Which of the following is a counterexample to that statement “All prime numbers are odd” a:The statement has no counterexamples b:What you are trying to prove c:The theorems you will use d: The definitions of important vocabulary
A counterexample is an example (a case) where the statement is false. One counter example is sufficient to invalidate the statement, compared to a million verifications that a statement is true does not prove anything. In your mind, are all prime numbers odd?
no so it wud be A?
Is 2 a prime?
yes but its not odd
So the statement is false. However, I do not see how the remaining 3 answers relate to the question. Can you check if there's a typo?
ohh there was a: the statement has no counterexamples b:21 is a prime number but not odd c:15 is an odd number but not prime d:2 is a prime number but not odd
