5)
B. Find a counterexample to show that each statement is false.
6) The sum of any three odd numbers is even.
7) When an even number is added to the product of two odd numbers, the result will
be even.
8) When an odd number is squared and divided by 2, the result will be a whole
number.
C. Use inductive reasoning to make a conjecture about a rule that relates the number
you selected to the final answer. Prove your conjecture by using deductive reasoning.
