Let $n \geq2$ be an integer number and $D_n$ the set of all the points $(x,y)$ in the plane such that its coordinates are integer numbers with: $-n \le x \le n$ and $-n \le y \le n$. (a) There are three possible colors in which the points of $D_n$ are painted with (each point has a unique color). Show that with any distribution of the colors, there are always two points of $D_n$ with the same color such that the line that contains them does not go through any other point of $D_n$. (b) Find a way to paint the points of $D_n$ with 4 colors such that if a line contains exactly two points of $D_n$, then, this points have different colors.

Let $ a$, $ b$ and $ k$ be three positive integers. We define two sequences $ \left( a_{n}\right)$ and $ \left( b_{n}\right)$ by the starting values $ a_{1}\equal{}a$ and $ b_{1}\equal{}b$ and the recurrent equations $ a_{n\plus{}1}\equal{}ka_{n}\plus{}b_{n}$ and $ b_{n\plus{}1}\equal{}kb_{n}\plus{}a_{n}$ for each positive integer $ n$. Prove that if $ a_{1}\perp b_{1}$, $ a_{2}\perp b_{2}$ and $ a_{3}\perp b_{3}$ hold, then $ a_{n}\perp b_{n}$ holds for every positive integer $ n$. Here, the abbreviation $ x\perp y$ stands for "the numbers $ x$ and $ y$ are coprime".
