>0x1
Consider x1axaab
Theorem 3 Let a, b , where a0, b0 will obtain that
and a=b
Proof () and at last b=ax and a=by, x, y
Consider b=ax=(by)x=b(xy)xy=1x=1 and y=1 or x=-1 and y=-1
Therefore, a=b or a=-b
() we see obviously is to be true.
Theorem 4 Let a, b and b0 will get that
If then || ||
Proof It is left the proof as an exercise.
Theorem 5 Let a, b and a0 will get that
If and ||>|| then b=0
Proof will acquire b=ax, x at last ||=||=||||
But since ||>|| will acquire ||||>||||
So that ||>|||| at last 1>||
Now, we have x=0
Finally, we conclude b=a(0)=0
Theorem 6 Let a, b, c , where a0 will acquire that
If and then (
Proof It is left the proof as an exercise.
Theorem 7 Let a, b, c , where a0 will acquire that
If ( and then
Proof It is left the proof as an exercise.
3.2 Prime and Composite numbers
Aristotle and Euclid separated the natural numbers that are greater than 1 are two
partitions
Include with prime numbers and composite numbers.
Definition 2 The integer p is called prime number if and only if p 1 and if a, b
And p=ab then a=1 or b=1
={2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37,...}
Definition 3 The integer c is called composite number if and only if there exist a, b
Which 1<ab<n such that c=ab
={4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25...}
Theorem 8 n , where n>1
There is prime number p such that
Proof To see on text of theory of number
Theorem 9 (The fundamental theorem of Arithmetic)
For all elements of natural numbers that are greater than one can write in
Type of multiplication of prime numbers only type except commutative of
multiplier or be multiplication by 1
Let n , n>1 will get that n can write in this type
n=
...
, where
i{1, 2, 3, 4,...,k}
and
, ...,
<
<
<...<
and can
write only one type.
Proof To see on text of theory of number
Lemma1 Let n , n>1 and n=
...

i{1, 2, 3, 4,...,k}
Will acquire that the number of all factors of n are (
+1)(
+1)...(
+1)
Proof it is assigned as an exercise.
Theorem 10 If n then there exists p which p

Example 1 1 Prove that if ( and ( then
2 Prove that if ( and ab then ac
3 If n {0}, Prove that if and only if the sum of digits of n is divided
exactly by 3
Proof 1 ( will obtain ( but (
So that (( ( at last
2 Assume that will get c=ay,y but (
So that will get b+c=ax, x
Consider b+c=b+ay=ax at last b=a(x-y)=ak, x-y
Therefore, () arise a contradiction
3 Let n=
, where
n=
+...+
=(999...9+1)
+(999...9+1)
+...+(99+1)
+(9+1)
=(999...9
+999...9
+999...9
+...+99
+9
)+(
+...+
)
And since and (
+999...9
+999...9
+...+99
+9
)
So that (
+...+
)
3.3 Division Algorithm
Since the consequence arise from addition multiplication subtraction and division
Have to be unique so we have to define remainder that arises from division as follows.
Consider the following expressions.
=4+
14=(4.3)+2
=-4+
14=(-4)(-3)+2
=-5+
-14=(-5)(-3)+1
=5+
-14=5(-3)+1
=5+
15=5.3
=-5+
15=(-5)(-3)
=5+
-15=5(-3)
We see obviously that the remainder arise from division has to be greater than or
Equal to be zero and be less than absolute value of divisor.
Theorem 12 (Division Algorithm)
If a, b , where b0 then there exists q, r only one pair such that
a=bq+r, 0r ||
Called q is to be quotient, r is to be remainder
Proof To see on text of theory of numbers
From division algorithm above we find that for all x when is divided by b , where
b>0 will have a remainder r is unique which r{0, 1, 2, 3,..., (b-1)}
Afterward we can conclude that the integers are partitioned to be b-1 sets as follows.
={ |
={ |
={ |
={ |
={ |
},...,
={ |
( }
For convenience we substitute
We can lead property above for proving theorem and problem involving integers.
3.4 Even and Odd numbers
The integers are partitioned is to be two sets are set of even and set of odd
Definition 4 Let k will acquire that
1 k is even number if and only if k=2i, I
2 k is odd number if and only if k=2j+1, j
Therefore, ={ | } and ={ | }, where =
Example 2 Show that 1 if k is odd number then

And when k=4k+3 then
-1=(

Therefore,

When k=3q+1 then

When k=3q+2 then

In general can write positive integer n in distributive pattern by the theorem below.
Theorem 13 Let b ,b>1 and n will acquire that n can write in distributive pattern

