To show that one and only one out of \( n, n+2, n+4 \) is divisible by 3, where \( n \) is any positive integer, we can analyze the possible cases based on the value of \( n \) modulo 3. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Consider the possible values of \( n \) modulo 3**: - Any integer \( n \) can be expressed in one of three forms based on its remainder when divided by 3: - Case 1: \( n \equiv 0 \mod 3 \) - Case 2: \( n \equiv 1 \mod 3 \) ...
