Resolva cada questão ultilizando os princípios de matemática discreta. 

I can see that you have provided a set of questions from a partial evaluation in Discrete Mathematics. Let's analyze and solve each question based on the mathematical principles involved.

### Question 1:
**(2 points)**: Determine all positive integers \( n \) such that:
\[ 2n - 1 \mid n^2 + 6 \]

**Solution**:
We are asked to find the values of \( n \) for which \( 2n - 1 \) divides \( n^2 + 6 \). The expression \( a \mid b \) means that \( a \) divides \( b \) without remainder. This involves finding divisibility conditions and may be approached by simplifying both expressions or testing small values of \( n \).

### Question 2:
**(2 points)**: Determine all pairs of positive integers \( x, y \) such that:
\[
\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{30}
\]

**Solution**:
We are tasked with solving this equation for integer pairs \( x \) and \( y \). Start by clearing the fractions:
\[
\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{30} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{x + y}{xy} = \frac{1}{30}
\]
Multiplying both sides by \( 30xy \) gives:
\[
30(x + y) = xy
\]
Rearranging this gives a Diophantine equation:
\[
xy - 30x - 30y = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (x - 30)(y - 30) = 900
\]
This simplifies the problem into finding factor pairs of 900.

### Question 3:
**(3 points)**: Use a combinatorial argument to show that for any integers \( n \geq 0 \):
\[
\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} 2^k = 3^n
\]

**Solution**:
This is a typical combinatorial identity that can be proven using the binomial theorem:
\[
(1 + 2)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} 1^{n-k} 2^k = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} 2^k
\]
On the left-hand side, we have \( 3^n \). Thus, the identity is shown to hold by expanding the binomial expression.

---

### Question 4:
**(3 points)**: Determine the value of the sum:
\[
\sum_{k=1}^{100} k \mod 6
\]

**Solution**:
This question involves summing the values of \( k \mod 6 \) for \( k \) from 1 to 100. Since the modulus operation is periodic with a period of 6, we can first compute the sum for one full cycle of 6, then multiply by the number of full cycles in 100, and finally add the remainder.

---

### Question 5:
**(3 points)**: Use the **Third Fermat Little Theorem** to determine the following modulo values:
\[
2^{41} \mod 17, \quad 3^{2023} \mod 13, \quad 7^{186} \mod 19
\]

**Solution**:
By Fermat's Little Theorem, if \( p \) is a prime and \( a \) is an integer not divisible by \( p \), then:
\[
a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \mod p
\]
We will apply this theorem to each of the bases and moduli provided. For instance:
- \( 2^{41} \mod 17 \): Fermat’s Little Theorem gives \( 2^{16} \equiv 1 \mod 17 \).
- Similarly, we solve the other two moduli.