Example 4 Write 142 and 259 in distributive pattern of base 5, 9 respectively.
Solution by theorem above we have
142=(5.28)+2 when substitute back will acquire 142=(5.28)+2
28=(5.5)+3 =5((5.5)+3)+2
5=(5.1)+0 =(
5)+(3.5)+2
1=(5.0)+1 =
(5.1+0)+(3.5)+2
=(
.1)+(
.0)+ (3.5)
Therefore, 142=(
.1)+(
.0)+ (3.5)+2=(
259=(9.28)+7 when substitute back will acquire 259=(9.28)+7
28=(9.3)+1 =9((9.3)+1)+7

Therefore, 259=(3

When a, b will be possible the following two cases are ab or ba
Definition 5 Given a, b will acquire that
1 Maximum of a and b is written by Max{a, b}, and
Max{a, b}=C, where C=a, when ab or C=b, when b a
2 Minimum of a and b is written by Min{a, b}, and
Min{a, b}=d, where d=a, when ab or d=b, when ba
3.5 The Greatest Common Divisor
Definition 6 Provide a and b is integers, call an integer c>0 with can divide exactly
Both a and b is to be common divisor of a and b
Or when a, b, c , where c>0
c is common divisor of a, b if and only if and
Definition 7 Let a and b is integers, where a and b isnt simultaneous zero.
The positive integer d is called the greatest common divisor of a and b
If and only if d is common divisor that is greatest.
And written by (a, b)=d (G.C.D)
That is, 1 and and
2 if and the cd
Remark: From definition we can show that
1 2 (a, 0)=a 3 if then (a, b)=a

Example 5 Find G.C.D of 10,500 and 4,900 by the fundamental theorem of Arithmetic
Solution Since 10,500=
and 4,900=
So that (10,500, 4,900)=
=700
2 Euclidean Algorithms
Euclid used process of division algorithm for finding G.C.D of non-zero integers a, b
which has to use the following lemma.
Lemma 2 Let a, b , where a0, b0 and a=bq+r, 0<r<|| will acquire that
(a, b)=(b, r)
Proof Let d=(a, b) and k=(b, r)
() d=(a, b) and ( , k=(b, r)
() k=(b, r) and , d=(a, b)
From () and () can conclude (a, b)=(b, r) as d>0 and k>0
Theorem 14 (Euclidean Algorithm)
Let a, b , where a>0 will acquire that there are

And (a, b)=
Proof 1 If b=ac+0, c
From lemma above will obtain that (a, b)=(a, 0)=a
2 If ab by division algorithm will obtain that there exist
such that
b=a
, 0<
<a
According to reality that there exist positive integers that are less than a are to be finite.
And use repeatedly to doing of division algorithm will acquire that there exist

By using lemma above will obtain that (a, b)=(b,

From the Euclidean Algorithm will acquire that (a, b)=dd=ax+by, x, y
For finding x and y can do by elimination remainder
,...,
from equations
Above which there is a method as follows.
Beginning from

It will see that equation (1) show to writing
and
Next step it do repeatedly like this to go on which will eliminate remainders
,...,
Respectively at last will obtain the equation that show to writing
in the pattern of
The sum of a and b but
is G.C.D of a and b
That is, this method make we know value of x and y that make (a, b)=ax+by
Example 6 Find G.C.D of 321, 123 and x, y that make (321, 123)=321x+123y
Solution by Euclidean algorithm we have
321=(2.123)+75 and 3=21-(6.3)
123=(1.75)+48 =21-(27-21.1)3=21-27.3+21.3
75=(1.48)+27 =(48-27.1)-27.3+(48-27.1)3
48=(1.27)+21 =48-27.1-27.3+48.3-27.3=48.4-27.7
27=(1.21)+6 =48.4-(75-48.1)7=48.4-75.7+48.7=48.11-75.7
21=(3.6)+3 =(123-75.1)11-75.7=123.11-75.11-75.7=123.11-75.18
6=(2.3)+0 =123.11-(321-123.2)18=123.11-321.18+123.36
Therefore, (321, 123)=3 =123.47+321(-18)
And x=-18, y=47

