Example: Suppose nez. If n² is even, then n is even. Proof (Contrapositive). Suppose n is not even, Then nis odd, so n = 2a + 1 for some integer a by definition of an odd number. Thus n² = (2a+ı) ² 2 = 2 So, n² is odd Therefore n² is PAGE DATE 492 +4a11 = 2 (29²+2a) + 1 + Consequently, n² = (26 + 1)² =1²49²2²4 alretratis where b is integer 20² +29 not even.
