Chapter 5 # 8

Certainly! Below is the transcription structured for an educational website. --- **Chapter 5 Exercises - Contrapositive Proof** **A. Prove the following statements with contrapositive proof.** (In each case, think about how a direct proof would work. In most cases contrapositive is easier.) 1. Suppose \( n \in \mathbb{Z} \). If \( n^2 \) is even, then \( n \) is even. 2. Suppose \( n \in \mathbb{Z} \). If \( n^2 \) is odd, then \( n \) is odd. 3. Suppose \( a, b \in \mathbb{Z} \). If \( a^2(b^2 - 2b) \) is odd, then \( a \) and \( b \) are odd. 4. Suppose \( a, b, c \in \mathbb{Z} \). If \( a \) does not divide \( bc \), then \( a \) does not divide \( b \). 5. Suppose \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). If \( x^2 + 5x < 0 \) then \( x < 0 \). 6. Suppose \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). If \( x^3 - x > 0 \) then \( x > -1 \). 7. Suppose \( a, b \in \mathbb{Z} \). If both \( ab \) and \( a + b \) are even, then both \( a \) and \( b \) are even. 8. Suppose \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). If \( 5x^5 - 4x^4 + 3x^3 - x^2 + 3x - 4 \leq 0 \), then \( x \geq 0 \). 9. Suppose \( n \in \mathbb{Z} \). If 3 divides \( n^2 \), then 3 divides \( n \). 10. Suppose \( x, y, z \in \mathbb{Z} \) and \( x \neq 0 \). If \( x \mid yz \), then \( x \mid y \) and \( x \mid z \). 11. Suppose \( x, y \in \mathbb{Z}