Example 7 Find G.C.D of 30, 42, 60 and 84
Solution (30, 42, 60, 84)=((30, 42), (60, 84))
=(6, 12)=6
Example 8 Find the greatest positive integer that divide 373, 472 and 783 and then
There is remainder is to be 9, 10 and 13 respectively.
Solution Let x is that greatest positive integer.
From the given information we have
373=xa+9373-9=364=ax
472=xb+10472-10=462=xb
783=xc+13783-13=770=xc
From 3 equations above we find that x has to be G.C.D of 364, 462 and 770
That is x=(364, 462, 770)=((364, 462), 770)
=((28.13, 28.16), 770)=(28, 770)
=(14.2, 14.55)=14
Therefore, the greatest positive integer is 14
Example 9 Prove that if then (a, b)(a, c), a, b, c , where a0, b0
Proof Since c=bk, k so (a, c)=(a, bk)
Let (a, b)=d and (a, bk)=t we have to show that
As (a, b)=d and and k
And (a, bk)=t and
Conclude that , where d>0, t>0
From theorem2 will acquire dt
That is (a, b)(a, c)
3.7 Relatively Prime Numbers
Naturally when a and b are prime numbers will acquire that (a, b)=1
Next although integer a will not be prime number can find integer b that make (a, b)=1
And say that a and b are relatively prime numbers
Definition 9 The given a and b are integers
a and b are relatively primes if and only if (a, b)=1
Example 10 Show that 3x+1, 4x+1 and 4x-1, -7x+2 are relatively prime numbers
Showing Since (3x+1, 4x+1)=d ( and (
From theorem6 will get (( (( )
Now, we have but d>0 so d=1
Therefore, 3x+1, 4x+1 is relatively prime numbers
For 4x-1, -7x+2 can show similarly.
Theorem 15 The integers a and b are relatively prime numbers if and only if
There exist integers x and y such that 1=ax+by
Proof () Let (a, b)=1 from Euclidean algorithm there exist integers x and y
That make 1=ax+by
() Let (a, b)=d and ( , x, y
But 1=ax+by so
And since d>0 so d=1
That is, (a, b)=d=1
Therefore, integers a and b are relatively prime numbers
Theorem 16 The given a, b and p will acquire that
If then or
Proof Assume that pa(p, a)=11=px+ay, x, y
b=(bp)x+(ba)y
And, since, ( and (
Therefore,
Theorem 17 The given a, b, c, m will acquire that
1 If (a, m)=(b, m)=1 then (ab, m)=1
2 If (a, m)=1 and then (b, m)=1
3 If and (a, b)=1 then
4 If and , where (a, b)=1 then
Proof All are left the proof as exercises.
3.8 Least Common Multiple
A common multiple of integers from two numbers are the integer with is divided exactly
by those integers. From the expression above, we find that when the given integers
from two numbers then there exists obviously its common multiple at the least
one is the product of them.
Definition10 The given a, b , where a0, b0
1 Integers h>0 are called that are to be common multiple of a, b
If and only if h is divided exactly by a and b
2 the integer m is called that is to be least common multiple of a, b if and only
if m is the least positive integer with is divided exactly by a and b
And written by [a, b], (L.C.M)
That is the positive integer m is L.C.M of a and b if and only if
1 and and
2 If and then h
3.9 Finding L.C.M of integers a and b

Example 12 Find G.C.D of 30, 42, 60 and 84
Solution [30, 42, 60, 84]=[[30, 42], [60, 84]]
=[210, 420]=420
Theorem 19 The given a, b , where a0, b0 will acquire that
[a, b](a, b)=ab
Proof since [a, b]=[||,||] and (a, b)=(||, ||)
So it is sufficiency that will show only a>0 and b>0
Let [ ] m and m
dx b
m by
dy a
Let c Where, , ci, b ,we will show that
SO dy
yj xi
But ( so
And since cj b and m ax it will get cj b

Hence cxk dx ck d that is d (
Therefore m
md ab [ ]( ab
Or since when a>0, b>0 we can write and when a<0 or b<0 we use || or ||
Consider a=

Where each integer

=ab
Example 13 1 Find the least positive integer with is divided by 5, 7, 9 and 12 will have
The remainders are to be 3, 4, 1 and 7 respectively
2 Prove that if ab>0 then [a, b]ab
Solution 1 Let x is the least positive integer
So, x=5m+3, m
=7n+4, n
=9p+1, p
=12q+7, q
And x+2=5m+5(x+2)+15=(5m+5)+15=5(m+4)
=7n+6(x+2)+15=(7n+6)+15=7(n+3)
=9p+3(x+2)+15=(9p+3)+15=9(p+2)
=12q+9(x+2)+15=12q+9)+15=12(q+2)
From 4 equations above will obtain that x+17 is common multiple of 5, 7, 9 and 12
And since x is the least positive integer with is divided by 5, 7, 9 and 12 will have
The remainders are to be 3, 4, 1 and 7 respectively.
So, x+17 is the least common multiple of 5, 7, 9 and 12 which is 1260
Now, we have x+17=1260x=1243
Therefore, the least positive integer that requires to be 1243
2 Since ab>0(a, b)[a, b]=ab
And ab>0a0b0(a, b)1
[a, b](a, b)[a, b]
Therefore, [a, b]ab
