When we have a statement and we want to prove the converse, contradiction, and contrapositive. When we prove the contrapositive we know that its logically equivalent to the original statement so no further steps are needed, but what kind of extra steps do we need to prove the converse and contradiction? Maybe using the following statement could assist in the explanation?: "Let n ∈ Z. Prove that (n + 1)2 − 1 is even if and only if n is even.

1. (a) Each of the following true statements contains an implication. (i) For all a, b E Z, if a – b is even then a + b is even. (ii) For all A C N, if A is finite then Ac is infinite. Write down the converse of each statement and decide (with justifica- tion) whether it is true or false. (b) Consider the statement: For all x, y, z E Z. At least one of x – y, x – z and y - z is even. (i) Write down a roadmap for a proof of this statement by contradic- tion. (ii) Fill in the details of your roadmap to prove the statement.
solve question A until C
5. Write the following statements symbolically and then demonstrate whether they are true or false. If true, then prove it, If false, then provide a counterexample or prove that the negation of the statement is true. (a) For all integers, if 9 divides n2, then 9 divides n. (b) There exist integers m and n such that 15m + 12n = -6.
Decide which of the following are true statements. Provide ashort justification for those that are valid and a counterexample for those thatare not: (a) Two real numbers satisfy a < b if and only if a < b + epsilon for every epsilon > 0.(b) Two real numbers satisfy a < b if a < b + epsilon for every epsilon > 0.(c) Two real numbers satisfy a ≤ b if and only if a < b + epsilon for every epsilon > 0.
Decide whether or not the following propositions are true or false. Justify each ofyour conclusions with a proof or a counterexample.(a) ∃x ∈ R (x 2 = x 3 and x > 0)(b) ∀n ∈ N + (2 n + 3 is prime)(c) ¬∃x ∈ R (x 2 < 36)
Question 7. Express the following statement using the logic symbols, and decide whether it is true or false. Explain your answer briefly. The equation z² + y² = 1 has a solution (x, y) in which both z and y are natural numbers.
Please if able give an example for both propositions showing how they satisfy the given points, especially proposition 2 is the one I struggle with.
Disprove the following statement. Then write the negation of the following statement, and prove that the negation of the statement is true. Vintegers m and n, if 2m + n is odd then m and n are both odd.
