Each of the following statements is either true or false. If a statement is true, prove it. If a statement is false, disprove it: a. For every natural number n, the integer n^2 + 17n + 17 is prime. b. If A and B are sets and A intersect B = the nullset, then P(A) - P(B) is a subset of P(A - B). c. If A and B are sets, then P(A) intersect P(B) = P(A intersect B). d.  If p and q are prime numbers for which p < q, then 2p + q^2 is odd.

Question

 Each of the following statements is either true or false. If a statement is true, prove
 it. If a statement is false, disprove it:

a. For every natural number n, the integer n^2 + 17n + 17 is prime.

b. If A and B are sets and A intersect B = the nullset, then P(A) - P(B) is a subset of P(A - B).

c. If A and B are sets, then P(A) intersect P(B) = P(A intersect B).

d.  If p and q are prime numbers for which p < q, then 2p + q^2 is odd.
