5. (4 pts each) Consider the following statement: "If a, b and c are even integers, then the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 has a real solution." I! (a) If you intend to prove this statement by a direct proof how would you start it? Phrase your answer in the form: "Suppose... Let us show that..." (b) If you intend to prove this statement by contraposition how would you start it? Phrase your answer in the form: "Suppose... Let us show that..." (c) If you intend to prove this statement by a contradiction how would you start it? Phrase your answer in the form: "Suppose... and that ...
