Prove the following statements by contradiction

a) If x∈Z is divisible by both even and odd integer, then x is even.

b) If A and B are disjoint sets, then A∪B = AΔB.

c) Let R be a relation on a set A. If R = R−1, then R is symmetric.

Let n be an integer, with n ≥ 2. Prove by contradiction that if n is not a prime number, then n is divisible by an integer x with 1 < x ≤√n. [Note: An integer m is divisible by another integer n if there exists a third integer k such that m = nk. This is just a formal way of saying that m is divisible by n if m n is an integer.]

(i) Is R reflexive? (ii) Is R symmetric? (iii) Is R antisymmetric? (iv) Is R transitive? (v) Is R an equivalence relation? If it is, then describe the equivalence classes of R. How many equivalence classes are there?
