The domain of the following predicates is all integers greater than 1. P(x) = 'x is prime' and Q(x,y) = 'x divides y'. Consider the statement: For every x that is not prime, there is some prime y that divides it. a) Write the statement in predicate logic. b) In symbols, write the negation of the symbolic statement above. c) Rewrite the negation in English. d) Determine which of the statements (the original or the negation) is true and justify your answer.

24. Determine whether the following assertions are true or false. If true, prove the result, and if false, give a counterexample. 1. If (a, b) = (a, c) then [a,b] = [a,c] 2. If (a, b) = (a, c) then (a^2, b^2) = (a^2, c^2) 3. If (a, b) = (a, c) then (a, b) = (a, b, c) 4. If p is a prime and p | a and p | (a^2 + b^2) then p | b 5. If p is a prime and p | a^7 then p | a
