13a Begins the proof by assuming the opposite is true. B1
‘Assumption: there exists a number n such that n2 is even and n is odd.’

Defines an odd number (choice of variable is not important) and successfully calculates n2 M1

Let 2k + 1 be an odd number.

Factors the expression and concludes that this number must be odd. M1

, so n2 is odd.

Makes a valid conclusion. B1

13b Begins the proof by assuming the opposite is true. B1

‘Assumption: is a rational number.’

Defines the rational number: M1

for some integers a and b, where a and b have no common factors.

Squares both sides and concludes that a is even: M1

From part a: a2 is even implies that a is even.

Further states that if a is even, then a = 2c. Choice of variable is not important. M1

M1
Makes a substitution and works through to find , concluding that b is also even.

From part a: b2 is even implies that b is even.

Makes a valid conclusion. B1

Therefore is an irrational number.
