Let \( P(n) \) denote the propositional function \( 2n + 1 \) is an even integer with domain of discourse the positive integers.(i) Show that for any \( n \in \mathbb{Z}_+ \), \( P(n) \implies P(n + 1) \). (You may assume all properties of even integers)(ii) Show that \( \forall n \sim P(n) \) is true (\((n^2 + n)\) is even for each positive integer \( n \)). Precisely explain why this does not contradict the Principle of Mathematical Induction.
