Use the method of contrapositive proof to prove the following statements. (In each case you should also think about how a direct proof would work. You will find in most cases that contrapositive is easier.) 1. Suppose ne Z. If n² is even, then n is even. 2. Suppose ne Z. If n² is odd, then n is odd. 3. Suppose a,b € Z. If a²(b²-2b) is odd, then a and b are odd. 4. Suppose a,b,c e Z. If a does not divide be, then a does not divide b. 5. Suppose x € R. If x² +5x<0 then x<0. D 16.3
