(choose chapter or problem)

a. Prove by contraposition: For all positive integers n,r, and s, ifrsn, thenr n or s n. b. Prove: For all integers n > 1, if n is not prime, then there exists a prime number p such that p n and n is divisible by p.(Hints: Use the result of part (a) and Theorems 4.3.1, 4.3.3, and 4.3.4.) c. State the contrapositive of the result of part (b). The results of exercise 31 provide a way to test whether an integer is prime.
