The Euclidean algorithm, which is used to find the greatest common divisor of two non-zero integers, is essentially several applications of the division algorithm. The key arithmetic observation that makes the division algorithm so helpful is the following: If a, b E Z are non-zero and we use the division algorithm to write a = bq+r, for some q, rez, then ged(a, b) = ged(b, r). In class, we brazenly used this fact without proof. It is time to prove that this is always true.(a) Assume that a = bq + r. Let D(a, b) be the set of common divisors of a and b, and let D(br) be the set of common divisors of b and r. Show that D(a, b) = D(0,r). Note that you are asked to show that two sets are equal. Thus, you must show that if D(a, b) C D(b, r) and D(0,r) C D(a, b). (b) Use your result from (a) to conclude that ged(a, b) = ged(b, r).

Stu and ambrose are working together on a study of whether diet is related to students' mental health. first, they randomly select 10 students from the student center and 10 students from the office of counseling and psychological services. then, they ask students to rate their diet in terms of healthiness on a scale of 1-100 before completing a 20-item mental health survey. a) name one of the constructs being studied b) how was the construct you named above operationally defined in this experiment? e) was the variable you described above their independent variable, their dependent variable, or a controlled variable? d) what is a confounding variable? what is a potential confound in this study?
