Show that any positive odd integer isof the form4q+1, 4q+3whereqis some integer​

Answer»

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let a be any positive integer 

by EDL  a = bq +R 

0 ≤ r < b

possible remainders are 0, 1, 2 , 3 

 this shows that a can be in the form of 4q, 4q+1, 4q+2, 4q+3 q is quotient 

as a is ODD a  can't be the form of 4q or 4q+2 as they are even

so a ill be in the form of 4q + 1 or 4q+3 

hence proved
