5. What is the assumption (i.e., what you suppose) and what is the conclusion (i.e., what you need to show) in a proof by contrapositive of the following statement? "For any real number x, if 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, then 15 - 8x + x2 > 0." a. We suppose that x<0 and x>3. We must show that 15 - 8x + x2 ≤ 0. b. We suppose that x<0 or x>3. We must show that 15 - 8x + x 2 ≤ 0. c. We suppose that 15-8x + x 2 ≤0. We must show that x<0 and x > 3. d. We suppose that 15-8x+x2≤0. We must show that x<0 or x> 3.

Prove that if x, y, and z are integers and x+y+s is odd, then at least one of x, y, and z is odd. Use the proof by cases to prove that there are no solutions in integers x and y to the equation 4x* +3y = 20 or find such integer solution.
(b) Let n be an integer. Show that n if the sum of the digits of n is a multiple of 3,then n is a multiple of 3. You must do so by a direct proof. For this problem youmay assume that ∀a, b ∈ Z, ∀m ∈ Z+, (a ≡ x (mod m) ∧ b ≡ y (mod m)) ⇒ ab ≡ xymod m. *Solve by direct proof*

Question 4: Use a proof by contradiction to prove that the sum of an irrational number x and a rational number y is irrational.
The correct statements are: If A is polynomially reducible to B and B and C are both in NP, then AU C is in NP. If A is polynomially reducible to B and B and C are both in P, then AU C is in P. If A is polynomially reducible to B, B is polynomially reducible to C and C is in P, then AUC is in P. If A is polynomially reducible to B, B is polynomially reducible to C and C is in NP, then AUC is in NP.
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Vasya concentrates on the properties of right triangles, and he utilizes a recipe that decides whether some triple of integers is Pythagorean. Lamentably, he has failed to remember the specific recipe; he recalls just that the recipe was some condition with squares. Along these lines, he concocted the accompanying equation: c=a2−b. Clearly, this isn't the right recipe to check if a triple of numbers is Pythagorean. Yet, amazingly, it really dealt with the triple (3,4,5): 5=32−4, thus, as indicated by Vasya's equation, it is a Pythagorean triple. When Vasya tracked down the right recipe (and comprehended that his equation is off-base), he pondered: what number of are there triples of integers (a,b,c) with 1≤a≤b≤c≤n to such an extent that they are Pythagorean both as per his equation and the genuine definition? He requested that you count these triples. Input The principal line contains one integer t…

Let P be “this book is a non-fiction book” and Q be “the ideas in the book is consistent with physical reality.” Consider a case where both P and Q are false (e.g. a fantasy novel and an unrealistic phenomenon in the novel) and see whether it makes sense that P→Q is true. [Give an example, i.e., the name of a book and a particular idea in that book] Explain why it is possible that P→Q is true yet Q is false. [Type your explanation]
