ow the following propositions using a proof by contradiction. a) Proposition. Suppose n E Z. If n² is odd, then n is odd. ) Proposition. If a, b = Z, then a² - 4b - 20. (Hint: use the proposition that if a² is even, then a is even.) Proposition. There exist no integers a and b for which 18a + 6b = 1.
