EXAMPLE: The sum of any two even integers is even. Answer: Proof. (direct) Suppose x and y are even integers. By definition of even, let x = 2k and y = 2j for some integers j and k. Then, x+y=2k+2j = 2(k + j) Note that k+j is an integer because it is the sum of integers. Therefore, by definition of even, x + y is even. (d) If x is an integer, then 3x²+5x-1 is odd.
