Suppose that P(n), Q(n) and R(n) are statements about the integer n. Let S(n) be the statement: "If P(n) is true then Q(n) and R(n) are both true." (a) The contrapositive of S(n) is the statement Olf Q (n) and R(n) are both true then P(n) is false. Olf Q (n) and R(n) are both true then P(n) is true. Olf at least one of Q (n) and R(n) is false then P(n) is false. Olf Q (n) and R(n) are both false then P(n) is false. Olf at least one of Q(n) and R(n) is false then P(n) is true. Olf P(n) is false then at least one of Q(n) and R(n) is false.

If the contradiction method is used to prove the assertion "For any positive integer n > 0, if a" is even, then a is even.", then a valid implementation of that method begins by assuming that the negation of the statement is true. Choose all of the following statements that correctly express the negation of the above assertion. Vn E N – {0}, rem(a?, 2) = 0 → rem(a, 2) = 0 Vn EN – {0}, rem(a², 2) = 0 rem(a, 2) = 1 En e N – {0}, rem(a?, 2) = 0 → rem(a, 2) In eN - {0}, rem(a², 2) = 0 ^ rem(a, 2) = 1 For any positive integer n > 0, if a" is even, then a is odd. There exists a positive integer n > 0 where a" is even implies that a is od. There exists a positive integer n > 0 where a" is even and a is odd.
