Question3

Question4

    P: a is a multiple of 4
   Q: 3a+1 is odd
a)Direct proof:
: 
     a is a mutiple of 4
     Suppose: a=4n
    
     is an odd
b)Contradiction:
: 
     is even ()
    
         
      
       is odd ()
    
c)Contraposition:
: 
     ()
    
     It's clear that can't be divided by 4 ()
   

Question5

   If is even then is even then the proof is done.
  If is odd then is an odd then is an even number
