Need the solution for number five, please explain process of finding the solution

1. Apply a truth table to show each conclusion of following:
(a) ~(-p) = p
(b) ~(pVq) = (~p) ^ (~q)
2. Write down the converse, inverse and contra-positive of each of the following statements:
(a) For any real number x, if x >4, then x² > 16.
(b) If both a and b are integers, then their product ab is an integer.
3. Use logical equivalences to simplify each one of following
a) ((PA¬Q) V (PAQ)) ^Q (b)-((-p^q) v (p^-q)) v (p^q)
4. Negating the following statements:
(a) V primes p, p is odd.
(b) 3 a triangle T such that the sum of the angles equals 200°.
(c) For every square x there is a triangle y such that x and y have different colors.
(d) There exists a triangle y such that for every square x, x and y have different colors.
(e) V people p, if p is blond then p has blue eyes.
