Question

For each of the following universal statements, indicate if the statement
is true or false. If it is false, provide a specific value that represents a counterexample and show why it makes the statement false.
[Note: For any number x, |x| represents the absolute value of x.
For example, |7| = 7, | − 11| = 11, and |0| = 0.]
(a) (∀n ∈ Z) (n > −3n)
(b) (∀n ∈ Z) (|n| ≥ n)
(c) (∀n ∈ Z) ( (n^2)/(n^2)+1)  is not an integer).
(d) (∀x ∈ R) ((x^2) ≥ 7x -10)
