To prove the statement "If \( x \) is an integer and \( x^2 \) is even, then \( x \) is also even" using the method of contrapositive, we will first rewrite the statement in terms of its contrapositive form. ### Step 1: Identify the original statement The original statement is: - If \( x \) is an integer and \( x^2 \) is even, then \( x \) is even. This can be expressed as: - \( p \): \( x \) is an integer and \( x^2 \) is even. ...
