Example:
=> Suppose nez. If n² is even, then n is even.
Proof (Contrapositive). Suppose n is not even,
Then n is odd, so n=2a+ 1 for some integer a by
definition of an odd number.
2
Thus n² =12a+ı)²

DATE
49² +4a+1 = 2 /29² +2a) + 1
Consequently, n² = (26 + 1)² =²492² 2² teatty
where b is integer 20₁² + 20
So, n² is odd
Therefore n² is not even.
