Suppose that you would like to prove the following implication: 3. “For all numbers n, if n is prime then n is solitary.” Write out the beginning and end of the argument as if you were to prove the statement, (a) Directly (b) By contrapositive (c) By contradiction Note: you do not need to provide details for the proofs (since you do not know what solitary means). However, make sure that you provide the first and last couple of lines of the proofs so that I can see that logical structure you would follow
