3.Say whether the following is true or false and support your answer by a proof.
For any integer nn, the number n2+n+1n^2+n+1 is odd.

Proof: n2+n+1=n(n+1)+1n^2+n+1=n(n+1)+1. As nn and n+1n+1 are two consecutive integers, one of them must be even, so their product is even. Therefore, n2+n+1=n(n+1)+1n^2+n+1=n(n+1)+1 is odd.
