5) [2 marks] Give a proof by contradiction that if n+2 is even then n is even
Homework Answers
let's assume if n+2 is even, then n is odd taken a value for n+2 which is even. let's take n+2 = 14(an even number) n = 14-2 = 12, which is also an even number. but in the hypothesis, we assumed n to be an odd number. so, by contradiction we proved that if n+2 is even, then n is an even number.

25. (2 points) Below is a proof presented as a proof by contradiction. Restate the proof, using the same ideas, as a proof of the contrapositive of the proposition. Proposition: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational. Proof: Suppose BWOC that there existr e Q and neR-Q such that run e Q. Sincer is rational, r = for some p, q E Z. Sincer+ne Q, also r+n= for some a, b e Z. Now: r...
