Given the statement: If the sum of two integers, m and n, is odd then one of the integers must be odd.

1. Formalize the statement.
2. Prove the statement is true using two proof methods, "proof by contraposition" and "proof using definitions".

 

For example, if I wanted to prove this statement using a direct proof, I
would start as follows:
Vm, n e Z,0 (m + n) →0 (m) VO (n) To be proved
