a. Use proof by contradiction to show that for any integer n, it is impossible for n to equal both 3q1 +r1 and 3q2 +r2, whereq1,q2,r1, andr2, are integers, 0r1 < 3,0r2 < 3, and r1 =r2. b. Use proof by contradiction, the quotient-remainder theorem, division into cases, and the result of part (a) toprovethatforallintegersn,ifn2 isdivisibleby3then n is divisible by 3. c. Prove that3 is irrational.
